How a youth who can't even drive yet won a RM180,000 BYD Seal in the BJAK Mega Giveaway 2025
Halimie Abdul from Rawang unexpectedly won a RM180,000 BYD Seal electric car before even finishing his driving lessons.
The life-changing surprise came through BJAK's 8.8 Mega Giveaway, which encouraged Malaysians to obtain free insurance quotes for a chance to win.
'I'm in the midst of completing my driving lessons and never imagined I would own a car so soon,' Halimie said.
'When I heard my name, I froze in disbelief. It was an overwhelming moment of joy that brought me to tears.'
Bigger than new gadgets and household items on the prize list, the EV grand prize has drawn headlines for its dramatic twist of fate.
The campaign attracted over 120,000 local entries and awarded 2,500 participants with free VIP services, including unlimited towing and extended coverage.
For Halimie, however, the only obstacle left is finishing his driving lessons before he can fully enjoy his new car.
He has already promised that his first official drive will be an unforgettable ride with his parents beside him.

JPJ grounds 270 luxury rides: Celebs and entrepreneurs hit, Ferraris, Lambos and Rolls-Royces seized
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — The Road Transport Department's (JPJ) 'Ops Luxury 3.0' has hit the streets hard, seizing 270 high-end rides nationwide over the past two weeks. According to The Star, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces were among the flashy machines caught being driven without valid road tax or insurance. JPJ director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the sweep snared celebrities, influencers and entrepreneurs, with some owing up to RM29,000 in back taxes. 'The seized cars include Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, with some of them still driven without road tax for about three years. 'In Johor alone, we detained 11 vehicles, including a car with an annual road tax of RM12,000. 'In Kuala Lumpur, the highest road tax arrears recorded was RM29,000,' he reportedly said at a press conference yesterday, as cited by The Star. Owners can only reclaim their luxury rides once all outstanding road tax, insurance, and summonses are cleared. 'Driving without a valid road tax and insurance puts not only other road users at risk, but also the driver themselves in the event of accidents,' Aedy Fadly warned. He added that the crackdown will soon expand to Sabah and Sarawak, promising more high-octane surprises in the months ahead.
