Hari Raya is upon us and those celebrating the holidays have been busy hustling and bustling to earn that extra duit raya during this festive season. Many brands have also organised various contests or games to give out cash prizes.
In case you haven’t heard, the Money Booth is also one of the ways people have tried to win some ‘easy money’, but imagine being disqualified after managing to catch a load of money. What happened, you asked? Here’s the story:
@darkcepet Bila main tangkap2 duit..Lepastu dibatalkan hasil tangkapan selepas duit dipeluk tu katanya tak ditangkap. Bukan rezeki kita la jawabnya.. #absolutebazaar #absolutebazaarxgaya #mitec #inspirasiraya
Over the weekend, a man who goes by @darkcepet on TikTok posted a video on his channel to share that he participated in the Money Booth challenge while attending the Absolut Bazaar held in the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). For those who may not be familiar with the rules, cash notes will be blown through the air and the participant has to catch as much bank notes as possible within the given time frame.
However, unfortunately for this man, he was disqualified as he was seen embracing the cash notes he managed to catch in his arms. As seen in the video, the organisers and emcees had to stop the participant from going any further. “Apparently, we weren’t supposed to hug the money. Guess I wasn’t blessed that day,” the TikToker captioned.
After the video went viral, netizens were not satisfied with how the game was organised. Many felt it was unfair for the man to not win the money he caught in his arms while they were flying through the air.

As seen in the screenshots above, some felt that Absolut Bazaar should not have set up the Money Booth game if they could not afford to add more money to the booth for other participants to try and win. Do you think it was fair?
