Let Your Fingers Win Something For You
By CT Hj Mahmod

Bandar Seri Begawan - With the advances in technology in today's telecommunications, mobile users can stimulate their mind and 'fingers' through MCQ Quiz and Fast Finger, a competition, where you could let your finger do the talking and walk away with a grand prize of B$500.

Because of good response for the first trial competition on April 6, during the one day DST Dare Challenge, Mach Telecommunications Systems is giving the games another go. The games will begin, therefore on April 9 and end in April 30.

Winners of the previous fast finger challenge were Dyg Hjh Hamizah bte Hj Suhaimi who took home $500, Dyg Hjh Aizan bte Hj Ahmad who won B$200, and B$100 went to Ms Coral Lim. Whereas, Awg Mohd Sofian bin Hj Abas won 1st place for the MCQ Quiz, Awg Shahiroldini bin Hj Masli won 2nd place and 3rd place went to Awg Hj Shahruddin bin Hj Abdul Wahid.

Fast finger is a game that tests the player's speed of typing in an SMS message, where the player has to first request for a phrase by sending in an SMS - 'FF GO', and send it to the number 8885555. Then the player is required to type in the phrase accurately and as fast as possible, in sending the SMS. The time it takes for the player to send in the message will be recorded.

MCQ on the other hand, is an advanced quiz engine that tests the player on all sorts of multiple-choice questions using the SMS platform. It challenges by just typing 'MCQ GO' and sending it to 8885555. The player will then receive a series of multiple-choice questions, which can be answered by simply sending in A, B, C, or D.

Mach Telecommunications System hopes to bring in more games in the future which will be 'different and stimulating .'

The SMS fast finger challenge and MCQ quiz are open to everyone who are Prima or Easi subscribers of DST Communications Sdn. Bhd. To participate, all you have to do is type 'FF GO' or 'MCQ GO' and sent it to 8885555 (30 cents for each SMS received). For further queries, the public may contact 2238628.
