Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2013 Preview


[Preview]

I attended the media preview yesterday and all the photos in this post and in my albums on Facebook are shot with the recently launched Sony NEX – 5T (more info at http://www.sony.com.my ).
With the theme “Efficiency in Motion”, KLIMS 2013 is the 8th edition (after 1980, 1984, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2010 & 2013), is 30,000 square meters in size and features 78 exhibitors. KLIMS 2013 is organized by the Malaysian Automotive Association and is managed by Interexpo (M) Sdn Bhd.
This would actually be my 6th time attending KLIMS and you can see photos from previous KLIMS by searching for “KLIMS” in my site’s search box.
