JOHOR BARU – Harley-Davidson plans to expand its motorcycle business operations here in the second quarter of next year.

According to a post on Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s Facebook page, Juan Chow Wee, the general manager of Harley-Davidson’s exclusive distributor in Malaysia, Didi Resources Sdn Bhd, was granted an audience at Istana Flintstones near Mersing yesterday. 

At the meeting, Juan presented his business plan, namely the 3S – Harley-Davidson sales, service and spare parts – centre, which will be located in Jalan Stulang Laut here next year. 

Sultan Ibrahim said the expansion demonstrates the company’s confidence in the potential of Johor’s economic development.
