Pandasafe integrates rider training, telematics, defensive riding skills, first aid, and financial literacy into a holistic safety framework. Allianz Malaysia will provide CPR and first aid training, PERKESO will conduct safety induction and social protection education, Hong Leong Yamaha Motor will offer advanced riding courses, and Hong Leong Bank will deliver financial planning support.

Managing Director Tan Ming Luk said pandasafe is a permanent commitment, not a seasonal campaign, aiming to embed safety into daily operations and ensure riders “get home safely every day.”
