We already know that Malaysians are a talented bunch, but we never get tired of celebrating the triumphs of our fellow countrymen.

Two Malaysians, Chong Jia Wai and Baki Zainal, recently won the GoPro million dollar challenge.

Sharing the prize pool

They were two of the 45 winners who will be sharing the USD1 million (RM4.12 million) prize money, which comes to about RM91,600 each once converted.

Nice!

GoPro released a two-minute-seventeen-second video highlighting clips captured by the winners and it's pretty darn amazing.

But before you watch it, let us just warn you that it'll make you want to send in your resignation and go do something adventerous and exciting.

You can catch Jia Wai's clip, reportedly shot at the Elmina Valley Park in Shah Alam, around the 0:36 mark, while Baki's clip, shot at the Escape Theme Park in Penang, can be seen at the 1:27 mark.

The main purpose of the whole challenge is to promote GoPro cameras, of course, and we have to say they definitely have the right idea.

We hope that there will be more such opportunities that our local talents will take advantage of in the future.

Congratulations Jia Wai and Baki Zainal!
