More than just luck: Meet the Malaysian who's been winning contests for 21 years
WE have all tried our luck at some point, a lucky draw, a radio contest, maybe even a social media giveaway, but let's be honest, most of us do not expect lightning to strike more than once. For one Malaysian man, however, luck is not just a passing moment, it's practically a way of life. Meet 39-year-old Faiz Aizuddin Azami, a man who has defied the odds and turned what began as simple curiosity into a full-blown lifestyle. Over the past 21 years, he has won more than 5,000 prizes, with a total value reaching into the millions of ringgit. What sounds like a dream to most is Faiz's everyday reality. From gadgets to holidays, cars to cash, he's taken home prizes so valuable that their combined worth could buy several low-cost homes. It may sound unbelievable, almost like a fantasy, but for Faiz, this is very much real life. 'I've been actively entering contests since 2004 right after SPM. My first big win was through a slogan-based SMS contest with DiGi, where I won 10 months' worth of salary, approximately RM48,000. 'That was a huge amount for a student like me at the time, and it truly changed the way I looked at contests. Since then, I've entered thousands and won over 5,000 prizes,' he said when contacted by Sinar Daily recently.

He now focuses full-time on educational motivation work and contesting, aiming to win at least 1,000 prizes a year, with a targeted value of RM100,000 annually. What started as a lucky break has become a rewarding lifestyle. Massive prize haul Among Faiz's most jaw-dropping wins was a luxury VIP holiday for ten people to four major theme parks in Los Angeles, complete with over RM100,000 in spending money. 'The most expensive prize I ever won was a two-week VIP trip for 10 people to four theme parks in California back in 2008. It came with cash too, the total value was around RM180,000. 'If I added up everything I've won since 2004, I reckon I could have bought a few low-cost houses by now,' he said. He shared that he took the holiday with his own group of friends, everything fully paid for. More recently, Faiz also won a brand-new Toyota Vios worth around RM91,000. But that's only scratching the surface. Over the years, Faiz has enjoyed all-expenses-paid holidays to the United Kingdom, Türkiye, France, Japan, Korea, and other international destinations, turning once-in-a-lifetime trips into something almost routine. In addition to luxury travel, Faiz has taken home RM24,000 in cash and an astonishing number of physical prizes, including ten 55-inch TVs, twenty refrigerators, and thirty washing machines. He has also won hundreds of home appliances, fom the latest smartphones and tablets to kitchen gadgets and electronics. One especially memorable win was a home renovation package worth over RM10,000. On the automotive front, Faiz has won eight motorcycles and two cars: a Proton X50 and a Mini Cooper. 'I once won a Mini Cooper worth RM235,000, but I shared that prize with six other friends. So, my share wasn't huge, but it's still a sweet memory,' he added. Many of these wins came from collaborations with fellow contest enthusiasts, showing not just his luck but also his skill in navigating the competition world. These prizes have brought him not only material rewards but unforgettable life experiences. Thanks to his contesting journey, Faiz has met global celebrities and sports icons, including Neymar, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, and Justin Bieber, moments that added extra sparkle to his winning story. Faiz also shared that sometimes the prizes he won weren't things he actually needed, or he already owned similar items. Instead of letting them gather dust, he chose to sell them and use the money for more important things, like covering expenses, supporting his family, or buils up his savings. 'It's practical, and it also helps to fund new contest entries,' he added.

He shared that he never joins a contest without first checking who the organiser is. If it's a well-known and trusted brand like Nestlé, P&G, or major banks, he feels more confident entering. 'But if a contest comes from a suspicious page, or asks for too much personal information like your full ID number or bank account details right away, I just skip it. That's a big red flag. 'Also, if they pressure you to DM quickly or click on strange links, I avoid it,' he said. If an agency is managing the contest, he will check their track record first. He also watches how influencers run their contests, if the announcements are vague or winners are never revealed, he becomes suspicious. He admitted that he has been promised prizes he never received before. When asked if he has ever been scammed, Faiz said no, but his mother was tricked early on. She fell for a fake contest claiming she'd won a big prize, a car, but had to pay a 'processing fee.' She paid around RM5,000 but ended up receiving just cheap mattresses and goods, after which the organisers disappeared without a trace. 'Since then, I've been much more careful and learned from that experience so I don't get scammed again,' he said. Tips for smart competing Faiz shared that he usually enters contests on his own, though he sometimes involves family members to boost his chances. Most of the competitions he joins are free, but some do require purchases, such as buying items from the supermarket and then submitting a receipt or slogan. He stressed that to win, participants need to understand the rules and develop their own strategies. For example, contests that reward the highest spenders with big prizes like cars require significant investment, while others are more about luck, with some first-time participants winning grand prizes unexpectedly. 'First, always read the terms and conditions carefully. A lot of people just submit without really understanding the rules. 'Next, for slogan-based contests, be original and emotional. Judges tend to favour lines that touch the heart or bring a smile. If creativity is needed, use wordplay, rhyme, or unexpected twists to stand out. 'And lastly, consistency. If you only join one contest, it's hard to win. But if you enter ten, your chances increase significantly,' he said. Faiz admitted that he hasn't always been lucky. He once spent tens of thousands on a contest and walked away with nothing. There were even times he won but never received the prize. Still, he has learned how to improve his odds and maintain consistency over time. For beginners, he suggested starting with simple contests like those that only require a comment and share, then gradually trying slogan or creative-based ones. He also reminded people to always read the terms, keep proof of entry, and most importantly, enjoy the process. According to him, this is a marathon, not a sprint, the prizes are just a bonus. Marathon, not a sprint Success doesn't come overnight or by chance; it is a process that demands effort, patience, and wisdom. For those interested in joining contests, it's important to approach it thoughtfully and strategically. As Faiz wisely puts it, this is a marathon, not a sprint, so take your time, be persistent, and play smart. Keep learning, stay consistent, and most importantly, enjoy the journey. With the right mindset and determination, you too can turn your luck into lasting success.

Outbound travellers in Sabah warned of risky payment terms
Liaw KOTA KINABALU (Aug 13): The Sabah Tour and Travel Agents Association (Satta) has cautioned the public about outbound travel packages that require unusually early and large payments. Satta president Datuk Seri Winston Liaw said certain groups are offering tours that demand a deposit followed by full payment 45 days before departure. 'Normally, payment is collected from tour members 30 days or three weeks before departure, and the full sum is paid to the agent only once the members arrive in the destination country,' he said on Tuesday. According to Liaw, the groups claim the money must be sent to China or Korea 45 days in advance but do not disclose the identity of the operator. 'In 45 days, they can already collect 50 per cent of the payment, and later the remaining balance. This could easily total RM100 million. It's risky because the cash flow is entirely in their hands,' he said. Liaw warned that there have been cases where travellers paid in full but found no arrangements upon arrival, often leading to lengthy legal disputes. 'I'm not against their promotional methods, but the payment system. I don't want Malaysians to be cheated. They have been doing this in Sarawak and West Malaysia, and now they seem to be eyeing Sabah,' he added. While stopping short of calling it a scam, Liaw urged caution and suggested requiring bank guarantees from operators using this payment method as a safeguard. 'It would instil more trust if bank guarantees are issued to each travel agent. This is a very important matter,' he said.

Sibu journalists get gadget vouchers, flight subsidies from association
SIBU: The Sibu Journalists Association (SJA) has rolled out two new welfare benefits for its members, including a RM250 gadget voucher and RM200 flight subsidy. SJA deputy chairman Mohamad Alhadi Shamsawi said the RM250 PC Image voucher will be distributed in 2026 to help journalists upgrade their work equipment. 'Many journalists use their own money to buy gadgets for assignments, so this initiative aims to ease their burden,' he said at the SJA Sibu Hawana 2025 Dinner. The RM200 subsidy is for members purchasing flight tickets under a Communications Ministry and AirAsia partnership offering 50% discounts to ASEAN destinations. 'If a discounted ticket costs RM400, members can claim RM200 cashback from SJA,' he explained. Alhadi also announced RM100 birthday 'angpao' for members born between July and December 2025, following a similar payout earlier this year. SJA introduced the Tokoh Wartawan SJA 2025 Award, honouring veteran journalists with a trophy and RM1,500 cash prize. This year's recipient is former Bernama correspondent Edward Subeng Stephen, who served in journalism for over 40 years. Alhadi said these efforts reflect SJA's commitment to supporting members' welfare regardless of their media organisation. - Bernama
