UMW Toyota has announced that all Authorised Toyota and Lexus Dealers will temporarily cease its usual day-to-day operations but remain contactable to all customers during the “Movement Control Order” period. In light of the recent announcement on the extension from 1st April to 14th April 2020 of the Movement Control Order (MCO) by the Government, all Authorised Toyota and Lexus Dealers will remain closed.
Mr. Ravindran K, President, said “The safety of our employees, our stakeholders and all of our Customers is paramount to us. Based on direction from the government, despite the shutdown of our operations, we will continue to be available to our customers for any assistance they may require with regard to their Toyota and Lexus vehicles.”
Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s manufacturing operations will also be suspended on 18 March onwards. At the moment, there are no plan for any specific manufacturing suspension outside Malaysia, resulting from the situation in Malaysia.

Prior to the Government’s announcement, the Championship had been scheduled to proceed as a closed-event to the public.
“We are closely monitoring the situation and for the protection and safety of our staff and customers kept in mind, we will consider and make decisions guided by the direction from the Government,” said Akio Takeyama, Deputy Chairman.
However, the company reiterated that it continues to be contactable to all customers for any emergencies or enquiries during this period on its existing helplines as well as five additional helplines created for this period of time.
