Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) says the vehicles the company manufactures strictly adhere to safety requirements and conform to safety standards.

"Perodua wishes to assure our customers that all our vehicles adhere to safety requirements and conform to the safety ratings awarded by the New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (Asean NCAP)," said Perodua president and chief executive officer Aminar Rashid Salleh.

In a statement today, he said Perodua did not compromise on the safety and well-being of its customers and their loved ones.

"The public are welcome to our sales showrooms and speak with our authorised sales advisers to know and understand more about our produts' safety features," he added.

It was reported that Asean NCAP had received reports from customers over the removal of a safety specification in a previously tested vehicle.

The matter concerns the top tether fitment, vital in improving the level of child protection inside the vehicle.
