KUALA LUMPUR: Marking Malaysia's largest BYD owners gathering, BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD vehicles in Malaysia, brought together more than 800 attendees.
They included BYD owners, staff, partners and management through an exclusive two-day AllStar Legends experience.
The event featured former Premier League and international football stars, including Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Ryan Giggs, Alessandro Del Piero, Dida and Javier Saviola, giving BYD owners and their families the chance to meet the football icons through exclusive meet-and-greet sessions, a Legends Talk, Gala Dinner and the highly anticipated AllStar Legends match at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).
The experience began on Oct 2 with the visiting legends touring Kuala Lumpur, followed by appearances at BYD Glenmarie and BYD TREC Kuala Lumpur using BYD Vehicles.
Throughout the weekend, owners enjoyed unique opportunities to engage personally with the football icons, hear their stories of determination and success, and celebrate a shared pursuit of excellence.
For many families, the highlight came before kick-off, when selected children from BYD-owning families walked onto the pitch alongside their football heroes as official player mascots, creating unforgettable memories for both young fans and parents alike.
BYD Malaysia managing director Jacob Ma said, “At BYD, ‘Build Your Dreams’ is more than a brand promise. It is about inspiring people to pursue their passions and achieve what once seemed impossible."
"The legends we welcomed to Malaysia changed the game through talent, dedication and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. In many ways, that same spirit drives BYD, challenging conventions and redefining what is possible in electric mobility.”
Sime Motors, Southeast Asia managing director Jeffrey Gan said, “At BYD Sime Motors, we believe ownership extends far beyond the vehicle itself. As our community continues to grow, we remain committed to creating memorable experiences that strengthen our connection with our owners."
"AllStar Legends reflects our appreciation for our owners, bringing together shared passions, exclusive access and unforgettable moments that make being part of the BYD family truly special.”
Sam Khoo, proud owner of a BYD Seal, said, “Meeting football legends, attending the Gala Dinner, and experiencing the match up close felt like a dream brought to life. Moments like these truly embody BYD's spirit of ‘Build Your Dreams’ and make me proud to be part of the BYD Community.”
For families whose children were selected as Kid Mascots, the occasion was an especially meaningful one.
Fatin, owner of a BYD Sealion 7 and a BYD Kid Mascot parent, shared, “We never imagined our child would have the opportunity to be part of something this special. Seeing him walk onto the pitch as a Kid Mascot alongside football legends in front of thousands of fans was an incredibly proud moment for us as parents.”
