UMW Toyota Sdn Bhd (UMWT), the official distributor of Toyota in Malaysia would like us to announce that two young and bright Malaysian children were selected out of 830,000 entries from 79 countries all over the world in Toyota Dream Car Art Global Contest that was held in Japan recently. 7 year old, Miss Choo Han Yean, and Miss Lim Xiao Yun, 11 years of age (who won the silver award) were selected after the Malaysian round and represented our country over in Japan, doing us proud.
Toyota Dream Car Art contest was first introduced in 2004 to give children around the world the opportunity to feel the importance of having a dream and an occasion to develop their interest in cars. In the case of Miss Lim (pictured above- second from left), her dream car artwork was under the theme “My Save Our Earth Dream Car” which had the aim of protecting the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Wow, what a dream.
I kinda liked her remarks. She stated that “Without the protection of the ozone layer, biodiverse life will not be possible on earth but my dream car will protect the ozone belt. Our earth also faces other threats, but my
dream car with its futuristic technology will divert meteorites and waste material falling off from the sky.”. Ambitious. Very ambitious.
Anyway, congratulations is in order. Especially since coming out tops against 830,000 people is a big feat, especially if you're seven and eleven. Hey, 7-11.
So if any of you are parents to children who you think have talent, the Dream Car Art Contest 2018 will be introduced very soon, and interested participants can be on the look out for the announcement via UMW Toyota Motor’s website and facebook account by early November 2017.
