KUALA LUMPUR: With a week more to go before the introduction of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) in September, a pair of business partners have been given a mission to secure a vehicle during the 2018 CarSifu Auto Show.

For business partners Harmeet and Sarjit Panesar, who got to know about the show through The Star newspaper, their brother-in-law have commissioned them to seek and select the best offer at the show.

"We've actually been shopping around for a few months now and since we saw that the show was happening in Mid Valley in The Star newspaper, we thought we should come and take a look for my brother-in-law," said Sarjit.

"We're considering the Isuzu D-max pickup truck at the moment and next up we thought we should take a look at what Renault is offering. We're still undecided, but ultimately we need to make a decision by today about which to get," added Harmeet.



As for 39 year-old government servant Fazli Jusoh, this may just be the right time to make a change and replace his existing vehicle to fit his family members more comfortably.

"I'm actually considering a sport utility vehicle at the moment and I was thinking perhaps the Nissan X-Trail would be a better size for us," said Fazli who brought along his wife, two children and their grandmother.


The 2018 CarSifu Auto Show is being held at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC) at Mid Valley Megamall from today to Aug 26, 10am to 9pm daily and is showcasing automotive brands offering great deals that include Subaru, Mazda, Nissan, Renault, Kia, Peugeot, Citroen, Proton, Isuzu and Volvo.

Visitors who book their cars at the show will automatically be entered into the Book and Win contest that has Sharp Malaysia sponsoring five units of Aquos 60-inch 4K television with Easy Smart and 10 units of  the Japanese electronics brand's Plasmacluster Car Ion Generator.

Other than vehicles, the show is also featuring trendy apparels from Camel Activ as well as property developer Sunsuria promoting its iconic Sunsuria Forum freehold mixed-integrated development located in Setia Alam, Shah Alam.

Also on display at the 2018 CarSifu Auto Show is official fuel partner Petron Malaysia who are giving away Petron gift cards (each pre-loaded with RM10) to 500 lucky visitors as well as a 20% discount if customers purchase to packs or more of Petron engine oil.
