Fahmi, Taufiq go from cabinet by day to runners by Sunday
KUALA LUMPUR: Cabinet by day, runners by Sunday - two ministers swapped the meeting room for a 5km morning run today.
On a Sunday morning in Kuala Lumpur, two Cabinet ministers traded their meeting rooms for a 5km run. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil and Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari participated in the event, which started at 7am. Fahmi, who represents Lembah Pantai in Parliament, used the run as an opportunity to connect with his constituents and observe the area.
He expressed his support for turning the event into an annual occurrence, particularly as the nation celebrates National Month. Taufiq, on the other hand, joked about giving Fahmi a slight edge on the final lap, emphasizing the event's role in promoting a healthier lifestyle and unity among Malaysians. The run was organized by Media Prima Club in partnership with Media Prima Bhd's News and Current Affairs division, and sponsored by Oxyenergy Health Sdn Bhd.
The event included both 3.5km and 5.5km categories, with representatives from various media outlets in attendance.
