Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM), in collaboration with the Motorcycle & Scooter Dealer Association of Malaysia (MMSDA), recently launched its annual road safety campaign themed ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras.
The campaign aims to raise awareness about nighttime riding safety while also offering safety initiatives including a helmet exchange program, motorcycle safety checks, and interactive public activities.
HLYM adopted a new approach by holding the campaign in the evening, aligning it with local community activities and bustling bazaar areas.
In addition, it employs a creative storytelling approach using illustrated characters and interactive digital engagement to reinforce road safety messages.
In this way, HLYM hopes that the implemented campaign will make a more effective impact, while ensuring motorcycles are ready for a safer and smoother ‘balik kampung’ journey.
According to Dato’ Professor Dr. Jim Khor, Group Managing Director of Hong Leong Industries Berhad, “At HLYM, our role goes beyond simply providing motorcycles; we care about our riders’ safety.
“‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ is more than just a campaign; it’s our way of looking out for the community and equipping them with the right knowledge and tools to ride safely,” he stated.
HLYM will also continue this safety campaign initiative by organizing a Free Motorcycle Inspection Campaign at all authorized Yamaha dealers nationwide from March 20 to March 27, 2025.
Motorcyclists participating in this campaign will receive a free motorcycle inspection and have the chance to win exciting prizes sponsored by Genblu Reward.
Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) celebrated the remarkable achievement of producing its 6 millionth motorcycle at its Sungai Buloh factory.
The milestone model is a Yamaha Y16ZR, unveiled during a ceremony attended by Dato’ Prof. Dr. Jim Khor, Managing Director of Hong Leong Industries Bhd; Katsuaki Watanabe, Chairman, Director, and President of Yamaha Motor Japan; Datuk Kwek Leng San, President and CEO of Hong Leong Manufacturing Group; and Datuk Wee Hong, Chairman of the Malaysian Motorcycle and Scooter Dealers Association.
According to Dato’ Jim Khor, “Previously, the production figure of 5 million was a proud achievement reached over a span of 46 months. Today, we celebrate the achievement of 6 million motorcycles produced in just 37 months, marking the fastest million-unit production in the history of the Malaysian motorcycle industry.”
In conjunction with this achievement, HLYM also officially opened Space Y, the first motorcycle museum in Malaysia, which has been recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records.
Located at the Yamaha Motor Lifestyle Station HQ, Space Y features a spacious 9,000 square feet area that showcases engaging exhibits, including historical and racing sections, an innovation tunnel, interactive art spaces, a theater, and an exclusive Space Y merchandise store.
The museum is open daily except on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and visitors can enjoy free admission until December 31, 2024. Starting January 2025, an entrance fee of RM5 for adults and RM3 for children will be implemented.
