This past Saturday Shell Malaysia hosted the gathering of its six Shell Cash Contest grand prize winners. These ordinary Malaysians, residing in Klang Valley, Kelantan, Malacca, Penang and as far away as Kuching, Sarawak; each walked away with RM100,000 simply by filling up a minimum of RM30 petrol at a participating Shell station.
During the prize presentation to the sixth winner, En Azman Ismail, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd’s new Managing Director, also recognized the unwavering support extended by Malaysian motorists especially since the launch of the company’s latest breakthrough fuel, the Shell FuelSave 95 and 97, in October last year, and its recently concluded 1 Litre Challenge in December.
“Shell has a long and proud history of continuously investing in research and development to ensure that our customers benefit from the latest in fuel, technology. Our customers, who fuel up with our Shell FuelSave, and our recently crowned 1 litre Challenge Champion, know how far 1 litre of savings every tank full can take them. In promoting our fuel, Shell has also built for ourselves, a reputation for offering exciting contests to reward our customers. We have in fact, also continuously improved on our rewards and contests. For example, we have, each year, increased both the grand prize amount and the number of prizes given out in our cash contests since we started it three years ago,” said En Azman Ismail.
“Shell has already rewarded thousands of customers nationwide last year alone and thus far the response towards the Shell RM100,000 Weekly Cash Contest has indeed been encouraging. Already six weeks into the competition, we have been received an overwhelming number of entries and with eight more weeks to go, anyone can be a winner! This is Shell’s big give,” he added.
This message was echoed by Week 6 winner, Ms. Tan Cheng Siew from Terengganu. “The announcement came as a shock to me as I did not expect to win. Considering the current economic climate, cash prize such as this will make a huge impact in my life and my family’s. I would like to thank Shell for giving me the opportunity to do so. What a great start to the New Year!” said Ms. Tan, who has been supporting Shell for many years
Mrs Teo Lee Choo from Kuching, Sarawak was ecstatic too when she received a call from a Shell representative who congratulated her on the RM100, 000 win. “This is the first time I had ever won a contest and moreover, it’s such a huge amount! I am planning to donate some of the money to Lions Home who has been taking care of my mother-in-law.”
En. Syahrul Hafizi Bin Amer from Penang said he was lost for words when he first received the call from Shell. “I have developed an interest in Super Bikes over the years and would love to own my own super bike. Now, with this prize money, I finally can. The balance of the win will be donated to a local orphanage home or single mothers association. Hopefully the money will make a mark on their lives as this win has had on mine”
