The figures are promising given that April 2023 numbers dropped heavily by 25.9 percent lower than March 2023, although that drop was expected as carmakers rushed to fulfil outstanding orders before the cut-off date for the sales tax (SST) exemption. Furthermore, the Hari Raya holidays in April 2023 also meant a much shorter working month that in turn limited vehicle registrations.
