Therefore, MAA and leading auto companies have indicated that having the motor show in 2018 is opportune to re-ignite consumers’ sentiments, define brand presence, and refuel the industry.”

She also added “The recent completion in the construction of Malaysia’s largest and state-of-the-art exhibition centre with the opening of the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, was also an impetus for the return of KLIMS in 2018.
