BACK IN 2006, Sani United Berhad

started its operations with only

six single-deck buses. Helmed by

founder Dato Wan Mohamad S ani,

the company today operates an entire fleet of

Scania buses and dominates the main routes

between Kuala Lumpur and the main towns in

the East Coast of Malaysia.

Dato Sani is passionate about life and livingevery minute to its fullest. A man of amazing

talents, he started his illustrious career in the

entertainment industry as a lead singer, an

accomplished actor and a successful mod el.

With a seemingly insatiable appetite for

taking on new challenges and enterprising

ventures, Dato Sani decided to make a surprise

career switch from singer to entrepreneur in

2006. He has not looked back ever since.

EARLY BUS TRAVELSDuring his childhooddays, Dato Sani would often take an express

bus from his hom etown in Kuala Terengganu

to visit his parents in Kuala Lumpur.

I still remember commuting back and forth

every weekend. Back then, buses were not as

well-equipped or comfortable as they are now.

Travelling was just a means to get to ones

destination. There was hardly any service atall, said Dato Sani. As it turns out, this brave

young lad would eventually move to Kuala

Lumpur to further his studies at Sunway

College. Little did he realise then, he would

one day operate a successful express bus

service company in Malaysia.

Sani United Berhad (SUB) is investing an estimated RM75

million to expand its express bus services nationwide.

Recently, the homegrown company added 13 new Scania

buses to meet growing passenger demands in Malaysia.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGSAt the beginning,business was tough as Sani Express had to

compete with other more established bus

operators in terms of service levels and

comfort. Also, its existing six single deck buses

were not exactly meeting expectations andto make matters worse, these vehicles were

constantly experiencing a lot of technical

and maintenance issues.

To quickly rise above the competition, Dato

Sani realized it needed a brand new fleet of buses.

SUB set forth stringent requirements for this:

fuel efficiency, reliability, comfort, safety and

minimum downtime. We spent a lot of time

evaluating many different brands in the market.

And finally, the decision was made to order 25

new Scania buses. We are indeed proud to have

Scania deliversexcellent value,reliability and highuptimeDato Wan Mohamad Sani

Dato Wan Mohamad Sani having a light moment with his staff.

chosen Scania as our new fleet of buses, said

Dato Sani.

We started using Scania buses for our Kuala

Terengganu route which required us to have

a reliable bus for the long distance travel, said

Dato Sani. From then on, we started replacingthe old buses with Scania buses because I strongly

believe the more you invest, the more you will

get in return. And thankfully, our revenues began

to grow and so did profit, added Dato Sani.

At the time, Sani Express was still a relatively

new player in the marketplace, and acquiring

a Scania fleet was a heavy investment for us.

But in the end, it was worth it,

Dato Sani commented.

SELECTING THE RIGHT BRAND Obviously,

there were several determining factors

when it came to finalising the managements

procurement decision. One of the major

criteria that prompted Sani Express to choose

Scania was its excellent fuel economy.Premium after-sales service and quality

technical support were among other important

factors that were taken into consideration.

We were very impressed with Scania

buses because of its low fuel consumption,

safety features, comfort level and low

maintenance. In short, Scania delivers

excellent value, reliability and high uptime,

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCEWhen it comes to

maintaining his fleet of buses, Sani Express

spares no expense and has signed up for

a comprehensive Repair & Maintenance

contract with Scania, which covers all repair,

maintenance and service requirements. From

his experience, if a bus is well maintained,

downtime will be minimized. If you choose

to pay less for a product, you are actually

inviting problems to yourself by paying for

more maintenance in the future, quipped

Dato Sani.

In his relentless pursuit of excellence in

customer satisfaction, Dato Sani strives to

improve service and quality in transportation.

With Scania buses, Sani Express has been

able to benefit from excellent fuel economy,

less downtime and more importantly, better

image and customer perception. Scanias

comprehensive driver training program ensures

that each and every of the Sani Express drivers

is provided the necessary knowledge and

expertise to optimize the performance of each

Scania bus for the travel comfort and safetyof all passengers.

Going forward, Sani Express aims to spread

its wings by conquering bus routes in southern

peninsular Malaysia. Our plan is to expand our

business from 30 to 100 buses by 2015 to cater

to all major routes in Malaysia, said Dato Sani.

I am extremely pleased with our working

partnership with Scania. With Scanias world

class reputation in building solid, reliable buses,

I am confident this partnership will continue to

flourish in the future, concluded Dato Sani.

they will step up in the international market.

Even thoughwe usually drive onhighways, we stillneed good-quality,high-capacity, andfuel-saving trucksSurachet Nainapalert

Kiattana has major transportation routes all over

the country, mainly in the East, Central, North,

Northeastern, and certain parts in the South . So the

selection of trucks is t he key. Even though we usually

drive on highways, we still need good-quality, high-

capacity, and fuel-saving trucks. From our past

experience in using almost all brands because of

being open-minded, we recognise that western trucks

are more efficient, safer, stronger, and has more fuel

economy. Also, from customers perspectives, western

trucks are more reliable and efficient. At Lankrabue

where Scania long-haulage trucks are used and

the maintenance agreement is signed, it is confirmed

that Scania has good safety system and that the level

of fuel consumption is also satisfactory. When its

time to change lubricant or perform other types of

maintenance, technicians will come in to provide

services. Th erefore, we do not have to worry about

performing any maintenance ourselves. By the end

of last year, Larnkrabue branch ordered more Scania

P x trucks. said Surachet.

Another issue of great attention is our drivers.For me, being a driver is a prestigious and important

career, although, in the past, people might view that

truck drivers were teamsters driving fast. Now,

the transportation industr y grows so quickly

that there are not enough personnel. These drivers

should be knowledgeable, skillful, well-experienced,

and possess the level- license permitting t he

transportation of dangerous article prescribed

by the law, which is the specialty ability. Kiattana is

a family. We have managers taking care of the drivers

closely. In addition to the accommodation for

the drivers and their families so that they do not

have trouble commuting, there is other welfare. Finding good-

quality trucks is also another way of showing our attention to

them. Surachet continued to say that many drivers love Scanias

modern long haulage equipped with the system assisting them

to drive more comfortably, making them less exhausted and not

stressed out. Our company has integrated the working style to be

international but still follow the Thai tradition in taking care of our

employees.

Regarding the new challenge for Kiattana during the time of

facing the increase in costs together with the trade liberalization

of Asean Economic Community (AEC) in the future, Surachet said

that, despite being long established in th is business, we have never

stopped looking for new innovations if they are for the better.

We are not only studying the concept of AECs trade liberalisation

but also revising our vision, strategy, and everything related to

the administration for new management in order to deal with

future changes. Moving forward, it is significant that we have to

standardise the knowledge of employees in the company so tha t

they have the same level of understanding and share the same

common goal. Without help from our partners, suppliers,

customers, society or communi ties, we wouldnt be where we are

now, as it is reflected in o ur slogan, We Grow Together.

However, the repair is rare anmaintenance is changing lubricantnot different from the new trucks.

On top of all these, Gurmit sees

the increased productivity of his business by

utilising the Scania R V B-Double adds up

to the reason to invest in the second Scania

the Scania R V B-Double is able to carry% more load than regular LPG semi-trucks.

INTERVIEW

I love everythingabout Scania ; the design,the safety, obviouslyeverything!Paleerut Klumsook

ITS MY LIFE,

ITS MY DRIVE

My husband was a truck driver and I

have always sat beside him. So one day

I asked him to teach me how to drive a

truck because I have driven a van before.

Once he had to move to a different city

to work, I didnt think it was a good thing

for our children to move, and if he wasnt

there to provide for the family then it was

my duty to do so. After that I went for a

test and had been trained professionally.

I passed the test in the year 1989 and my

first job was to drive a 10-wheel-truck.

Family and her children are the main reasons

she decided to work as a truck driver, which is

normally a mans job. I work for my chil dren,

but before I had them, I always had a passion in

driving, she told us. Her experience in driving

is no less than other men. I ha ve been driving

since from -wheel to a chemical truck.

Ive got a grade C driving license, of course it

is more risky, but I earn more for that. Until

lately my sisters friend asked me to join Pasan

tour company, so I tried my luck. First they

were quite surprised as I am a woman but with

my previous experience they took me in. She

smiled.

Being the only woman-driver in the company

of course, requires more effort to be able to

In this bad economic situation, it is not surprising to see lots of women doing

jobs you may never imagine they could do. Paleerut Klumsook, a mother of

3 children, aged 48 years old from Kanjanaburi has fought with all her heart

and strength to survive in this economy. Her job is a bus driver and of course

it is a Scania!

prove to her colleagues and also customers.

She surprised us with the fact that her male

colleagues have not treated her differently.

They treated me the same b ecause they see

my ambitions and my endeavor to work in t his

position. The customers always seem to be

surprised to see a driver being a woman. Some

of them even gave me a compliment for taking

them to their destination safe and sound.

Other drivers, apart from being surprised,

also questioned whether it is just a typical

Japanese bus with a Scania logo or it is actually

a real Scania. They are just being too jealous.

she laughed.

I love everything about Scania; the design,

the safety, obviously everything! she told us

when we asked her why she is so in love with

her bus. One particular thing I love the m ost

are the brakes. It really gives me confidence that

it will never fail me.

The secret to my success is that you have

to be confident in what you do. Then people

will accept for who you are. She will also be

available to give training to any woman who

wants to try out. I ha ve been trained like any

other. Whatever they can do, Im sure I can

too. I am cm tall so I can do a mans job,

sometimes even better than men. I am a calm

and caring driver, possibly because I am

a mother. I feel like its my responsibility to

bring them to their destination safe and sound.

Before we ended the interview, Paleerut

would like us to pass her thoughtful message

to all drivers. The driver has to concentrate

behind the wheel. Peoples lives are in our

hands and it is our responsibi lity to drive safely.

Everyone loves their lives. So be more careful.

She adds, and keep smiling, to your customers

and to everyone. Spread the happiness and it

will be such an amazing road trip.

Name :Paleerut Klumsook

Age :48 years old

Family :Mother of 3 children

Experience :23 years

Happiest :It is my absolute happiness that

I am able to work in a mans job and to be

accepted among them.

Scania Malaysia had a privilege to host the committee mem-

bers of the Pan-Malaysia Lorry Owners Association (PMLOA)

at Bukit Jelutong on 14th of May 2012 for our headquarters

facility-visit. Hosted by Scania Malaysias Sales Manager Mr. Chan

Kong Art and lead by Association President, Mr. Jong Foh Jit and

his committee-entourage were given some insights on Scanias

operations in Malaysia. Clearly impressed with the facility-visit and

commitment, Mr. Jong later responded on how Scania has dem-

onstrated to the PMLOA that it indeed conduct its operations from

a fully-equipped and modern truck-service centre. These services

being offered are made accessible anywhere in the country, it is a

burden off-the-shoulder for many lorry owners!

With the industrial developments implemented

under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy

(SCORE) moving into a rapid gear, the Bintulu

branch of United Lorry Traders Association has

recently organised a truck show on the 11th and

12th of May 2012. The weekend-event was held

in the parking compound of the towns Civic

Centre and has attracted thousands of visitors

and industry operators alike from the East

Malaysian region. Scania Malaysia made an

appearance by showcasing the Scania P380

6x4 MSZ. The technologically advanced and

robust Scania truck comes equipped with unique

specifications for the East Malaysian market due

to its operating-terrains and industry applications

namely featuring heavy-duty leaf-springs and

Scania Opticruise gearbox.

Scania as one of the sponsors of the Green Living

event has sent a Euro3 bus to transport attendees and its

executives to the reforesting ground

Scania sponsored "Resurrect the forest, Bring the

Fish back home" an event held by Green Living Society

between 21-22 April 2012. The main activity of the event

was to reforest the mangrove forest at the Sirindhorn

International Environmental Park, Petchaburi. Nearly

100 attendees travelled safe and sound with the comfort

of our Euro3 Scania bus throughout the event. We hope

that the event would educate society about the affects

of deforestation on the environment and encourage

preservation mindset among us.

Kontena Nasional Berhad, a long-time customer of Scania

Malaysia, marked its 40th Anniversary last year with an equally

impressive milestone when it took delivery of the groups 400th

prime mover from Scania Malaysia. Last December, a Scania

P380 LA6X2 MSZ prime mover, bearing registration number

BLL40 was handed over in a celebratory handover ceremony

at Scanias regional head office in Shah Alam.

Scania is renowned for its reliability and performance. I

am proud to say that they have been consistently meeting

and exceeding our expectations, said Osman Hood, Chief

Executive Officer of Kontena Nasional. More importantly, Scania

also provides comprehensive after-sales support that keeps our

fleet well-maintained and in optimum condition, he added.
