Small buses, big memories: Malaysia’s iconic Bas Mini rides again as a diecast collectible

Kuala Lumpur's iconic Bas Mini buses, once a vibrant sight on city streets, are making a nostalgic return as diecast collectibles. Dubbed Kenangan di Perhentian - The Bas Mini Collection, these miniature models capture the essence of Malaysia's transport history. Created through a collaboration between Masterpiece Collectibles and Railshop, a KTM Berhad retail brand, the collection features five vibrant designs, from the classic pink-and-white Bas Mini to the cream-and-yellow Bas Sekolah.

The models accurately recreate features like destination signage, route numbers, and vintage-style grilles. Available at Railshop and KL Sentral, the diecast collection invites Malaysian and Singaporean collectors to cherish these beloved public transport icons on their shelves.
