Proton has launched its Pandu & Menang contest, in which Malaysians will stand the chance to win daily and weekly prizes which includes a 42-inch LED TV, electrical gadgets and cash, worth RM400,000 in total.
The contest runs until December 17, and Malaysians and permanent residents of the country with a valid IC/passport and drivers license are eligible to participate. To enter it, you’ll simply need to head over to a Proton showroom to test drive any Proton model and fill in the test drive form.
The contest is divided into two segments – one is via SMS, where participants will need to answer two questions correctly and respond in the fastest time to win the daily prizes. The second portion of the contest invites participants to take a creative picture with the Proton test drive vehicle and upload it on Facebook to win the weekly prizes.
There’s also a grand prize of a limited edition Proton Preve, but only SMS contest participants who place a booking and register a Proton vehicle within the contest period will be eligible to be in the running to bag it.
The Proton Preve LE, unveiled during the launch of the Pandu & Menang contest last week, is a limited production run of 100 units. Available only in Solid White, the RM79,688 car features an all-new bodykit, leather seats, 17-inch R3 alloys and a full complement of six airbags.
The automaker also unveiled a brand new colour for the Preve last week. The shade, called Soft Lilac, is targeted towards female buyers, the company says.
