Shipment delayed

Our Landy is still sitting in a container in Singapore, already delayed by more than a month. Back in Kuala Lumpur, we rushed to get the car to the port in time for loading, only to be told shortly afterwards that the shipment had already been postponed by a week. That one-week delay has now turned into more than a month. Because of the ongoing war in the Middle East, shipping routes are heavily disrupted, with cargo vessels delayed around the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere. Meanwhile, our Landy remains stuck in Singapore, and all we can do is wait.
