Meanwhile, the outgoing MD and CEO, Mr. Yoshimura, will return to his native Japan, as he has undertaken a new role in Honda’s head office in Tokyo. During his three-year tenure, Yoshimura played a key role in maintaining Honda Malaysia's leading position in the non-national passenger vehicle segment for 11 consecutive years and successfully navigated the company through a challenging post-pandemic environment.
