PUTRAJAYA: The Apron Walk 2024 held at Anjung Floria here in conjunction with the national-level World Health Safety Day attracted 2,000 participants, including people with disabilities.
It started with a warm-up session before the participants were flagged off by Health director-general Datuk Dr Muhammad Radzi Abu Hassan, who joined in the walk yesterday.
The 5km walk programme, now in its second year, was held due to the overwhelming public response last year.
It was also in line with the efforts by the Health Ministry in strengthening national food safety control through the implementation of various strategies and interventions.
Various activities were held, including a food safety exhibition, a colouring competition for children, aerobics, lucky draws and a zapin performance.
A father of two special children, Norhazim Izzat Md Azman, 36, said he and several members of the Special Children’s Runners Association also joined in the walk.
Norhazim Izzat, born in Kuala Langat, Selangor, said he had participated in almost 40 recreational and sports activities throughout the year and found that such activities were good for his two special children aged five and eight.
“Every weekend we will join in such activities with our special children. It cheers them up,” he told Bernama.
