In conjunction of the National Sports Day of Malaysia 2017, the Embassy of Malaysia organized a sports activity at the Chancery of the Embassy of Malaysia on Saturday, 14 October 2017. The objective of this national sports initiative is to transform Malaysia into a sporting nation by inculcating healthy lifestyle among its officials, staff and their family members. Some Malaysians in Peru also joined in this yearly event.
The sports event commenced with a warm-up session of Zumba led by two local staffs of the Embassy in the accompaniment of local Latin popular songs. After the warm-up, the participants broke up into smaller groups to carry out their own favorite sports activities such as badminton, ping pong, volleyball, softball, futsal and brisk walking. Everyone had an enjoyable leisure time. It has fostered closer camaraderie, besides serving as a good stress reliever after the routine of working whole week.
