Mar 28, 2019

Since the Entrepreneur Development Minister revealed a flying car was being developed here, Malaysians have been excited. 

But many felt let down by the scale model revealed at the LIMA exhibition in Langkawi, with some social media users making fun of the design. 

The company creating the vehicle has since clarified it's actually based on a drone, and it's only meant to be flown, not driven. 

A prototype will be available in June.
