KUALA LUMPUR, 7 April 2010 – Loyal customers of the Tune Group of Companies recently became special guests at the ‘Lotus Racing Homecoming’ celebration held at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping centre, where they had the privilege to get up close and personal with Lotus Racing drivers Jarno Trulli, Heikki Kovalainen and Fairuz Fauzy.

Graced by our Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Youth & Sports Minister Dato’ Ahmad Shabey Cheek, the celebration was held to officially welcome Lotus Racing to Malaysia, ahead of the Petronas Malaysian GP in Sepang last weekend.

The event at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur was open to all visitors but Tune Money loyal cardholder Yap Meow Sun and Tune Insurance subscriber Brendan Lee as well as loyal customers of Tune Hotels.com and Tune Talk were among the lucky few to be given a VIP treatment to meet and greet with the drivers. They went home with goodies like caps, posters and postcards from Lotus Racing, autographed by the drivers.

Tune Money CEO Joyce Lai who was present during the celebration, said: “It is such a rare opportunity to catch the drivers in person and as a partner of Lotus Racing, we wanted to share this special occasion with our top loyal customers. At Tune Group it is about giving our customers the best value, both tangible and intangible, and I am sure this special event today is something that will be very memorable for everyone. It’s part of our reward for their loyalty and support.”
