The Senior Minister (International and Trade) said this in Parliament during his winding-up speech on the 12th Malaysian Plan (12MP) on Tuesday, adding that this involved road tax exemptions, incentives via income tax returns, and income tax relief for the installation of EV facilities.

Azmin added that efforts to encourage the use of EVs among Malaysians is also in line with the government's efforts to attract high-value investments and to contribute towards the government's move to make Malaysia a carbon-neutral country by 2050.
