APOLLO MOON FLIGHT SHELL CONTEST

Still in pristine condition, the contest form consisted of 10 simple questions that required either true or false answers with an additional bonus point allocated for the most creative name for an imaginary spaceship. In total, 325 prizes were up for grabs in the competition that closed on Merdeka Day Aug 31, 1969. With only four prize categories that offered cash prizes of between $100 and $10, the contest gives a good idea of the relatively higher purchasing power of the Malaysian ringgit about half a century ago.
