DUNGUN: Politeknik Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin (PSMZA) here made a name for itself with the “Longest Jalur Gemilang Human Trail @ Bukit Bauk” programme, earning a place in the Malaysia Book of Records.
Its director, Zamra Derahman, said the event saw 2,000 participants, including PSMZA staff, civil servants, and members of the public forming a human chain representing the Jalur Gemilang that stretched 2.222km.
She said the programme’s main objectives were to foster unity and strengthen the relationship between PSMZA and the local community, Bernama reported.
“The programme involved participants lining up along the Bukit Bauk trail, from the base to the summit, while holding the Malaysian flag.
“Besides promoting racial unity, the event also aimed to encourage a healthy lifestyle within the community,” she said during the event here yesterday.
During the event, Zamra received a certificate of recognition from Malaysia Book of Records officer Edwin Yeoh Tiong Chin on behalf of PSMZA.
Zamra said this was the second recognition they received following the achievement of building Malaysia’s first sundial at a polytechnic.
This was recognised on Oct 17 last year by the records book.
“We are determined to continue making history with more records and beneficial programmes for the students and the community,” she added.
