The 25-year-old from Kampung Stabut, Padawan, was absolutely thrilled to learn that she had won the contest, which she joined just to try out her luck.
“I was shopping for groceries at Everrise and came across the display of Coca-Cola Gawai Raya Contest. I thought I’d just join for fun and never did I expect that I would be declared the winner,” she said during the prize presentation ceremony at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here yesterday.
Fylegeen’s win will no doubt be a memorable one especially when this was her first time joining such a competition.
“I feel very happy and winning the grand prize makes it sweeter,” she said.
On hand to present Fylegeen with her prize was Coca-Cola Refreshments Malaysia commercial director Eric Tan who earlier said this was the first time the world-class beverage company organised a contest customised specificallyfor its East Malaysian consumers.
“We’ve received more than 1,000 entries and we hope to organise more contests like this in the future,” he said.
A total of 108 prizes were up for grabs in the contest, which ran from April 15 to June 30.
There were two second prizes of Honda motorcycles, while there were four third prizes of a Coca-Cola Mini Cube Cooler.
Consolation prizes of shopping vouchers were also given to 100 winners.
