Smart will be sold in Malaysia
Malaysian trade secretary Rafidah Aziz approved the manufacturer's import license while visiting the company's headquarters here in early October and his country will be the first in Southeast Asia to import the DaimlerChrysler subsidiary's vehicles.
Initially the license will only apply to the Smart ForTwo, but it is understood there will be a push to widen the license to Smart's entire product range as soon as possible.
