SHAH ALAM: Edaran Otomobil Nasional (EON) Bhd has set a goal to sell more than 12,000 vehicles this year. Chief executive officer Akkbar Danial revealed the company has already sold around 6,000 units across various models. EON serves as the official distributor for Proton and also handles global brands Audi, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen through subsidiaries. “Competition in the market has increased with more car brands being sold in Malaysia, so it’s now more challenging,” Akkbar said. “That’s why I believe EON will try to find its unique edge or differentiation in the automotive industry to ensure we remain relevant in the market and continue to be one of the top choices for customers,” he added. He shared these insights after launching the EON & Sahabat Autofest 2025 in Shah Alam today. The company remains optimistic about hitting its sales target through strategic initiatives. The EON & Sahabat Autofest 2025 runs from today until August 10 at EON Glenmarie and nationwide branches. Akkbar highlighted that the event will feature eight unique experience zones. Visitors can explore multi-brand vehicles, financial solutions, after-sales services, and family-friendly activities. “Last year, we received between 6,000 and 7,000 visitors for this event,” he said. “We are targeting around 10,000 visitors this year.” The company also anticipates 888 bookings or sales during the three-day event. EON also announced a partnership with Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd. The collaboration introduces the Muamalat EON Visa Infinite-i and Muamalat EON Visa Platinum-i co-branded credit cards. Akkbar noted that cardholders will enjoy exclusive cashback on overseas and contactless transactions. Additional perks include warm alerts, reward points, and comprehensive Takaful protection. - Bernama

THE United States has doubled its reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $50 million over allegations of drug trafficking and links to criminal groups, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Thursday. In a video posted to X, Bondi accused Maduro of collaborating with prominent criminal groups such as Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa Cartel. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said on Telegram that the announcement was “the most ridiculous smokescreen ever seen.” “While we’re debunking the terrorist plots orchestrated from her country, this woman is coming out with a media circus to please the defeated far-right in Venezuela,“ Gil said. “The dignity of our homeland is not for sale. We repudiate this crude political propaganda operation,“ he added. The Venezuelan information ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The reward was first set at $15 million in 2020, when U.S. prosecutors charged Maduro with drug trafficking. It was increased to $25 million in January 2025, as Maduro was sworn in for a third term, alongside new sanctions on top officials. In February, the U.S. State Department formally designated the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, alongside MS-13 and several Mexican cartels. In July, it also designated Cartel de Los Soles as a global terrorist organization. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement late on Thursday that Maduro has been a leader of Cartel de los Soles for over a decade, which is responsible for trafficking drugs into the United States. - Reuters

TOKYO : The U.S. government on Thursday promised to amend a presidential executive order to remove overlapping tariffs on Japanese goods, Tokyo’s trade negotiator said, after talks in Washington to fix what he called a “regrettable” error. In those discussions in Washington, Ryosei Akazawa urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to ensure that an earlier agreed 15% levy on Japanese imports was not also stacked on goods that were already subject to higher tariffs. They explained they would amend the presidential order and in doing so also refund any portion of the duties collected since Aug 7, when President Donald Trump issued his tariff order, Akazawa said. Lutnick and Bessent said Trump would at the same time lower auto tariffs to 15% from 27.5%, in line with the agreement on trade reached by the two countries last month. The U.S. Treasury and Commerce Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the meetings with Akazawa. Much of the agreement Akazawa reached during his previous visit to Washington in July, when he met Trump, was never put into a signed document, creating confusion in Tokyo and concern that some Japanese companies could face far higher tariffs than anticipated. Japan “will continue to maintain close communication with the U.S. side at various levels,“ the government said in a statement, before Akazawa spoke. - Reuters
