Caught red-handed

Posted: 09 Sep 2011 03:25 AM PDT

IT was a fun and exciting game of grown-up catch for Khor Thong Soon, the first winner of Red FM's Runaway DJs, when he tracked down one of the deejays in this exciting month-long hunt.

With the opportunity to win a brand new Proton Inspira, this lucrative contest had participants racing against time as they tried to decipher clues given on air and online that would lead them to the Red FM deejays at different locations each day.

The first person to turn up and identify the deejay wins a cash prize in addition to a key to enter the final for a chance at winning the car. Following these clues, Khor turned up at the Proton headquarters in Shah Alam, Selangor, for his chance to be in the running to win his first ever car.

Meanwhile, being on the other end of the hunt was just as exhilarating for Fiqrie as he was the first deejay to be "caught". Having done stints in modelling, acting, voiceovers, emceeing and sports commentating, the multi-talented Fiqrie hosts weekend segments on Red FM. With his cheerful and spontaneous personality, Fiqrie is the ideal host in keeping listeners company as they chill out over the weekend. If you have any song requests or dedications, call him up (% 03-7728 1049) as he's more than delighted to receive your calls.

Clues of the Red FM's Runaway DJs whereabouts will be given out every hour on air, through Red FM's Facebook Fan page as well as Twitter from Monday to Friday. Bonus prizes such as iPad 2s and iPod Nanos will be given out at designated times to make the search even more rewarding. You can also pick up the much sought after key from the Red Ryders as they join in the fun. The Red Ryders will be giving out special car stickers in conjunction with the hunt. Grab one from them to paste it on your car and if they spot your car, they will hand you a key.
