For many 20-year-olds, getting a driving licence marks the first milestone on the road to independence
Halimie Abdul from Rawang reached that milestone with an unforgettable twist when he won a brand-new BYD Seal electric car before even completing his driving lessons.
"I'm in the midst of completing my driving lessons and never imagined I would own a car so soon," said Halimie
Halimie's journey to this unexpected win began with a simple action of requesting a free motor insurance quote on BJAK.com.
The BJAK 8.8 Mega Giveaway, held from 15 July to 8 August, offered Malaysians the opportunity to win prizes worth over RM500,000, ranging from smartphones and gadgets to household essentials and the grand prize BYD Seal electric car.
Entry was straightforward: request a free insurance quote to be eligible for an entry in the draw.
The giveaway attracted over 120,000 entries, with 2,500 winners receiving free BJAK VIP Services, while 50 winners took home lucky draw prizes. And the grand prize, of course, went to Halimie.
Recalling the moment he learned he was the grand prize winner, he said, "When I heard my name, I froze in disbelief. It was an overwhelming moment of joy that brought me to tears."
The BYD Seal, worth over RM180,000, will be his first car.
For now, it will remain parked until he obtains his licence, although he already knows his first drive will be shared with his parents.
