July 14, 2008 by Terence

The Perak state government plans to set up a world class city in conjunction with the vehicle brand `Volkswagen’ (VW) as a tourism product which is popular worldwide, said Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.

He said the first VW City in the world would offer a variety of services and products linked to the German-made vehicle.

“In view of the increasing number of enthusiasts collecting the VW vehicles throughout the world, it is not impossible that this tourist city would be equipped with services to supply spare parts and an exhibition gallery for the VW brand,” he said when launching the Ipoh Volkswagen Carnival at Dataran Ipoh, here Saturday.

Asked whether the state government had a suitable location for this purpose and when the VW City could be set up, Mohammad Nizar said the matter must be discussed with the State Tourism Committee and the relevant parties beforehand.
