SOME 1,000 people put on their running shoes for a community run in Bandar Sri Sendayan, near Seremban in Negri Sembilan, to do their bit for environmental conservation.

They were part of 5,000 participants across Malaysia who took part in Veg Run, which was held simultaneously by the Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) local chapters throughout the country.
