In concurrence to the 59-day mega sale carnival (5 July to 1 September 2008), the contest provides opportunity to both local and international tourists to win great prizes, and vouchers to be used during the sale.

“Malaysia is a shopping haven and we are very excited to show-off how much our country has to offer,” said Rohizam Md Yusoff, Chief Executive Officer of VirtualMalaysia.Com.

“We want to rewarding patrons of VirtualMalaysia.com in a fun and enjoyable way; that’s why we came up with Tag the Bag, a game that both young and old can enjoy.”
