In conjunction with the National Sports Day of Malaysia 2018, the Embassy of Malaysia organized sports activities on Friday, 13 October 2018. The objective of the national sports initiative is to transform Malaysia into a sporting nation by inculcating healthy lifestyle among Malaysians. Besides being participated by the staff of the Embassy and their family, Malaysian community in Peru also joined in.
The sports event commenced with a warm-up session of Zumba led by local staff of the Embassy to the accompaniment of popular Latin songs. The Home-Based Staff also conducted a poco-poco session with the participants. Subsequently, the participants walked to the nearby park, Parque Olivar to carry out their own favourite sports activities such as brisk-walking, jogging and football. The little ones are also not left out, playing at the park.
It was an enjoyable leisure program that has fostered closer camaraderie. After the routine of working whole week, the break was a good stress reliever.
