MORE than 700 participants, from all walks of life, joined the #Obese2Beast Fun Walk organised by a newly formed student-led non-governmental organisation (NGO) called Persatuan Sihat Sejahtera (The Backbenchers).

The group, comprising MBA students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, intend to spread awareness on the alarming rate of obesity in Malaysia and encourage society to get back on track through fun activities in dealing with the problem.
