Lorry driver wins Toyota Vellfire after 10-hour drive to Wira Day
KUALA NERUS: A lorry driver drove for 10 hours from Johor to Terengganu in his Proton Wira to attend the Wira Day 7.0 gathering at Stadium Permotoran Gong Badak yesterday.
In a 10-hour journey from Johor to Terengganu, lorry driver Mohd Supiyan Mazlan, 37, attended the Wira Day 7.0 gathering at Stadium Permotoran Gong Badak. Supiyan won the grand prize, a Toyota Vellfire, after purchasing six T-shirts worth RM540, which earned him six lucky draw coupons. The T-shirt purchase was unexpected, but Supiyan attended the event to spend time with fellow Proton Wira owners.
He expressed shock and gratitude, stating that the prize fulfilled his wife's wish for a larger vehicle for their growing family. With two young sons, Supiyan has no intention of selling the Vellfire, which he will use for family trips and outings. Wira Day organiser Ahmad Zukhairi Ariffin reported an increase in participation, with around 17,000 attendees compared to 15,000 in the previous year.
The event attracted first-time participants, including those without Proton Wiras, highlighting the programme's growing popularity and ability to unite people from diverse backgrounds.
