Malaysians are justifiably proud of our athletes in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Eight of our exceptional athletes returned home as heroes, with a total medal haul of four silver and one bronze medals.
In conjunction with the return of these #WiraMalaysia, XOX Mobile rewarded them with RM 315,000 in cash rewards. They also gave their hardworking coaches separate cash rewards to reward them for their great work that is often forgotten.
Check out the video we recorded during that event. We are all so proud of our #WiraMalaysia!
