DATARAN Merdeka was awash in blue when 40,000 runners took part in the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2019 last weekend.

The 11th edition of the premier distance running event in Malaysia also saw Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman make his debut in the event by participating in the half marathon category.
