With 179 submissions, the contest stood out as a celebration of family bonds, far beyond the usual social media trend. It evolved into a tribute to the passage of time and the enduring bonds between parents and children. Some recreated faded photos, while others dug up casual moments at home, reimagined decades later. The stories behind each photo added layers of warmth, some funny, some tearful but they all brought back genuine moments of parental love.
Fond memories, grand prizes
Another grand prize winner James Lin Tzy Lun, 29, from Batu Caves, won a pair of return AirAsia flights from Kuala Lumpur to Pattaya, Thailand, for his emotional recreation of a childhood photo. In the throwback, one-year-old Lin is cradled in his 26-year-old father’s arms. Decades later, in a touching reversal of roles, 29-year-old Lin now carries his 54-year-old father on his back, smiling wide. The gesture is mirrored by a heartfelt caption: “You were the one who carried me then. Now, it is my turn to carry you toward a better future.” Lin recalled moments such as his father taking a salary advance to buy him a laptop for university, proof that love does not always need words. Sometimes, it is shown through quiet, powerful acts.
The prize list did not end there. Participants stood a chance to win from a generous pool of rewards worth over RM50,000, including the Applecrumby Essentials Set, PS1 and PS2 tickets to Daesung’s “D’s Wave” 2025 Asia Tour in Malaysia, a Vivo V50 Lite smartphone and Vivo TWS 3e earbuds, 2D1N stays at Lost World of Tambun Floating Villa and Sunway Lagoon Villas (for two adults), SWS Family Chicken Essence and home appliances consisting of the Tefal Duo Power JF4031 and Tefal Delirice Max Rice Cooker RK7778.
Last year’s campaign, held in conjunction with Mother’s Day, saw the launch of the Super Mom Contest, celebrating mothers through love and storytelling. Participants were invited to share a meaningful photo with their mum alongside a heartfelt message on Facebook and in return, theSun rewarded winners with prizes worth RM30,000.
To view the full list of winners, visit theSun’s official Facebook, Instagram or TikTok pages and a big thank you to all participating sponsors for making this contest possible.
Whether or not they walked away with prizes, each participant walked away with something arguably more valuable – the chance to relive a cherished memory and create a new one in its place.
