The Edge–Mah Sing Millionaire Contest gets great response

KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): The Edge–Mah Sing Millionaire Contest, a collaboration between The Edge Media Group and Mah Sing Group, has received overwhelming response, with thousands of participants taking part in the online contest since its launch last month.

With another three weeks left, Mah Sing’s executive director and CEO Ng Chai Yong expects more participants to take part in the contest. The competition will see one lucky winner walk away with a RM1 million prize voucher to purchase any Mah Sing-launched residential property in Malaysia.

“I think the success of the contest thus far is because participation is completely free of charge with no strings attached,” he added. “Anyone can be a winner, and you do not need to be an existing customer of Mah Sing. Anyone can make their dream of owning a million-ringgit home come true through this simple online contest. I think this is what has attracted the thousands of Malaysians and Singaporeans to participate.”

Participation in the online contest closes on July 31, after which 21 selected participants will battle it out in the grand finale on-ground event dubbed “Survivor Challenge”. This is made up of a mix of simple knowledge and physical games on Aug 22 at Mah Sing Group’s Southville City@KL South, Bangi.

Participant Aravindhanraj a/l Rajoo expressed his excitement at the chance of winning a RM1million ringgit dream home. “It’s a great opportunity and this [contest] has also brought my friends and I closer together, as each night at midnight, we would remind each other to take part in the activities on the contest webpage to get more tokens,” said the 26-year-old doctor.

Commercial administrator Rosnawati Roselie, meanwhile, has been actively inviting her friends via Facebook to join in the contest. “I’ve been looking for my dream house and this contest is the perfect opportunity for me to make my dreams come true! I’m familiar with the good quality and nice designs of Mah Sing’s homes, so I really want to win!” she said.

Ho Kay Tat, publisher and group chief executive officer at The Edge Media Group, said the grand prize voucher for a Mah Sing Dream Home has definitely attracted a sizeable amount of participants.

“Participants have to complete The Edge Fair Value tool as a mandatory step to proceed in the contest," Ho said. "More and more of the general public are learning about the vast array of proprietary news, research, data, analytics and tools available on theedgeproperty.com.” The Edge Fair Value is an indicative price of a property generated by a proprietary algorithm based on actual transactions.

After completing The Edge Fair Value tool, participants can than enter The Edge–Mah Sing Millionaire Contest webpage and play the list of online activities in which participants gain tokens.

The higher the number of tokens gained, the higher the chances of the participant being selected as one of the 21 finalists for the grand finale.
