A motor vehicle service or tune-up is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has traveled a certain distance. The service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some modern cars display the due date for the next service electronically on the instrument panel. A tune-up should not be confused with engine tuning, which is the modifying of an engine to perform better than the original specification, rather than using maintenance to keep the engine running as it should.

The completed services are usually recorded in a service book upon completion of each service. A complete service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle.

Difference between major and full service: a major service is more comprehensive than a full service; although it covers all the same checks that a full service does, a major service will be more detailed and will include more replacements of wearable parts, such as pollen filters, and changing your brake fluid if required.

As a guideline, minor car services are carried out every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, and major car services every 30,000 to 45,000 kilometres – or every twelve months, whichever comes first.

The actual schedule of car maintenance varies depending on the year, make, and model of a car, its driving conditions, and driver behavior. Carmakers recommend the so-called extreme or the ideal service schedule based on impact parameters such as

Service advisers in dealerships and independent shops recommend schedule intervals, which are often in between the ideal or extreme service schedule.

In addition, drivers may be penalized for not regularly servicing their cars. For example, in many states in the U.S., a car has to pass a safety inspection test every year or two years to remain legal, and can incur fines for continuing to drive cars that have failed.

Maintenance tasks commonly carried out during a motor vehicle service include:

Mechanical parts that may cause the car to cease transmission or prove unsafe for the road are also noted and advised upon.

In the United Kingdom, few parts that are not inspected on the MOT test are inspected and advised upon a Service Inspection, including clutch, gearbox, car battery, and engine components (further inspections than MOT).

1. Baju Melayu is a form of traditional wear worn by the Malay community. In the wider Malay archipelago, Baju Kurung particularly refers to female traditional wear, while Baju Melayu is worn by males.

Although it is commonly worn for specific religious and cultural events such as Hari Raya, weddings and family gatherings, historically the Baju Melayu was used as everyday wear, and holds rich cultural significance.

2. The Baju Kurung for women comprises a two-piece outfit, traditionally a knee-length loose-fitting tunic with long sleeves that is usually coupled with a sarong skirt. The common skirt fold is called the “ombak mengalun” (rolling waves), with the sarong fastened to one side, usually with 5 to 6 pleats.

It is believed that the Baju Kurung was popularised at the height of the Malaccan Sultanate in the 15th century to replace the common sarong that women used to wear from the chest downwards.

3. The Malay term “kurung” (“to contain”), highlights the main function of the Baju Kurung, which is to ensure that most parts of the body are modestly covered. This is believed to have been an influence of the Islamic faith.

The selendang is an additional cloth that can be made of different types of textiles, and is usually worn on one side of the shoulder to add a feminine touch. In addition, some women also wear the Islamic headscarf, or tudung, of a suitable colour to complement the look.

4. Other popular traditional outfits worn by women today include the Baju Kebaya, Baju Kurung Kedah and the hybrid Baju Kebarung (Kebaya and Kurung).

The Baju Kebaya is favoured by young people because of its figure-hugging style and its assortment of colours, prints and materials such as lace and cotton. It is usually complemented with a sarong batik with vibrant flower designs. Accessories can also be worn to dress up an outfit – for example, the kebaya is often worn with the kerongsang (brooches used to pin the blouse together).

5. Baju Melayu is the male equivalent of the traditional Malay outfit. It traditionally consists of a shirt-top and trousers of matching colour. There are two versions, distinguished by their distinct neck designs: Telok Belangah and Cekak Musang.

6. The Telok Belangah design is believed to be the earliest version of the Baju Melayu. It is named after the area in the south of Singapore, which was once the centre of the Johor Sultanate more than two centuries ago.

The design is collarless, featuring a specialised stitching technique on the neckline known as the “tulang belut” (eel’s bone). It has only one button and two pockets at the lower half of the top shirt.

7. The Cekak Musang (fox’s lease) style features a standing collar that has two buttons attached to it and three additional buttons on the shirt. It has two to three pockets.

8. A complete look for both these versions usually includes the songkok, an oval-shaped headgear made of either velvet, felt or cotton, that is usually black in colour; and the kain samping, traditionally an ornamented textile worn around the waist.

For the Telok Blangah version, the kain samping can be wrapped underneath the shirt top, a style known as “dagang dalam”. For the Cekak Musang version, the kain samping can be wrapped above the shirt, a style known as “dagang luar”.

9. The Baju Melayu can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. It can also be worn in various ways and styles, depending on the context. Formal versions are usually hand woven and made of expensive materials such as songket, brocade, lace and silk.

At weddings, the ceremonial outfits take on a more royal appearance. Matching coloured outfits usually made of songket are worn by the bride and groom. They are dressed in royal regalia with elaborate hair accessories such as the sanggul for the females, and the male headwear known as the tengkolok or tanjak. It is no wonder that the couple is often referred to as the “raja dan permaisuri sehari”, or “king and queen for the day”.

A cotton Baju Melayu is a classic choice for more casual, everyday use that harks back to the yesteryears. It is important to recognise that historically, the Baju Melayu was used as everyday wear and it still holds rich cultural significance for the Malay community. Today, trendy and affordable alternative options include the Baju Melayu made of synthetic fabrics such as polyester.

10. Over the years, the Baju Melayu has undergone various changes and transformations in relation to the fashion styles and cultural influences of the day. However, the basic forms are usually adhered to, leading to its longevity and enduring appeal till today.
