The best places to go

The best places to go
Sunday May 27, 2007

FROM the various beautiful islands and hill resorts around the country to shopping complexes and even Pizza Hut restaurants, there were certainly a wide variety of destinations students love to visit in Malaysia.

Entries for the C4R: The Place to Go contest proved that islands like Langkawi, Redang and Tioman were the most popular destinations, followed closely by Taman Negara, hill resorts like Cameron Highlands and Genting Highlands, as well as Kuala Lumpur.

Other entries highlighted lesser-known attractions like Rawa Island in Johor and the fireflies in Nibong Tebal, Penang.

Some students proved that there's no place like home with their favourite destinations being their kampung or grandma's house.

A special thanks goes out to English teacher P. Vinothani for sending in the highest number of entries for this contest – 64 entries from her school, SMK Seksyen 1 Bandar Kinrara, Selangor.

Although we received many creative and convincing entries, unfortunately, we can only award the best 15 students with Pizza Hut vouchers worth RM100 (see table).

Congratulations to the winners! Look out for your Pizza Hut vouchers in the mail.

This is the final monthly contest organised by Star-NiE and Pizza Hut for the year. The focus now shifts to our annual nationwide contest, Campaign 4 Rewards (C4R) 2007, which was launched on May 8.

More delicious pizzas and great prizes await both students and teachers in this contest!
