A casual test drive turned into a lucky corner for Mr Law Soon Hee, 26, when we was chosen to be the winner of Perodua’s “Test Drive and Win” short message service (SMS) contest which ran from October to December last year.
Mr Law received the new Perodua Bezza 1.3L Advance Variant at the MYPerodua Nation carnival, Perodua’s first and biggest outdoor carnival, held here between 20th January and 22nd January.
