It's National Sports Day here in Malaysia today folks and I was busy taking a long afternoon nap just now. The reason was that I had to wake up early today and send my kid to her school for her school sports day today held in conjunction with the National Sports Day. So I sent her, went out with the missus for some fabric shopping in SS2 (we ended up not buying anything) and then later went over to the little kiddo's school and ate nasi lemak whilst waiting. After that I went home and fell asleep on the sofa. So much for National Sports Day participation on my part. But anyway, Perodua did something today too!
They organised “Perodua Fun Walk 2016,” which is a 3KM walk around Perodua's 500-acre manufacturing compound for 1,000 of its staff and business partners in support of the National Sports Day. 3KM isn't that far and a nice distance for people to have some fun in a group (it also does not take too much time actually).
This is the second year Perodua is participating in this programme. Participants of the Perodua Fun Walk 2016 began their walk at 9.00am after some light warming up exercise. Those who completed the course were eligible for a special lucky draw contest. So some win stuff and all get some sunshine and exercise.
Keeping employees healthy is a good thing yes?
PRESS RELEASE
Perodua organises “Fun Walk” on National Sports Day
Rawang, 8 Oct: The country’s compact car company organises a “Perodua Fun Walk
2016,” a 3KM walk around its massive 500-acre compound, for 1,000 of its staff and
business partners in support of the National Sports Day.
The National Sports Day is an initiative under the Ministry of Youth and Sports which
promotes a healthy and active lifestyle.
“This is the second year Perodua is participating in this programme as we firmly
believe that having a healthy and active lifestyle would improve all activities – both in
our personal and professional lives,” Perodua President & CEO, Datuk (Dr) Aminar
Rashid Salleh said.
Participants of the Perodua Fun Walk 2016 began their walk at 9.00am and those
who completed the course were eligible for a special lucky draw contest.
“We are looking to make this an annual event as we wish to include healthy and
active living as part of our revamped “Safety, Health and Environment” safety
guidelines,” Aminar said.
Aminar said that the guidelines place greater emphases on healthy living as quality
begins with a healthy body and mind.
The Perodua Fun Walk 2016 is also part of Perodua Safety Month Campaign 2016,
whereby the compact car company is emphasising the importance of both quality,
health and safety among all its 11,000 employees.
“We believe that quality and safety both share the same component, which is
discipline and hard work on everybody’s part,” Aminar said.
“We aim to minimise, if not eliminate all industrial accidents and we believe that the
best way to do it is with an well informed and healthy workforce,” he added.
