Malaysian Embassy In Bangkok Organises 'Walk With Ambassador' To Promote Healthy Lifestyle

BANGKOK, Aug 10 (Bernama) – The Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok organised a “Walk with Ambassador” at the Lumphini Park here Sunday to promote a healthy lifestyle and interact with fellow Malaysians residing here. Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand Jojie Samuel said the idea was mooted by Silva Kumar, a Malaysian residing in Bangkok. “The embassy thought it was a good idea to do the walk as part of a healthy exercise, aside from giving the opportunity for the embassy to interact with fellow Malaysians. “We want to make this a regular event where adults and children join in the fun walk,” he told Bernama. About 40 staff and their family members, as well as Malaysians residing in Bangkok, participated in the fun walk. To promote “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life”, Jojie said, the embassy will hold the annual games between the Sports and Welfare Association of the embassy and Kelab Malaysia of Thailand (KMT) in September as part of Merdeka (Independence Day) and Malaysia Day celebrations. The games proposed are badminton, bowling and table tennis, he said. “We will be organising Kayuhan Merdeka on Aug 17 to launch the Merdeka Month celebration at the Happy and Healthy Bike Lane at Suvarnabhumi Airport,” he said. -- BERNAMA
