Md Ali Tahir was all smiles when he discovered he had won the grand prize in NBT Toyota’s recent Meriah Ria campaign – a brand new Toyota Vios.
The 79-year-old’s joy was especially clear given that he had purchased another Vios just this February, a testament to his long-standing loyalty to the Toyota brand.Â
Now, with two of the same model in his possession, Md Ali said that his second Vios would be shared among his family members, including his 24 grandchildren, who he proposed could take turns using it.
“I’ve always been a fan of Toyota,” he said, adding that his first Toyota was the Cressida.
The moment marked a thrilling conclusion to Toyota’s vibrant Meriah Ria campaign, which wrapped up in February with a grand draw event held at the Toyota Beribi Showroom.
The campaign was launched as a token of appreciation for customer loyalty, giving participants the chance to win exciting rewards and kick off the year with a winning start.
Customers who purchased any Toyota model between 1 February and 28 February 2026 were entered for a chance to win attractive shopping vouchers valued from $500 to $3,000 and a Toyota Vios as the grand prize.
Prior to the grand draw, a pre-draw event was conducted via Instagram live on 10th March 2026 to shortlist 11 finalists from hundreds of participants. The grand draw ceremony itself began with a doa recital to bless the occasion and was witnessed by NBT Brunei’s legal advisor, Ikhwan Hirwana from LZ Hussain & Co.
The event featured two rounds of selection. In the first round, 11 names were drawn by Md Clovien bin Abdullah Timpoh, Vice President of Inchcape Brunei. Each participant then selected a ball from a pool filled with ketupats, revealing their prizes together. Four winners—Aileen Rodora De Mesa Abueg, Mohd Azery bin Haji Jalil, Ramilah binti Rais, and Razali bin Hassim—each received shopping vouchers worth $500.
Three more winners—Norasidah binti Maidin, Abdul Kafi bin Amanuddin, and Suziyanti binti Haji Mohammad Saidi—took home vouchers valued at $1,000. The remaining four participants advanced to the final round, with prizes presented by Md Clovien bin Abdullah Timpoh.
In the final round, the remaining four participants had their names drawn again by Haji Ahmad Omar bin Haji Husin, President of Inchcape Brunei, to determine the order. After each finalist chose from a selection of green packets, they revealed their prizes together. Mohammad Nasiruddin bin Nordin secured fourth place and a $1,500 shopping voucher, while Joeykie Anak Jangan took third place and a $2,000 voucher.
Dushyanti Zainal Abidin claimed second place and a $3,000 voucher. Ultimately, the grand prize winner, Md Ali bin Tahir, drove away with a Toyota Vios. The final prizes were presented by Haji Ahmad Omar bin Haji Husin.
Building on this momentum, Toyota will continue offering exciting rewards and customer-focused initiatives in the coming months, strengthening its bond with the community and enhancing the ownership journey. As part of its ongoing festive offerings, customers can still enjoy a wide range of promotions under the Raya Specials running until 31 March 2026.
These include the Meriah Ria Raya Campaign, where one lucky winner will take home the grand prize of a Toyota Rush, along with shopping vouchers worth up to $11,500. Additionally, customers can take advantage of the Triple Meriah Deals, which offer a three-reward bundle consisting of a gold bar, home appliances, and a mystery gift for selected models such as the Toyota Innova, Camry HEV, and GR86.
Exceptional instalment savings are also available across several models, including two months free instalments and complimentary tint for the Fortuner, Corolla Altis, Vios, Raize 1.0, and Yaris Cross ICE; four months free instalments for the Wigo and Rush; five months free instalments for the Veloz; and six months free instalments for the Corolla Cross High, GR Yaris, and Raize 1.2.
