A former pilot for the Royal Malaysian Air Force could hardly believe his luck when he was announced as the winner of a RM1 million prize at Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) Sijil Simpanan Premium draw.
The lucky man was 53-year-old Mohd Azhar Mohd@Man, who had been saving with BSN since 2000 and is still reeling with shock from the pleasant surprise.
Ex-M’sian Royal Air Force pilot wins RM1mil
Speaking to Sinar Harian about his unexpected win, Mohd Azhar, who was formerly Commanding Officer of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) in Kuching, Sarawak, said he thought it was a hoax when he was named the winner.
At first, I thought it was a scam and wasn’t excited until I was contacted by an officer from the BSN’s headquarters and its Alor Setar branch last Monday. It was at that point only did I believe it.
“I also believe that the reason for me getting this windfall was due to me helping an ustaz pay a contractor who had built a fence for an Islamic school which cost RM5,000.
“At that time, the person who intended to donate the fence had just passed away. I only had RM1,000 with me but immediately transferred the amount to pay for it from my bank account,” he said.
Intends to share winnings & pay off debts
When asked what he plans to do with the RM1 million winnings, Mohd Azhar said he’s looking to share it with his wife and children in the form of savings as well as use it to repay his debts.
He also added that he will donate a part of his winnings to charity along with performing the umrah.
Congratulations to Mohd Azhar for winning RM1 million and we hope it will be put to good use!
