09 Jun 08 100 days 100 cars. Yes, you can win! Believe me!
So this so-great telco company called Celcom make another contest! It’s 100 days 100 cars. You may have viewed its advertisement on the tv, heard it on the radio, read it on the internet, sms, mms… Or even you friend manage to sms you to told you that the contest is really interesting.
Who care right ?
I care. I want a new car. And Toyota Camry seems good for me. So I enter the contest. I have been forewarned that each sms will cost RM 5. Yes, freaking RM 5!
So I type in anyway. I may have read it wrongly, as I dont keep its sms. It just like they said that you answer around 10 question and stand a chance to win the car. So I figure it out 10 question X RM 5 = RM 50. Fair enough, I reload RM 100 into my celcom prepaid.
And off I go to answer all the easy question, and without knowing how much I’ve been answering, my collected point is up to 10,000++ already. And when I check my balance, what is left is RM 4.XX. Oh no! I must’ve been answering not less than 20 questions already, and I’m not a winner.
I spend my RM 100, all of it on Celcom 100 Days 100 Cars Contest. So let say per day there is at least 50 person like me who enter this contest with RM 100 credit balance (or bill), and answered it religiously until figure out that it’s such a waste to spend more than RM 100, then only stop. So… 20 question X RM 5 = RM 100. Times 50 person = RM 5,000. Times 100 days = RM 500,000. That is around 5 Toyota Camry. I guess.
So I’m just assuming that only 50 person per day that enter and not win the contest. It must be more! So what Mufti Perlis said that the contest is HARAM, is quite right. Though I’m not fully agree with him on the other matters. (Plus Mufti Perlis seems to be quite popular nowadays compared to the old one :))
Let just say all sms contest is just wasting your time, your money, your hard work, everything. The one that profit from the contest is the Telco itself, the contest organiser and even Toyota for free pomoting their Toyota Camry. Shame on you Toyota!

u’re absolutely correct! but it was a little bit late for me to realised it…burnt hundreds of bucks!
if you wanna win u gotto put extra works meaning extra money, extra effort and extra points. carl lewis won 4 gold medals in olympic 1984 not just merely standing and do nothing. he worked hard and he won. Azizi Ali is a millionaire today after 5 years of savings and investments. He is not an overnite millionaire.
So…if you wanna win…you got to bid more…to got more points …to be qualify in the final…..
thats what i did…. and I have already won my camry….
it is “indirect gamble”.
it’s HARAM. CELCOM pls stop this game.
tks.
To Azlan Dell, congrats on ur winning, but I stand by my words, it’s wasting time for me. And winning Gold Medal is not a comparison for winning camry by spending money… nor does being a millionaire is also in the same boat as winning camry by wasting money on sms.
JAKIM say stop the contest, yet I still receive the sms from celcom stating that I can win camry tonight after answering the question (and another, and another and another for God knows how much!)
So unless Celcom did state how many question do we have to answer, I would say the contest is HARAM. You join the contest, you dont know how many question should you answer, there is like infinite question, you just go on and on and on. And on and on and on the money goes into Celcom.
i’ve tried that to.i spend 1 whole night to sms the answers, then in the morning my line was barred. then next day celcom rep. called me and told me that my current bill is now RM1400.hahaha….damn..so maybe this is the best time for me to consider leave celcom and move to digi.hehe
Damn it, it spent over RM 600 and collected over 120,000 points and all i got is the bill from CELCOM.
pls do not trust this stupid contest , anyhow goverment stop d contest last week 13
me spent more then thousand ..and lastly i’m not d winner …really disappointed
god ! willing to sue d company and toyota useless
unless if i pay d money for downpayment is really worth but nw nothing
myself? much worth.. spent over RM1500!! for whole month, i guess “makan loti looo”!!! isk isk isk
i spend my money nearly RM 1000…my postpaid number has been barred due to the over limit used…and i have collected over 1,000,000 points….still i’m not the winner…juz nw…i’ll keep waiting info from goverment about this contest…
This contest is totally bullshit. I earned thousands of points and the questions kept on coming. Quote: ‘You are close to win your dream car’ was a trap. The next day, I was barred to make a call because of the outstanding bill for nothing! They should know that I am a loyal celcom user. I’ve been using celcom for more than 10 years and this what I get? fuck to all celcom motherfuckers!!!
yaaa… i aslo already finish almost 2k….huh baik buat bayar installment keta lebih baik…this contest totally buuuullllll SHITTTTTT!!!!! GOTO HELLL LAAA HARAM BEB…MAKAN DUIT JE..TAU LA BYK HUTANG!!!!100DAYS 100 BULSHIT….
