The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will take strict action against vehicle repossessors who act like thugs and threaten users on the highway, following a recent viral incident involving a repossession agent on the North-South Expressway near the Pedas-Linggi Side Stop.
According to an official statement from the KPDN Enforcement Division, the agency has identified the agent involved after collaborating with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and enforcement action has been taken.
The KPDN said the ministry will revoke the EPS permit in question for violating the existing code of ethics and regulations and that each permit holder must adhere to strict guidelines, including not using force when carrying out the repossession process.
“According to data, a total of 3,869 valid EPS permit holders have been registered nationwide through the MyEPS system and they are subject to strict regulations set out in accordance with the Hire Purchase Act 1967 (Act 212),” said the KPDN.
According to the KPDN, among the conditions that must be complied with include not being allowed to enter the premises without permission or without a court order, being required to show the tenant’s identification card and related documents, giving the tenant a reasonable time to remove personal belongings, taking photographic documentation of the vehicle’s condition and listing the inventory, and being required to file a police report within 24 hours after the vehicle is towed.
“Any form of violence or intimidation during the vehicle towing process is a serious violation and can result in the permit being withdrawn and legal action being taken,” he said.
In addition, the KPDN said that between January 1, 2022 and June 25, 2025, the KPDN has conducted 762 inspections of repossession agents with four case actions recorded under Act 212 and a total of 27 complaints received during that period.
According to the KPDN, although the number of cases is not high, preventive approaches are always being intensified, including through consumer awareness campaigns to better understand their rights when dealing with car towing agents.
“We also encourage the public to channel information through the KITA GEMPUR initiative, including through channels such as WhatsApp (019-848 8000), the e-complaint portal (eaduan.kpdn.gov.my), the call centre (1-800-886-800) or the KPDN Ez ADU application,” the ministry said.
KPDN stressed that vehicle towing agents who fail to comply with permit conditions and work ethics may be subject to permit cancellation and prosecution, in accordance with the provisions of the law in force.
Castrol, a global leader in lubricants and innovation, has launched the Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE SUPERBIKE 10W-50, a new advanced fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil designed for riders who demand the best from their machines.
Formulated with insights from the racetrack and engineered for everyday use, this latest addition to the Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE range delivers powerful acceleration, long-lasting protection, and a smoother ride – even under the toughest riding conditions. Central to its performance is Castrol’s unique 5-in-1 racing ester formula, designed to deliver:
Excellent acceleration – Esters reduce metal-to-metal friction, enabling quicker power delivery and helping riders gain an edge, with bikes travelling up to 8 meters ahead of those using competitor oils*.
Enhanced protection – Provides over 50% better wear protection** than is required by standard API SN limits, extending engine life even under high-performance stress.
Enduring performance – Maintains performance and oil stability across long distances, including 3,000 km of continuous riding*.
Smooth riding – Rated JASO MA2, the highest clutch performance rating, supporting responsive gear shifts and reduced slippage.
Engine cooling – Maintains clean internal engine conditions and viscosity consistency, reducing harmful deposits and heat buildup.
*Based on data modelled from results of extensive testing using a Honda CBR300 engine over a 30-second full-throttle acceleration. Actual performance may vary by engine type, conditions, and other external factors.
** Based on testing in the Sequence IVA (ASTM D6891) industry standard wear test.
Performance riders can feel
Tailored for high-performance superbikes, Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE SUPERBIKE 10W-50 is engineered to unleash the full potential of your motorcycle. In extensive testing, riders experienced faster acceleration, smoother clutch engagement, and quieter gear shifts. The oil retained peak performance even after thousands of kilometres, providing confidence and reliability for both daily riders and racing enthusiasts.
Product trials conducted with over 2,000 km of convoy riding showed an impressive rider satisfaction score of 85 out of 100 – with every participant saying they would recommend it.
“I could immediately feel the difference – the engine ran quieter, the temperature remained stable even during long rides, and the overall performance remained smooth without any disruption. The throttle response was sharp and powerful, especially during aggressive gear shifts – truly impressive,” said Veteran Malaysian racer Wazi Abdul Hamid, who also tested the product.
“At Castrol, our mission is to help riders push boundaries without compromising on engine protection,” said Joshua Tan, Marketing Director, Castrol Malaysia & Singapore.
“With the new Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE SUPERBIKE 10W-50, we’re proud to deliver a product that not only performs but enhances the overall riding experience.”
Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE SUPERBIKE 10W-50 is now available at all authorized Castrol motorcycle workshops and online through official platforms.
The Ministry of Transport (MOT) will allocate RM3.5 million in initiatives to support the second phase of the MyLesen (B2) program, involving an additional 10,000 participants nationwide this year.
Its minister, Anthony Loke, said that in the first six months of this year, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) had processed applications for 15,000 participants in the MyLesen (B2) program.
“For the second half of the year, we will add another 10,000 participants nationwide, involving an allocation of RM3.5 million. The cost per participant is RM350,” he said.
The MyLesen program is a government initiative through JPJ and strategic partners, focusing on helping low-income B40 groups, including students, obtain a legal, accessible, and affordable Class B2 motorcycle license.
Loke said this year, the ministry is introducing a new approach targeting youth and students as one of the main beneficiary groups.
He said this additional quota would not only provide more opportunities for youth and students to obtain a legal license but also help reduce cases of unlicensed riders, which is one of the main causes of road accidents.
The Seremban MP also expressed concern over reports of many students riding motorcycles to school without a license.
“I hope that, in addition to the State Education Department, schools can also help ensure that every student who rides a motorcycle to school has a valid license,” he said.
Boon Siew Honda (BSH) also announced the arrival of the 2025 Honda Transalp 750.
The Transalp 750 is Honda’s midrange adventure model, fill the spots between the CRF250L/CRF250 Rally, NX500, and the CRF1100 Africa Twin. Although it is purpose-built for adventure and exploration, the Transalp does well on the road, as well.
Highlights
755cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, with 270° crankshaft engine, tuned for smooth low-down and midrange torque. (It is shared with the CB750/Hornet 750.)
The engine produces 90.5 hp (67.5 kW) at 9,500 RPM and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 RPM.

Boon Siew Honda (BSH) has just announced the arrival of the 2025 Honda CB750 in Malaysia.
The Honda CB750 (also known as the Hornet 750) is a middleweight naked bike, which could also be termed as a “standard” motorcycle these days. However, after reviewing the previous year’s model, we concurred that it is more of a streetfighter due to its rip-roaring engine performance and quick steering without sacrificing everyday comforts.
The 2025 update includes a redesign to bring its streetfighter character out overtly, plus several new components such as a quickshifter (optional), headlights, and suspension.
Highlights
755cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, with 270° crankshaft engine, tuned for smooth low-down and midrange torque. (It is shared with the Transalp 750.)
The engine produces 90.5 hp (67.5 kW) at 9,500 RPM and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 RPM.
Assist and slipper clutch, with an optional quicksifter.
New Showa SFF-BP forks and a Pro-Link rear monoshock.
Dual front disc brakes and radial-mounted four-piston brake calipers up front.
Ride-by-wire throttle allows for riding modes: SPORT, STANDARD, RAIN, and USER.
USER mode allows the rider to personalise levels of Engine Power (EP), Engine Braking (EB), and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with integrated Wheelie Control.
5-inch full-colour TFT display which provides sharp and easily readable data.
The display also features Honda RoadSync which connects to the rider’s smartphone app for weather display and forecast, navigation, music streaming, calls, and message notifications.
New dual LED projector headlight (like that on the bigger CB1000) which doubles the brightness.
New styling with wing-inspired fuel tank, aggressive front, and clean tail for a sharper streetfighter look.
The enhanced fuel tank’s sculpted lines are inspired by the wings of a hornet’s, while the compact tail section and sharply angled nose complete the aggressive silhouette.
Mr. Kunitomo Asano, CEO and Managing Director of Boon Siew Honda said, ” The CB750 has always stood out as a bold streetfighter design. For 2025, we’ve taken it a step further by enhanced design, sharper handling, and rider-focused technology to create a machine that feels as aggressive as it looks.”
The 2025 Honda CB750 comes in two striking colour options: Matte Pearl Glare White and Glint Wave Blue Metallic. Available at all Honda Big Wing dealers in Malaysia, it is priced from RM49,999.

AEON Credit has introduced Malaysia’s first credit card designed exclusively for bikers, the AEON Biker Visa Card.
Unlike conventional credit cards, this one offers tailored benefits that cater to the real needs of motorcycle riders, from savings on servicing and spare parts to insurance and lifestyle rewards.
For too long, bikers have had to rely on generic financial products that don’t match the unique cost of maintaining a motorcycle — where replacing just one tire can cost more than a full set for a car. With this card, AEON Credit is putting riders back in the spotlight, recognizing the role bikers play in keeping Malaysia moving.
There was a time when we walked into a café with our heads held high as bikers, enjoying special privileges and discounts simply because we ride.
The AEON Biker Visa Card isn’t just a payment tool. It’s a statement of identity, restoring the sense of pride and privilege that comes with life on two wheels.
Types of AEON Biker Visa Card
There are two variants of the AEON Biker Visa Card, each extensively researched and tailored to suit different motorcycling needs:
AEON Biker Infinite Visa Card: Perfect for those who frequently travel abroad, whether crossing borders on a motorcycle, or flying overseas. This premium card offers travel-focused benefits and exclusive privileges.
AEON Biker Visa Gold Card: Ideal for riders who commute daily, with everyday rewards tailored to the needs of local riders.
Before diving into the full list of features and benefits, let’s take a closer look at what the AEON Biker Visa Card has to offer.
Ride Rewards That Matter
The cost of motorcycling has surged over the past five years, from spare parts and servicing to safety gear and accessories. A snapped CVT belt on a scooter alone can cost around RM400. Add to that the rising prices of lubricants, tires, and quality riding gear like helmets, jackets, gloves, and footwear, and it’s clear that being a responsible rider isn’t cheap.
That’s why the AEON Biker Visa Card rewards you for spending on what matters most to bikers:
Up to 8% cashback on motorcycle spare parts, accessories, merchandise, and service. (8% for Biker Infinite, 5% for Biker Gold.)
2% cashback for petrol (capped at RM20 for Biker Infinite, RM15 for Biker Gold per month).
2% cashback for insurance.
0.5% cashback for selected retail transactions.

Travel Rewards
For riders who frequently travel abroad, the AEON Biker Visa Infinite offers exclusive perks to elevate your journeys. In addition to earning 8% cashback on overseas spending, cardholders enjoy premium travel privileges such as:
8x complimentary access to Plaza Premium Lounge (includes 1 guest per visit).
Access to Visa Concierge Services and a curated selection of luxury hotel partners via the Visa platform.
Wherever the road or skies take you, the Biker Visa Infinite ensures your travel experience is seamless and rewarding.
Events & Communities
There’s nothing quite like the bond between bikers, built through shared passion, stories, and the open road. AEON Biker Visa Cardholders are invited to join exclusive events that celebrate this camaraderie:
Invitations to motorcycle rallies and group rides, with VIP access for Biker Infinite cardholders.
Complimentary or discounted entry to major bike shows and gatherings in Malaysia.
Special privileges at selected motorcycle dealerships and merchandise outlets.
Insurance Rewards
Accidents often happen when we least expect them and as bikers, we’ve either faced emergencies ourselves or witnessed fellow riders struggle without proper insurance coverage. Unfortunately, many still carry the “it-won’t-happen-to-me” mindset… until it does.
The AEON Biker Visa Card is designed to provide peace of mind , offering complimentary insurance coverage that helps protect you on every ride, whether on Malaysian roads or beyond.
This protection is especially critical for riders crossing borders. For example, if you ride into Thailand and are involved in an accident, you could be held financially liable on the spot, or even barred from leaving the country until the settlement is made. Having proper travel and medical protection isn’t just smart, it’s essential.
What’s more, many forget that travel insurance also covers local travel within Malaysia, not just international trips.
With the AEON Biker Visa Card, you’re automatically covered with:
Up to RM500,000 complimentary coverage (Biker Infinite).
Up to RM4,000 coverage (Biker Gold).
Coverage includes:
24-hour personal accident insurance.
Travel accident protection (Biker Infinite only).
Travel delay coverage (Biker Infinite only).
Ambulance fees.
Wherever you ride, ride with confidence, backed by protection that travels with you.

Other Rewards & Financial Flexibility
Beyond cashback and lifestyle benefits, the AEON Biker Visa Card also gives you powerful financial tools that go far beyond typical “buy now, pay later” services.
While 0% instalment plans are commonly available on certain online shopping platforms, the AEON Biker Visa Card stands out by providing three additional features:
Balance Transfer
Transfer outstanding balances from other credit cards to consolidate your payments into one manageable monthly plan. This is something you can’t do with standard online shopping credit.
Ready Cash
Access cash when you need it most, whether you’re travelling to places that only accept physical currency or when QR payment options are unavailable. In contrast, online shopping credit is limited to platform-specific use and does not allow cash withdrawals.
Flexi Payment Plan
Enjoy the freedom to pay your bill at your own pace, whether it’s the minimum amount or more. Unlike fixed-repayment buy now, pay later services, you are not restricted to rigid terms.
With the AEON Biker Visa Card, you don’t just earn rewards, you gain real financial flexibility built for riders who value control, convenience, and peace of mind.
AEON Biker Visa Credit Card Launch Campaign
To celebrate the launch of the AEON Biker Visa Card, new cardholders will receive a complimentary set of Baseus W04 Wireless Earbuds, perfect for life on the move.
Here’s how to qualify:
1. Apply and get approved for the AEON Biker Visa Card.
2. Activate your card.
3. Spend a minimum of RM500 in cumulative retail transactions within the campaign period.
Campaign period: 17 June to 16 September 2025
Conclusion
So, is the AEON Biker Visa Card worth having? Absolutely.
From cashback on essentials and lifestyle rewards to insurance protection and exclusive events, the benefits are designed to support the real needs of bikers both on and off the road.
It is more than just a credit card. It’s your companion on every journey.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has recalled several Yamaha models, namely the MT-09, Tracer 9 GT, and Ténéré 700.
This recall campaign has been published on the Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) website. The recall for the MT-09 and Tracer 9 GT was announced on July 7, 2025, while the recall for the Ténéré 700 was published on April 29, 2025.
JPJ, as the statutory body overseeing transportation, made this announcement to ensure the safety of vehicle owners and will monitor the progress of these recall campaigns.
Number of units affected by model
MT-09 (November 2021 to February 2025 production): 1,649.
Tracer 9 GT (November 2021 to February 2025 production): 1,369.
Ténéré 700 (2023 to 2024 production): 149.
For the MT-09 and Tracer 9 GT models, it was found that their Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) were not functioning properly. Both models share the same CP3 engine, hence they have the same issue. The service center at HLYM headquarters and official Yamaha Big Bike dealers will replace the TPS and reprogram the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
As for the Ténéré 700, there is an issue with the clutch operation. The service center at HLYM headquarters and official Yamaha Big Bike dealers will replace the faulty units with new clutch kits.
HLYM has also published the frame numbers (chassis numbers) of the affected units. They will also send out notices to the involved owners and advise them to schedule an appointment for repairs—either at the HLYM headquarters service center in Sungai Buloh or at authorized Yamaha Big Bike dealerships nearest to them.

A Grab rider who changed lanes suddenly caused a two-vehicle collision on Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), as seen in a recent viral video.
Ampang Jaya District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail, stated that police investigations revealed the incident occurred at 2:47 PM last Tuesday near a supermarket.
He said preliminary investigations found that all vehicles involved were traveling from Pandan Jaya toward Cheras.
“Upon reaching the location, the motorcyclist suddenly switched lanes from the middle lane to the left lane to turn into a junction on the left side of the road.
“This action caused the driver of a Honda Civic to brake abruptly to avoid a collision but ended up hitting the rear of a Perodua Ativa in front,” he said in a statement today.
Mohd Azam added that all vehicles involved only sustained damage, with no injuries reported.
“Police advise the public to avoid making rash decisions while driving and to always exercise caution and obey traffic laws to prevent accidents.
“The case is being investigated under Rule 6(1) of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 (LN 166/59),” he said.”

The livery, dubbed ‘CyberRoar,’ displays the “fierce spirit of the Tiger” prominently. A roaring tiger’s head is surrounded by vivid orange stripes, on top of a vibrant magenta colour scheme.

Honda racing motorcycles have adorned several famous liveries in the past, but there is one which is no less iconic: The Castrol colours. As such, the tradition continues with Castrol as the title sponsor of a Honda factory team. It extends to Malaysia as Castrol and Honda partner up for the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, besides extending their support to the Honda HRC Castrol Factory Team in MotoGP.
Castrol and Honda
Before going further, we are sure old-timer World Superbike fans fondly remember the Castrol liveried Honda RVF750 (RC45) battling in the World Superbike Championship in the mid-90s. John Kocinski then delivered a world title on that bike in 1997.
Colin Edwards would follow that feat with two titles, in 2000 and 2002, on the Castrol-liveried Honda VTR1000 SP1 (RC51). Those were arguably the Golden Age of Superbike racing.
Back to the present day
Coming back to the present day, Castrol and Boon Siew Honda Malaysia has collaborated to be the title sponsor of the CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING team, competing in the 2025 PETRONAS MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship.
Over to the pinnacle of motorcycle road racing, Castrol and Honda are partners for the Honda HRC Castrol factory team.
From the Press Release
Castrol, a global leader in advanced lubricant technology, kicks off 2025 with high-impact developments in its motorcycle racing portfolio: a new rider lineup for the CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING team in the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship and an exciting global collaboration with the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team.
These parallel initiatives reinforce Castrol’s commitment to innovation, performance, and supporting talent on both local and international tracks.
Castrol will serve as the main sponsor and technical partner of the Honda HRC Factory MotoGP Team starting from the 2025 MotoGP season. Under this collaboration, Castrol will supply lubricants, fuels, and technical support, marking a significant milestone in the long-standing relationship between the two motorsport powerhouses.
The newly named Honda HRC Castrol team made its on-track debut at the MotoGP pre-season test at Sepang International Circuit on 5 February 2025, with the season having officially kicked off on 2 March in Buriram, Thailand.
“Castrol has a long history of using motorsport to showcase its technical capabilities and co- engineer new technologies. This collaboration is a great opportunity to connect even more closely with motorcycle racing fans and bike enthusiasts worldwide,” said Sandeep Sangwan, Chief Marketing Officer, Castrol.
“HRC and Castrol share the same vision and drive. We’ve had great success together in the past, and this renewed partnership is a natural fit,” added Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation.
Closer to home, CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING is proud to unveil its new rider lineup ahead of the 2025 Petronas MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, which kicks off on 19 and 20 April at Sepang (North) International Circuit, Selangor.
The team welcomes two new additions—Muhammad Haziq Hakimy Kamaruddin and Aisy Izz Hafiy Hairul Hafiz—who join returning rider Aqeel Danish Zaiermanhady to compete in the fiercely contested CP125 category.
Both Haziq Hakimy and Aisy bring proven credentials from the Honda One Make Challenge, with Hakimy placing third in 2022 and Aisy finishing runner-up in 2021. Their arrival signals a refreshed and ambitious push for podium finishes this season, following Md Haziq Hamdan’s third-place success in the ninth round of the 2024 season.
“We are optimistic about the new lineup this season and believe that all three riders can handle the job well and be main competitors for podium finishes,” said Shahrol Yuzy Ahmad Zaini, Team Manager of CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING. “Their recent training performances were impressive, and we’re confident this team will deliver exciting results throughout the season,” he added.
Keow Mei-Shan, Marketing Director of Castrol Malaysia & Singapore, added, “The new lineup reflects our commitment to nurturing young talents while continuing to strive for success on the track. We are thrilled to have Aqeel, Haziq Hakimy, and Aisy representing CASTROL POWER1 HONDA YUZY RACING. Their passion for racing and potential align with everything Castrol stands for.”
From the premier stage of MotoGP to the national circuits of Malaysia, Castrol POWER1 continues to be the driving force behind racing excellence—delivering superior engine protection, optimized performance, and confidence on every ride.
With its newly forged global partnership with Honda HRC and an energized domestic racing team, Castrol is poised to make 2025 a landmark year in motorcycle motorsports.
