MyFest 2015 carries on the momentum of Visit Malaysia Year 2014 and is intended to give visitors a magical holiday experience and invite them to participate in the various festivals celebrated by Malaysia’s colourful multiracial communities, as well as the other colourful events that are help to promote the country’s rich treasure trove of attractions.
The Proboscis Monkey is the official mascot of Visit Malaysia Year 2014 and with the upcoming MyFest 2015, it is again designated as the official mascot. An endangered species that is a truly ecological treasure and native to the heartland of Borneo (East Malaysia), the Proboscis Monkey possesses some of the most unique qualities that set its biological and physical features apart from other primates. The selection of the Proboscis Monkey is apt for MyFest 2015 as it represents Malaysia's rich biodiversity, fascinating wildlife, rainforest conservation and environmental sustainability efforts.
The Proboscis Monkey Mascot Name Contest runs from 1 – 27 October 2014 and offers a Grand Prize of RM5,000 cash as well as exciting consolation prizes to the top 11 winners who suggest the best names for the mascot.
