The pure 999 gold Dragon Sculpture, which is worth RM9,999 carries a ball symbolising the ‘pearl of power’ most often associated with wealth, good luck and prosperity in Chinese mythology

For Carlsberg drinkers, the Carlsberg CNY promotion has begun a gold rush worthy of the fabled pint.

The Carlsberg CNY promotion which gives away gold and other gifts worth more than RM4,888,888, started in December last year and has been receiving a substantial amount of response. To-date, four lucky Carlsberg consumers have won pure 999 gold Dragon Sculptures worth RM9,999 each and another 167 consumers across Peninsular Malaysia walked home with pure 999 gold pendants worth RM999 each.

The pure 999 gold pendant is worth RM999 each

Something as ordinary as a bottle cap is now valued almost as if it were precious gold. Ng Huat Chen from Kuala Lumpur was one of the lucky winners of Carlsberg’s gold pendant. “I remember hitting the jackpot by opening my first Carlsberg bottle, I felt so lucky! The joy of winning this prize should be shared among my group of friends with another Carlsberg!”

Lim Eng Wah, Northern Region Sales Manager of Carlsberg Malaysia; Loh Chun Meng from Penang, the first winner of the gold Dragon Sculpture; Toh Swee Huat, Area Sales Manager (Penang) of Carlsberg Malaysia

Many consumers have also won the exclusive limited edition Carlsberg Gold Pints that come in a special packaging. Consumers can participate when they purchase Carlsberg beer in big bottles from food courts, coffee shops, hawker centres across Peninsular Malaysia. To determine what type of gift they have won and can redeem, all they need to do is check the design printed inside the bottle cap.

A few more pure 999 gold dragon sculptures, hundreds of pure 999 gold pendants and thousands of limited edition Carlsberg Gold Pints are still up for grabs. This Carlsberg promotion is available until 6 February 2012 or while stocks last.

Consumers can anticipate more exciting CNY activities and promotions from Carlsberg starting from the first week of January 2012. To welcome the Year of the Dragon, Carlsberg is holding first-of-its-kind dragon performances and other related activities to spread positivity and happiness in various locations in the peninsular. Carlsberg, the most preferred brand in Malaysia, plans to make its Lunar New Year celebration with the Malaysian public the most auspicious, rewarding and unique one to-date.

While the average beer-lover could easily drink enough booze this CNY to make his or her own beerbottle dragon, it probably wouldn’t look as festive as what Carlsberg pulled off earlier this January.

To welcome the Year of the Dragon with a celebration befitting the auspicious occasion and the legendary creature of the year, Carlsberg took it to the historic Thean Hou temple, where it launched its Chinese New Year (CNY) national campaign this year.

The event saw the first-of-its-kind green ‘Flying Dragon’ that was specially designed to ignite vitality and bring prosperity in conjunction with the Year of the Dragon celebration. Measuring 118 feet in length, Carlsberg’s magnificent green ‘Flying Dragon’ took flight at the resounding Chinese cymbals and traditional drums, after the appearance of eight Fook Gods, a joint performance of eight lions and a dragon dance.

Carlsberg’s 2012 CNY tagline “Welcome the new year with the vigour of the dragon for an endless flow of prosperity” is complemented with a unique artistic creation of a dragon formed by hundreds of green Carlsberg bottles. The dragon, which features in the brand’s marketing campaign, comes complete with a pearl in its mouth, symbolising wealth, good luck, and prosperity in Chinese mythology.

Soren Ravn, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia said, “As the most preferred beer in Malaysia, Carlsberg is honoured to be a part of these happy occasions and moments. On the CSR contribution towards the Chinese community, Carlsberg Malaysia has, through its few fund raising projects, accumulated charity funds of RM409million for the development of Chinese schools and institutions.”

To add to the festivities, Carlsberg also presented a 15-feet tall giant dragon statue to complement the ‘Flying Dragon’. This one-of-its-kind majestic dragon statue is another symbolic representation of abundance and wealth. Pearl-like balls containing New Year messages will be released when one’s hand is placed inside the dragon’s mouth.

Inspired by the legendary creature, the rewarding prizes from Carlsberg’s CNY RM4,888,888 redemption promotion include eight pieces of pure 999 gold Dragon Sculptures worth RM9,999 each. Each Dragon Sculpture carries a ball symbolising the “pearl of power”.

Among the other promotional gifts are 888 pieces of pure 999 gold pendants worth RM999 each as well as 688,888 bottles of limited edition Carlsberg Gold pints that come in a special festive packaging for the CNY celebration. This Carlsberg promotion is available from now until 6^th February 2012 or while stocks last.

In the coming weeks, the country’s most preferred beer, Carlsberg will spread vitality and prosperity to consumers through its road shows covering key regional markets in Peninsular Malaysia. The road shows will include the appearance of the ‘Flying Dragon’, the giant dragon statue, Fook Gods and lion dance performances at the following locations:

Mister Potato, Manchester United’s global snack partner, recently brought Reds legend Gary Neville to Sunway Pyramid Mall to meet well-over a thousand starstruck fans. With an entire career spent in Old Trafford, Neville is of a rare loyal breed, and indeed a die-hard Manchester United player for die-hard Manchester United fans.

Neville hosted a quiz session with the crowd, shared with them his favourite Mister Potato Crisps flavour (Hot & Spicy), played several fun games with fans, and gave away autographed Manchester United jerseys as well as Mister Potato goodies. It was a memorable experience for everyone who came, especially towards the end when Neville endeared himself to the crowd by crying “Malaysia Boleh! Mister Potato Boleh!”
