partner with Korea-based LG Electronics for its electric vehicle development. By the mid-2000s, Perusahaan Otomobil Elektrik (Malaysia) had effectively stalled and the company became a dormant entity. TNB later took FNR to court over failed debt repayments, and the ensuing legal tussle dragged on as late as 2018. In September 2015, FNR chairman Kamal Siddiqi became implicated in the 'Justogate' scandal. By the late 2010s, Frazer-Nash Research had incurred significant debt, and the British court ordered it to wind up along with its parent company Kamkorp. POEM Eleksuria The first product from Perusahaan Otomobil Elektrik (Malaysia), the Eleksuria was launched on 1 December 1997. The Eleksuria is a licensed produced version of the 'Solar Baby' developed by Frazer-Nash Research. The Solar Baby / Eleksuria is a fully-electric buggy-type vehicle which could seat four occupants. POEM commenced limited production of the Eleksuria in November 1997 at a temporary facility within Tenaga Nasional's UNITEN campus with a small workforce of 30 to 40 personnel. The conventional lead-acid batteries which powered the Eleksuria gave it a claimed range of 120 km between charges, and could be fully charged within an hour. The Eleksuria was reportedly produced with more than 50% local content, while the batteries for later models were known to be sourced from Texas-based Electrosource Inc.. It was reportedly priced around RM 40,000 in February 1998, and was sold to primarily business customers. The Eleksuria was never intended to compete against conventional vehicles such as the Perodua Kancil or Modenas motorcycles. The initial batch of Eleksuria produced were not road legal, and was only permitted for use on private property grounds such as at airports and resorts. However, by July 1998, the Eleksuria had received JPJ road legal certification for use on all Malaysian roads except highways. POEM also unveiled an updated version of the Eleksuria in July 1998, featuring a more car-like design with doors and headlights which were more spaced apart. Apart from the Eleksuria, POEM had also produced other variants and configurations to suit different applications and buyers. Where the Eleksuria was primarily designed as a people-mover, a 'Golf Buggy' variant was produced for golf resort use, a 'Harrods Buggy' version was designed for British department chain Harrods, and an 'Airport Buggy' model was made for use at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Some of the variants produced also had roof-mounted solar panels. POEM also had plans to produce
