In Media
In the second series of Top Gear, James May drove the Kelisa and was generally impressed with the car, even likening it to the original Mini.
However, in Jeremy Clarkson's 2005 DVD "Heaven and Hell", he bought a brand new Perodua Kelisa EX and destroyed it by blowing it up in an effort to highlight aesthetic frustrations with the design. In 2007, Clarkson described it as the worst in the world, "its name was like a disease and suggested it was built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes". His comments drew criticism from the Malaysian government, a representative of which countered by stating that no complaints had been received from any UK customers.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
