Yesterday morning,I was honoured by Putrajaya Corporation,the administrator of Putrajaya(the administrative capital of Malaysia) for being invited to share my experience in cycling around the lakes,wetlands and the gardens within the City with kids and parents who live in Presint 8 & 9,Putrajaya.
I began cycling here since August,2008 and I keep cycling about twice a week on regular basis,except in month of Ramadhan. I also walk at some beautiful trails and gardens here.The facilities here are among the best in Malaysia but very few residents are are making use of them.From my interactions with the kids and observations,the usage of lakes and wetland for outdoor activities are very minimal-hence this effort to gain public awareness and engagement.Well done PPj and please continue your roadshows.This is one step in the right direction.Keep moving and you shall arrive.Above photo Note: Thanks to Sabri Ya for the photo.
Here is a group of kids cycling in Putrajaya..but only a handful.The more the merrier..
Here is a nice snapshot of the Putrajaya Wetland taken when my friends and me went cycling on our MTB ..
Pak Adib, That shot of the bridge looks beautiful! I've been going to Putrajaya quite a bit since a year or so ago, and there are still plenty of places there I have not yet been. Been wanting to find a good jogging track though.
