The Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary SEA Tour Malaysia National Finals
The Hot
Wheels® 50th Anniversary SEA Tour Malaysia National Finals was held in Sunway
Pyramid, one of the 50 locations across 5 Southeast Asian countries. In the one
and a half months that led up to this, hundreds of teams of hopefuls came
together to compete for the right to represent Malaysia in the finals in tests
of speed, accuracy, and problem solving. With only ten of the best teams
remaining, it was bound to be an exciting day that would truly exemplify the
Hot Wheels® challenger spirit.

“At Mattel, we believe that play is more than a way to pass the time. Play is an essential tool for the healthy growth of children and the more involved a mother can be, the better off their child. With Hot Wheels®, we encourage children to embrace the challenger spirit that lives within each of them. The challenger spirit encourages them to face difficulties head on and to persevere through uncertainty - it’s a life skill that they can take with them for the rest of their lives,” said Ivan Franco, Country Manager of Mattel Southeast Asia.
The teams competed in two
age categories: 5-8 years old and 9-12 years old. The air was charged with
excitement as spectators cheered on their favourites, celebrating their
successes and empathising with their mishaps. The event was also graced by
influencers Dynas Mokhtar and Shaine Wong, who expressed their appreciation for
the way Hot Wheels® has given their children more critical thinking skills and
developed their confidence. The mums also shared how proud they were to get to
be a part of that learning process.

SEA Tour Grand Finals which will be held in December 2018 in Jakarta,
Indonesia.
“Eaden has shown a great interest in cars even from a very young age.His father and I have always encouraged him – but this is beyond anything we could have expected. Before this competition, I didn’t really know anything about cars or how he liked to play with them. I’m so grateful to Hot Wheels® for giving us this opportunity to engage with him and for me specifically to bond with him over one of his interests,” said Low Teng Teng, one half of the winning team from Category A at the Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary SEA Tour Malaysia National Finals.
