Lepas produces Raya outfits for children

Lepas is another automotive brand poised for an official launch in the Malaysian market.

To strengthen its brand presence, Lepas has implemented several initiatives that combine culture, community, and global engineering strengths.

Initiative for Children’s Raya Outfits

One such initiative involves collaboration with internationally renowned local fashion designer Karl Ho.

This partnership has produced special Raya outfits for children from the following welfare homes:

  • Pertubuhan Baitul Asnaf Sendayan
  • Yayasan Kasih Sayang Kuala Pilah
  • Pusat Jagaan Anak Yatim Kausar Senawang

Each outfit has been specially crafted in conjunction with the upcoming Aidilfitri celebration.

Lepas: More Than Just a Mobility Brand

According to Sarah Choo, Senior Director of the Lepas brand in Malaysia, Lepas is not merely a mobility brand.

“We are building a brand that reflects the spirit of Malaysians, who uplift and support one another.”

For Karl Ho, this collaboration reinforces a designer’s responsibility to foster confidence.

“Through our partnership with Lepas, we use specialized craftsmanship not only to create Raya clothing but also to instill pride and aspiration in the younger generation.

“When a child wears something that is made specifically for them, it strengthens their confidence in realizing their potential,” he explained further.

The Malay Word as the Foundation of Brand Philosophy

This initiative reflects Lepas’s belief that mobility is not just about movement but about driving progress and elevating community dignity.

The name “Lepas” itself is derived from the Malay word meaning “to release” or “to move forward.”

This becomes the foundation of the LEAP brand philosophy, which inspires individuals to transcend boundaries and embrace the future.

Three New Models

Lepas is set to introduce three new SUV models built on the global NEV (New Energy Vehicle) platform from Chery: the L4, L6, and L8.

This platform supports various vehicle sizes and powertrains, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, and fully electric models.

Globally, the brand has already established a presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Malaysia is among the earliest right-hand drive (RHD) markets in their regional expansion strategy.

Here, Lepas aims to carve a distinct position in the SUV landscape by balancing innovation, design, and community value.

Op Selamat 22: Road accident and fatality numbers down

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) recorded a 1.41 percent decrease in road accident cases nationwide during the Op Selamat 22 period in conjunction with the Aidilfitri celebration from 8th to 13th April.

The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, stated that the number of accident cases decreased by 8,862 cases compared to 8,989 cases last year.

“He also mentioned that fatal accident cases decreased by 10 percent with 105 cases compared to 117 cases last year, while the number of deaths also saw a six percent reduction with 119 deaths compared to 126 deaths the previous year,” he said.

Razarudin mentioned that motorcyclists and pillion riders still had the highest number of fatalities, with 79 deaths compared to 80 deaths recorded last year.

“According to studies, accidents occurred due to failure to control the vehicle leading to skidding due to fatigue and drowsiness, as well as not maintaining a safe driving distance between vehicles.

“I believe that the decrease in accident cases is a positive impact resulting from public awareness of the importance of road safety and prudent driving practices,” he added.

Furthermore, Razarudin stated that the Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (JSPT) recorded an increase in the number of summonses issued during Op Selamat 22, with a total of 114,467 summonses compared to 29,216 summonses issued during the previous Op Selamat, marking an increase of 85,251 summonses.

He also mentioned that the statistics of house break-in cases during this Op Selamat recorded 189 cases compared to 272 cases last year.
