Pang joins participants in an aerobics session during the Sarawak Day edition of the BCFM.
BINTULU (July 19): More than 400 people took part in the Sarawak Day edition of the Bintulu Car-Free Morning (BCFM) held at Tanjung Batu Beach here today.
The event kicked off with an aerobics session, followed by a plogging activity and a Fun Hunt Run.
Participants of all ages also enjoyed traditional games and various family-friendly activities throughout the morning.
Tanjong Batu assemblyman Johnny Pang, who joined the event, said programmes such as BCFM should continue in the coming months as they promote a healthy lifestyle and foster community engagement.
'BCFM is a meaningful initiative that benefits both the physical and mental well-being of the community. It provides a positive platform for people to come together and stay active,' he said.
A symbolic marker was also placed to designate a 5-kilometre route, which will serve as a permanent feature for future BCFM events.
Pang expressed hope that the dedicated route will encourage more members of the public — including children, students, youths and senior citizens — to take up jogging and cycling regularly.
He also extended his appreciation to all parties involved, especially Bintulu Development Authority (BDA), the main organiser of the event.
'I'm pleased to take part in today's BCFM. It not only promotes a healthy lifestyle, but also helps reduce carbon emissions and supports our vision for a Low Carbon Industrial Hub by 2030,' he added. Bintulu Car-Free Day johnny pang sarawak day
