KIX HD (Astro Ch. 729), the ultimate destination for action entertainment, crowned Benny Yeoh as the victor of R U Tough Enough? Man Versus Woman Edition, in the nationwide search for Malaysia’s Toughest.

Ten contestants had to go through a series of physically demanding and emotionally enduring challenges, to determine who is the tougher gender. Benny Yeoh from #TeamKeith successfully defeated nine other contestants in the toughest gender battle of 2016, and walked away with the coveted title of “Malaysia’s Toughest” and a grand prize of RM30,000.

Benny managed to outdo Michelle from #TeamLinora and eight other finalists in the six stage obstacle course challenge at Orange Concourse, Sunway Pyramid on the 4th June 2016.

Speaking after the final showdown, Benny said:

“I believe that toughness isn’t defined by gender or physical strength, but it is about how strong you can hold on and persevere till you get to the finish line. Trust me, it was not easy, especially with such powerful and strong contenders from #TeamLinora present today to provide the challenge of a lifetime.”

“I am so impressed with the finalists competing at the final showdown today, especially those on my team. They have stepped up at the competition and are unafraid to challenge gender stereotypes.”
