PETALING JAYA: Sales of cars have not been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said this was because industry players had an existing online presence, which enabled them to continue serving the public during the movement control order.

"Their efforts to go online also paid off handsomely as online vehicle ownership transfers account for an average of RM40mil each year," he said in his speech at FMCCAM's virtual 43rd annual general meeting on Saturday . Under the online vehicle ownership transfer systems, the Temporary Ownership Transfer System and its eSerahan Tukar Milik extension allow vehicle owners to conduct ownership transfers without visiting the Road Transport Department offices.

FMCCAM president Datuk Khor Chong Boon said despite most business sectors being affected, car sales had grown 20% as 347, 000 online ownership transfers took place between January and May this year.
