Perodua pledge 67 vans to Sukom

18/10/1997

PERODUA Sales joined the Sukom Ninety Eight family on Thursday with a
pledge to provide 67 Rusa vans for the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth
Games.
Perodua have delivered 10 vans to Sukom and will hand in another 10 at
the end of the year, the rest will be handed over next year.
"Perodua have managed to reduce the cost of running the Games with their
pledge of 67 vans which will be used to ferry athletes and goods," said
Sukom chief operating officer Lt Jen (R) Datuk Manap Ibrahim at the
Perodua plant in Sungai Choh, Serendah.
Perodua sales executive chairman Datuk Rahman Omar signed for Perodua
and the signing was witnessed by Sukom's director of human resources, Mej
Jen (R) Datuk Kadir Nordin.
"Right now Sukom's priority is to ensure that when the Games begin, the
traffic in Kuala Lumpur will be under control," said Manap.
"If the fans get stuck in the traffic jams for hours, many would think
twice of going to the venues and would rather stay at home and watch the
Games on television.
"We do not want this to happen."
