Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah menzahirkan penghargaan kepada Goodyear Malaysia atas sumbangannya kepada ekonomi dan sektor automotif Selangor dan negara ini sejak 52 tahun lalu.
Throughout 16,000km and 8,400km of road expeditions across desert, snow and cobbled roads, Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and his co-driver Datuk Richard Curtis did not encounter a single puncture with the Goodyear tyres.
The government, through initiatives led by the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, has mobilised a specialised team to help 550 employees affected by Goodyear's Shah Alam factory shutdown.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari (Gombak-PH) has accused Bersatu MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (Machang-PN) of twisting facts related to the impending closure of Goodyear Malaysia’s manufacturing plant in Shah Alam.
Goodyear Malaysia will be closing its 52-year-old manufacturing plant in Shah Alam effective June 30, which is expected to be completed by year end, affecting 550 jobs.
