Viva Explores Peninsular Malaysia

Perodua Viva

In conjunction with the launch of Perodua ViVA, Perodua organised a ViVA motorcade to the northern, southern and the east-coast region to promote and create awareness of its latest model.

The ViVA motorcade was flagged-off by PSSB chairman, Encik Hafiz Syed Abu bakar at the PSSB Glenmarie. Outlets were visited and the ViVA line-ups were paraded at the venue. Some of our motorcade members did some customer surveys at each stop and the feedbacks were very encouraging. We also gave out freebies such as balloons, notepad, mineral water, t-shirt and Perodua’s bags as a token of appreciation to the public.

Perodua Viva Elite : a new look for the Viva

Perodua Viva

Perodua launched the new Perodua ViVA Elite today, aimed at offering the market a variant with a more stylish image compared to the original ViVA. It is an aesthetic modification in the style of the Myvi SE, and at the same time they’ve revamped the model line-up a little.

The ViVA was first introduced with 660cc, 850cc, 1,000cc and 1,000cc premium variants. Now it has restructured the model lineup, offering the 660 BX MT, 660 EX MT, 850 MT, 1.0 AT, 1.0 ELITE MT, 1.0 ELITE AT, and the 1.0 ELITE EZi. That’s three different variants for the new ViVA ELITE.

Externally, the ViVA Elite has its own front bumper with integrated foglamps, front grille and its own engine hood design. On the side you’ll see chrome door handles, side skirts, and 14 inch 12-spoke alloy wheels. On the back you’ll see a new rear bumper with a honeycomb grille design, and the 1.0 ELITE EZi model (note, this is different from the ELITE AT) gets an additional rear spoiler. The windows of the ViVA Elite also feature a UV protection coating that is said to reject 91% of UV rays.

On the inside you get a new 1-DIN head unit with MP3 and WMA support, an underside tray under the passenger seat, seat backpockets, a new seat fabric design, and fabric trim on the door panels. All ViVA ELITE models will get seat height adjusters for the driver’s seat, and electrically adjustable side mirrors. On the ELITE EZi, these side mirrors are also electrically retractable and have integrated turn signals.

Proton Therapy

It was such a pleasure to finally read an article ("The Cutting Edge: Killing Cancer with Protons," July/ August 2007) in a national publication dealing with proton treatment for cancer. It was very informative. I had cancer and decided on this treatment over all the other choices. Five years have now passed with no sign of cancer. The treatments were a walk in the park compared to all the other choices available.

I had my treatments at Loma Linda University Medical Hospital in California. I do not understand why this article appeared to avoid mentioning Loma Linda. Dr. Thornton states, "Now there are five centers in the United States." He mentions his own center, Anderson Medical Center and University of Florida. There is an omission of naming the additional two centers, why?. Loma Linda is an obvious exclusion. Shouldn't those living on the West Coast be informed they also have the advantage of a center for such treatment?
