Leading tyre manufacturer Continental has recently announced its decision to discontinue tyre manufacturing operations at its Alor Setar, Kedah facility by year's end. Currently, operations at its Petaling Jaya, Selangor production site remain unaffected.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The closure of the facility, which now manufactures passenger car, light truck and motorcycle tyres for the Asia-Pacific region, will affect 950 employment.
Following the announcement, Kedah MB Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor clarified that the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/04/continental-set-to-discontinue-alor-setar-tyre-production-by-years-end" target="_blank">closure of Continental's Alor Setar facility was a purely business-driven decision</a>, dismissing a TikTok post that had linked the shutdown to political motives related to him.

The closing of Continental's Alor Setar factory was solely business-driven, not political, says Kedah MB.

Prolintas has expanded debit and credit card payment options to four more highways: LKSA, SILK, DASH, and SUKE.

Clearly, for residents of areas lacking proper facilities, public transport is often not a viable choice.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dr. Law proposes that enhancing public transportation is crucial to solving this issue, positioning it as a primary choice rather than a secondary option. His recommendations include extending bus, MRT, and LRT services to more areas, thereby offering greater accessibility and reducing dependence on personal vehicles. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He further emphasized that we need better roads, fewer traffic jams, and more people sharing rides to cut down on traffic.
