YES & PROTON to provide high-speed connectivity on the go
KUALA LUMPUR, 15 August 2012 - The 'Win Malaysia's First 4G Internet Car' contest came to a gripping
end at the YTL Network Operation Centre in Sentul, as the top three winners of the Facebook contest that ran from 23rd
February to 27th March, 2012 were announced.
The contest gave participants a chance to win a one-of-a-kind, special edition Yes 4G Internet-enabled Proton Inspira
