In conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014, Tourism Malaysia is organising a contest, offering the car and other attractive prizes to attract more tourists from Indonesia to Malaysia.
The Director General of Tourism Malaysia Dato’ Mirza Mohammad Taiyab launched the “Go More to Malaysia & Drive a Proton Home” contest at the Kempinski Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia, today.

“Through this contest, Indonesians stand a chance to win a Proton Preve car. This is the first time a tourism body gives away such a prize,” he added.
The contest aims to help local tour agents to attract more Indonesians to buy tour packages to Malaysia, as well as to increase awareness of the VMY 2014 campaign amongst travellers from this market.
In his speech, Dato’ Mirza also thanked the tourism trade players and the Indonesian media for their cooperation and support in promoting Malaysia in Indonesia.
