In conjunction of the National Sports Day of Malaysia, the Embassy of Malaysia organized a light sports activity to promote sports activities and also to inculcate healthy lifestyle among its officials, staff and their family members. The objective of this national sports initiative is to transform Malaysia into a sporting nation. Some Malaysians in Peru also joined in this yearly event held at the Chancery of the Embassy of Malaysia on Saturday, 8 October 2016.
A warming up session with stretching and aerobic exercise accompanying with music was conducted before embarking on a brisk walking for about 4km around the nearby park, Parque El Olivar. All had an enjoyable leisure time during the outdoor activity as a family outing and a gathering to foster closer camaraderie, besides serving as a good stress reliever after the routine of working whole week.
