Shell Malaysia marks 135th anniversary, with RM1.35 million worth of prizes to be won

Shell Malaysia marks its 135th anniversary this year with a renewed commitment to rewarding Malaysians, introducing great value offerings through its ‘Made for More’ campaign. To celebrate this milestone, Shell will be giving away RM1.35 million worth of prizes through a nationwide contest, designed to enhance customers’ everyday journeys.

From its beginnings as a kerosene trader, today, Shell Malaysia offers far more than fuel. Continuous innovations such as Shell FuelSave help Malaysians go further with every tank, while Shell V-Power brings race-proven performance from its long-standing Scuderia Ferrari HP Innovation Partnership to drivers nationwide. Shell has also expanded its high-performance Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network with Shell Recharge to support Malaysia’s growing EV community, while Shell Lubricants has been named the world’s No.1 Global Lubricants Supplier for 19 consecutive years.

Beyond fuel, Shell Malaysia continues to enhance the station experience through Shell Select and Shell Café, both designed to meet Malaysians’ everyday on-the-go needs. Customers can enjoy barista‑style coffee, freshly baked pastries, and a curated range of exciting food, beverages, and convenience essentials.

To mark its anniversary, Shell Select will be introducing a refreshed lineup of value‑for‑money offers across its range — from everyday essentials to ready‑to‑eat favourites — all designed to help customers get more with every visit. Leading this is the ‘Shell Select Ganjaran water2go Berjuta’, which brings an exciting “open & win” experience to Shell Select.

Running from 16th March to 10th May 2026, customers stand a chance to win a grand prize of RM135,000, alongside consolation prizes of up to RM13,500, and other exclusive rewards. Winners will be selected weekly and monthly throughout the contest period, giving customers multiple opportunities to take home prizes with every bottle of Water2Go purchased. Together, these initiatives reinforce Shell’s commitment to delivering better savings, convenience, and everyday experiences for Malaysians.

Seow Lee Ming, General Manager, Shell Mobility and Convenience Malaysia, said, “This anniversary is not just about how far we have come, but about reinforcing our commitment to keep moving forward with our customers and communities. ‘Made for More’ reflects how we continue delivering practical value, convenience, and experiences that help Malaysians get more out of every journey, today and into the future.”

After 135 years of growing together with Malaysia, Shell remains committed to being Made for More for Malaysians. As customer needs continue to evolve, Shell will keep innovating, expanding, and enhancing experiences to support better journeys and build lasting connections with communities across the country.

Honda Malaysia announce first two lucky winners of its 25th anniversary campaign

Honda Malaysia shared the joy of its 25th anniversary celebration with the announcement of the first two lucky winners of its “Because of You” campaign.

The prizes of a City Hatchback RS and a WR-V RS were presented at a special appreciation event.

The lucky winner of the City Hatchback RS, Mr. Chin from Perak, entered the contest after purchasing a Platinum White Pearl Civic RS.

He said, “Owning a Civic has always been my dream as I am captivated by its striking appearance and powerful performance that stays true to the Civic DNA. Receiving my new car was already exciting, but winning the City Hatchback RS on top of that makes it even more special. I was shocked when they called to inform that I won – I thought it was scam! Now, I can’t wait to take both my Honda cars out on the road and enjoy the different driving experiences each one has to offer.”

Ms. Ou, who purchased the CR-V as a family car could not be present to personally receive her prize, was presented by her husband, Mr. Liew Jeng Siong, who travelled all the way from Sarawak to claim her lucky draw prize, the WR-V RS.

She said, “I wanted an SUV that offers a complete package, such as comfort, spaciousness and elegant design. The moment I saw the CR-V, I knew it was the car for me and my family, and I booked it without hesitation. Little did I know that my new car would bring along its sibling to the family. I’m now the owner of not one, but two Honda SUVs, both perfectly suited for my family’s needs.”

The City Hatchback RS and WR-V RS are among the six grand prizes offered in conjunction with the Company’s 25th Anniversary “Because of You” Campaign lucky draw.
