In the news this week, we discuss the difficulties in renewing your driving license and road tax online, due to the lockdown and moratorium. We also discuss the newly-launched all-electric BMW iX and some fantastic news about the EV landscape in Malaysia.

As part of our Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations, we discuss two highly relevant cars to Malaysia, as Daniel takes us around the heralded Satria GTi, its lore and recent surge in value, before Ariff discusses the Proton Satria Neo and why it was always loved in spite of its major flaws.
