After three hours of fun but fierce competition, Brian Lim Choon Wah from Petaling Jaya emerged as the victor of The Edge-Mah Sing Millionaire Challenge.

The agile and quick-thinking Lim defeated 20 other finalists to win the grand prize: a RM1 million cash voucher to purchase a Mah Sing residential property anywhere in Malaysia.

“This is the greatest day of my life, I never expected to win the competition,” said the 32-year old IT project manager.

The newly-minted millionaire shouted in excitement and hugged his family moments after he knocked down the last box in the “sandbag throw” final challenge to clinch the top prize.

The Edge-Mah Sing Millionaire Contest – organised by The Edge Media Group and Mah Sing Group Bhd – saw 21 contestants battling it out in the grand finale at the Southville City @ KL South sales gallery in Bangi today.

Lim will be entitled to purchase his Mah Sing dream home, with a choice of residential properties across property hotspots such as the Klang Valley, Greater KL, Penang, Johor and Sabah.

The other finalists were awarded consolation prizes of a Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet and a cash voucher for selected Mah Sing projects worth up to RM5,000.

“I had a good time today, although I couldn’t pass the last challenge and win the competition. All the games were a combination of strength and skill, so the winner deserved it,” said Hong Lih Chun, who was hot on Lim’s heels during the last challenge.

The ground-breaking event attracted around 200 members of the public, including the finalists’ families and friends, to witness the creation of a new millionaire.

Au Foong Yee, managing director of The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd and The Edge Property Sdn Bhd, said it was not every day that a contest with a RM1 million prize voucher was organised.

“Today marks a special occasion for both Mah Sing and The Edge Media Group as the two companies join hands to introduce a brand new millionaire to Malaysia,” she said during the prize presentation ceremony.

Mah Sing chief executive officer Ng Chai Yong said the company had a diversified range of residential products, so Lim had the enviable worry of which property to choose.

“But more importantly, I think what we’ve achieved here is to make a person’s dreams come true, and that is what Mah Sing aims to deliver through its properties as a premier lifestyle developer,” he added.

The Edge-Mah Sing Millionaire Contest was open from June 20 to July 31. The online contest received an overwhelming response from the public, aiming to win the RM1 million prize.

Among some of Mah Sing’s million-ringgit properties are Icon Residence, Mont’Kiara in Kuala Lumpur; Aspen@Garden Residence in Cyberjaya; Ambrosia@Kinrara Residence in Puchong; Icon City in Petaling Jaya; The Loft@Southbay City in Penang; The Residences@Sutera Avenue in Sabah and The Meridin@Medini in Johor. – theedgeproperty.com, August 22, 2015.
