Description
Ford operations in Malaysia
Ford established its presence in then Malaya, in 1926 and in four years began assembly operations in Singapore. In 1972 the Ford Motor Company of Malaya was incorporated.
In 1981, in response to Malaysia's New Economic Policy a 49% stake was sold to Pernas Sime Darby. With a required reduction in equity to 30% in 1984, Ford withdrew operational involvement. Direct participation recommenced in 1996, and in 2000 Ford became a 49% shareholder in Ford Malaysia.
The Ford name has always been held in high regard by Malaysians. Whether the passenger cars of the 70's, and 80's or the more current Ranger pickups, and Escape and Everest SUVs, Ford has retained a reputation for building high quality, safe and good performing vehicles.
