KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 — Local supermarket franchise, Mydin keeps winning on social media.
This time, its official Twitter account took the Malaysian ‘King of the Road’ in the Perodua Myvi — head on.
Sparked by a video compilation of Myvis braving floodwaters tweeted by user saranghanu3000, Myvi had begun to rise in ranks of trending topics in Malaysia to second place, with only Mydin in its way.
I’m not sure whether the myvi itself is just superior somehow, but personally as a myvi driver, we just believe that we can do it all😂 so yeah the automatic confidence is all it takes🤌 pic.twitter.com/X1kUDTuon1

The play on the name was a hit, as it came after Mydin head honcho, Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin said he forgave the looters who broke into their Shah Alam store, and expressed his understanding of their situation being stranded flood victims who were cut off from food supply for days.
