KANGAR, April 30 – A Year Three primary school pupil was pleasantly surprised when he won a Peugeot 408 2.0 sponsored by Naza Automotive Manufacturing Sdn Bhd as the main lucky draw prize in the Perlis Marathon lucky draw here today.

The Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail presented the prize to Muhammad Farhan at the Syed Putra Jamalullail Stadium, here today.

"I have never won any lucky draw prizes and this is my first participation in such a big event. I do not know how to drive and my father has passed away, I guess I will give the prize to my brother,” Muhammad Farhan, the nine-year-old who is active in sports and had represented his school in athletics and the youngest in the family of six siblings told reporters.

The son of a tailor in Kodiang, Kedah said he did not intend to sell the car but to share it with the whole family.
