Hello my name is Ahmad from Taiwan, I live here in Kuala Lumpur for good with my local wife and kids.
Do you know the Mercedes MB140D 2.9 Diesel Engine for 14 passengers???
My friends and some other drivers are talking about that your company had already bought the modul of this van but we all are wondering when your company will have it ready to sell because we can’t wait to buy it and I’m talking about the whole Malaysia is waiting for you now.
We all are tour drivers, we drive tourist to every where but we also have some authority problems from the “J.P.J” because we do not have permit to carry the passengers and if we are going to buy the van from you, it’s better that your company can issue such permit for us and the permit must be 12 Passengers for the van.
We all know that your company started the “NAZA TAXI” and you are such a huge company so we don’t think that you might have a problem on applying for the permit.
Any way we will be waiting for your respond and please do.
Thank You.
