Under the theme "Deserve to Be Seen," 25 finalists from five countries showcase the skills and dedication behind everyday comfort.

FOSHAN, China, Nov. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea brought together 25 of ASEAN's air-conditioning installers for the 2026 Midea Club Flash Installation Tournament (MCFIT) Grand Final, celebrating the expertise and dedication behind everyday comfort.

Under the theme "Deserve to Be Seen," Season 2 gathered finalists from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia to demonstrate their technical skills, precision and professionalism on a regional stage. Beyond the competition, it created opportunities for installers to share their stories and gain broader recognition.

MCFIT Showcases Installation Expertise and Crowns Champions

The Grand Final tested speed, accuracy and attention to detail. Malaysia swept the top three places: ANG TIONG HOCK won the "Master of Speed" title and USD 5,000, NGOH KUAN SIANG earned runner-up honors, and LUI KHER SZE secured third place. Malaysia was crowned the National Honor Award after its five finalists achieved the highest cumulative score, sharing USD 5,000.

Across three rounds, finalists connected wires and pipes, reassembled panels and submitted installation records via the Midea Club app. Season 2 introduced outdoor-unit connection tasks that reflected the demands of real-world installation work, while quality errors incurred time penalties. These challenges tested accuracy, consistency and careful execution as much as speed.

JHON PAUL M.REGALA from Philippines said, "After 10 years as an installer, I still check every connection before leaving a customer's home. MCFIT gives me the chance to represent my country, learn from peers and show people the skill behind our work. Recognition for our daily work means a lot."

New public voting invited families, friends and customers to support installers. Each country's top vote-getter was named an "MCFIT Most Popular Flash Star" and invited to watch the final.
