KUALA LUMPUR: It was all smiles for the three winners of the lucky draw at the Kuala Lumpur International Motorshow 2018 (KLIMS’18), which offers visitors a chance to win either a Toyota C-HR, a Honda City or a Perodua Myvi.
The winners were Wan Afedizal Wan Ariffin from Kuala Lumpur who won the C-HR; Tan Tse Thye who won the City and Ng Mei Ching who won the Myvi.
The winning tickets were drawn by Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) president Datuk Aishah Ahmad from a lucky draw box at the close of KLIMS’18.
Every entrance ticket was eligible for the lucky draw at the motor show, which was held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) from November 23 to December 2.
Organised by MAA, the 10-day motor show was themed “Beyond Mobility” and attracted 258,508 visitors. MAA had targeted visitor turnout at 350,000.
KLIMS'18 featured over 74 marques of vehicle brands and automotive products spanning more than six exhibitions halls and covering two levels at Mitec.
Participating automotive brands included CAM, Citroen, Daihatsu, DS, Ford, Kawasaki, Benelli, Honda, Hyundai and Isuzu. Others were Kia, Lexus, Petronas Motorsports, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Perodua, Peugeot, Proton, Tata, Toyota and UD Trucks.
The lucky draw winners were presented with their mock keys at an appreciation dinner last Friday for the exhibitors, sponsors and media at Mitec.
The dinner also saw the presentation of awards for Best Booth, in recognition of innovation booth design and presentation of displays as crowd pullers for KLIMS’18.
The Best Booth awards were presented in two categories, for “Cars, Motorcycles and Trucks” and “Automotive-related products”.
In the “Cars, Motorcycles & Trucks” category, the Best Booth award went to Lexus Malaysia, with Nissan Malaysia and Honda Malaysia as first and second runner-up respectively.
In the “Automotive-related products” category, the Best Booth award went to Petronas, with Thinkware Dashcam and V-Kool as first and second runner-up respectively.
The motor show will be held every three years. The show made a comeback this year after a five-year absence.
