BYD Malaysia has appointed Jacob Ma as its new managing director, overseeing BYD and Denza brands in Malaysia. He succeeds Eagle Zhao, who will now fully focus on his role as president director of PT BYD Motor Indonesia.
During his tenure in Malaysia, Zhao played a pivotal role in establishing BYD’s market presence, successfully leading the company to deliver over 30,000 BYD and Denza vehicles. Under his leadership, BYD Malaysia expanded its nationwide dealer network, strengthened aftersales capabilities and accelerated the adoption of EVs in our market.
“Malaysia has been an incredibly important chapter in my journey with BYD. Together with our dedicated partners and team, we have built a strong foundation for both BYD and Denza. I am confident that the momentum we have created will continue to propel the brands forward,” Zhao said.
Ma brings with him plenty of experience. Prior to this appointment, he was the head of training at BYD HQ in Shenzhen for five years, and was later the VP of BYD Indonesia for two years. Earlier in his career, Ma worked as a consultant and gained experience in the aviation industry.
“I am honoured to take on this responsibility at such an exciting time for BYD Malaysia. Malaysia remains a strategic market for the group, and we are committed to delivering innovative products and comprehensive ownership experiences to our customers. Our focus will be on reinforcing operational excellence, elevating customer experience, and ensuring sustainable growth for both BYD and Denza,” the incoming MD said.

Why not local to become MD?
why should malaysain be appointed MD of a foreign company ? thats the same sort of stupid mindset which led FAM to import foreign football players and give them NRIC.

Lousy pricing strategy, very China way
Ok Mr new MD. The very first thing you need to do is terminate Sime Darby so you can offer your products at a more competitive pricing. SD is also making your consumers pay unnecessary maintenance in the EV cars.
If you don’t terminate them we know you like Mr Eagle had bee bribed.
30% boomi share must be maintained at all cost, dont forget this land belongs to who . its literally written in the law.
