Fruitful hunt on wheels
THE participants of the 16th Annual Motoring Treasure Hunt from Penang to Songkhla had a whale of a time during their overnight stay at the beach paradise in Thailand.
Themed ‘Charity Hunt with a Heart’ and organised by the Bayan Baru Welfare Association, the event saw 50 cars taking part and the participants managed to raise RM60,000 for charity.
Association chairman Heng Yak Hoi, who was also organising chairman, said the money, which came from many kind donors, would be channelled to its Welfare, Education, Medical and Disaster Relief Fund.
Event organising secretary Chai Tsing Boo said the participants reached Songkhla around 4pm on Sept 29.
“We also announced the winners of the event and held a Baba Nyonya Dress competition during the dinner held at the Pavilion Hotel where the winners were awarded cash and vouchers totalling RM5,350, and trophies.”
He said the next morning, the participants checked out of the hotel and went to the beach, adding that some of them drove to Haadyai for shopping before heading home.
