CARSOME unveils official FAM fleet
PETALING JAYA : CARSOME, the Football Association of Malaysia's official automotive partner, handed over 15 vehicles decked in both their liveries in support of the association's operational and logistical needs.
CARSOME Group co-founder and CEO Eric Cheng said the 15-vehicle fleet includes the Proton X90, Proton X70, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Serena, BMW 3 Series, Volvo XC40, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Toyota Alphard.
These vehicles will serve the men's and women's national teams, as well as FAM's management.
Cheng said the company's ongoing collaboration with FAM, via the CARSOME Academy, is part of a broader effort to support long-term personal and professional development for players and staff.
'The handover of these vehicles marks an important step in our partnership with FAM, providing the national teams with the mobility and support they need throughout the football calendar.
'As part of our commitment, we also want to help players, both men and women, prepare for life beyond the pitch,' he said in his speech before handing over the vehicles.
Also present were FAM president Joehari Ayub, National Sports Council director-general Jefri Ngadirin and Malaysian football legend Zainal Abidin Hassan.
Cheng said the car e-commerce platform is opening up education and career opportunities in the automotive industry, which contributes 5% or RM82 billion to Malaysia's GDP and supports over 700,000 jobs across the country.
'We are working with FAM to determine the courses and assistance required and hope this effort creates meaningful pathways for the football community to grow within a thriving sector.'
Separately, Joehari expressed hope that FAM's two-year partnership with CARSOME would lead to greater success for the national team.
He said the official collaboration between FAM and CARSOME began on March 25, the same day the national team secured a victory over Nepal in the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers in Johor.
'This marks a positive start, and I hope that the partnership between FAM and CARSOME will continue to bring more success to Malaysian football in the years ahead.'

Free haircuts, oil change service draw crowds at Madani event
Workers at a barber shop in Muar, Johor, were kept busy providing free haircuts for a Madani community event today. (Bernama pic) MUAR : Free haircuts and oil change services were among the attractions that drew the crowd at a Bakti Komuniti Madani event here, held ahead of a month-long national day campaign to be launched tomorrow. Barber-shop owner Hilmi Hassan, 47, from Parit Jawa, said he and his four workers were very busy as many people came for haircuts from 10am. 'By 12.15pm, we had already served over 60 people of different ages. We thought we would wrap up at noon, but had to extend the time because many were still waiting,' he said. Kampung Simpang Baba village chief Hussin Limat, 65, said the long wait was worth it, as the free haircut saved money and brought people together. Secondary school student Muizzudin Nordin, 15, said he arrived as early as 8am after learning about the free haircut service. 'A haircut at a regular barber shop would cost RM10 to RM20, so I didn't want to miss the chance,' he said. All 60 bottles of engine oil allocated by GiatMara for its free oil change service were used up within two hours, said the agency's Bakri manager, Affandi Abdul Rahim. He said the service was carried out by eight trainees and attracted visitors from across Muar. The community event also featured an e-sports tournament, asam pedas cooking competition, traditional games and lucky draws.
