FUSO Diamond Contest Reward Precious Treats For A Homegrown Entrepreneur

It certainly was a night to remember for 2016 FUSO Diamond Grand Prize winner, Puan Noraini Binti Abdul Haris of I Aini Brilliance Enterprise. The first-time FUSO brand customer and homegrown entrepreneur took home the coveted Grand Prize of a brand new Mercedes-Benz C200 car, an all-expenses paid trip to Japan, a visit to the FUSO Kawasaki Plant and Research & Development Center in Japan, and service vouchers worth RM6,000.

This year marked the 4th year of the FUSO Diamond Contest, organised by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Commercial Vehicles (MBM CV), the authorised distributor of FUSO trucks in Malaysia. The contest comprised of a mini draw, which received 885 entries, held in July 2016, and culminated with the Grand Final Draw, which received an additional 1,478 entries. Randomly drawn from a pool of entries comprising FUSO customers nationwide, Puan Noraini Binti Abdul Haris was taken totally by surprise upon learning that she had won the FUSO Diamond Grand Prize.

The entrepreneur, who operates a logistics business with her husband, was pleasantly surprised by the rewarding outcome that resulted from her decision to purchase their first FUSO truck 9 months ago. “Being a new FUSO customer, we did not expect to be as the Grand Prize Winner out of all the participants. The nature of our business involves us transporting goods based on rental services. We need our trucks to be in working order at all times and this is why we were convinced by FUSO’s track record,” said Puan Noraini.

“Keeping our trucks working smoothly is important to help us meet our customers’ needs, and in turn help grow our business. We decided to go for a FUSO truck because it gave us value for money and we believe the after-sales service is very reliable. I personally feel that after sales service is very important to maximize vehicle up time. We look forward to hopefully grow our fleet of trucks if the company’s business is good,” Puan Noraini added.

26 other lucky winners also took home attractive prizes during the gala dinner. The first, second, third and fourth prize winners each took home an all-expenses paid trip to Japan, which includes a visit to the FUSO Kawasaki Plant and Research & Development Center, as well as service vouchers worth RM5,000, RM4,000, RM3,000 and RM2,000 respectively. Additionally, 10 more lucky FUSO customers took home a consolation prize of service vouchers worth RM2,000 each, while 12 other lucky FUSO customers each received service vouchers worth RM1,000.

The 2016/2017 FUSO Diamond Contest received entries from FUSO truck owners for vehicles registered between 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016. Since its inception in 2006, MBM CV has received more than 8,000 entries for the FUSO Diamond Contest.
