Malaysia's national petrol company – Petronas has recently launched a Saya Anak Malaysia
(direct translation: I am Son of Malaysia) contest to celebrate the country's 50th Independence Day.
The contest is fully on paper, in which a form is given for every 20 bucks spent on petrol. For example, if I pumped RM50 petrol, then I get 2 forms. Like other common contests, we have to provide answers for few questions then a slogan!
The answers for the 5 questions are
C A D E B
and the slogan?
As a Malaysian, I have learned that ….
The answer is limitless ^_^ (depending on which way you think).
Anyway, my main purpose mentioning this is that, they want the contest forms to be posted. You see the problem? Say I have accumulated 30 forms (easily get >RM600 petrol for the 2 month contest durations), you know how much stamps and envelopes we need? And there are easily people who got >100 forms!
Why didn't they have the environmental sense? Isn't it easier if the contest forms can be submitted to the petrol stations? And why not make it a web contest in which you enter the receipt number as unique ID? How many trees were chopped down for this nationwide contest?
As usual, no answers are expected.
Editted:
Shell has recently launched a similar contest, in response to Petronas' campaign. However, they are more environment friendly - they allow people to submit the contest forms via petrol stations! Why didn't Petronas think of that?
