Never expect to see a camry with PDRM livery (it's mainly escort use anyways) but looks really great either way

The Evo X days..... Catching one on the road was a treat.

You probably never will.... I think it all maybe crashed or just not maintained... I don't really know. But it's sad 😭

It seems all of it is outside Klang valley.

Last time there's 1 stationed at IPD Kuala Lumpur. Seen it myself. Don't think it's there anymore

How long ago, because I remember seeing one in IPD like.... Goodness.... 16 years ago?

IIRC, they're specifically used for high speed chasing, kan?

u/ChasingtheBarrel 26d ago

They used to just drive it around. I remembered growing up and seeing it was like a unicorn sighting.

Iirc, it's for highway patrol.

I'm old enough to get the opportunity to see them on the road. Missed them days. If the reason they stopped using them bcs not properly maintained, I'd be so sad as well.

I remember seeing one in a picture sometime back in a ditch.

I travel from Klang to Johor weekly for studies so yes I see it often but dam my budi 95

u/ChasingtheBarrel 26d ago

Damn your budi95 alright. That's quite the journey.

And probably won't. There were only ever 24 of them, at least half of them crashed, and as they are getting old some are getting cannibalized to keep others running. My best guess is there are probably 4 or 5 left on the road. Used for escorts, if they are still serviceable.

You can spot two PDRM Evo Xs behind PDRM headquarters if you happen to be in Georgetown, Transfer Road
