The upcoming Mayor Walk 2025 will continue to serve as a symbol of Kuching South City Council’s (MBKS) commitment to building a healthier, greener, and more connected city, while aligning closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), said Kuching South Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng.
He said the annual event, now in its seventh year, strongly supports SDG Goal 3 which are Good Health and Well-being, and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
“Through this event, we are not just promoting exercise; we are promoting a lifestyle of balance, awareness, and connection with nature,” he told a press conference at the MBKS headquarters today.
Wee noted that the Mayor Walk has grown significantly since its inception in 2017, evolving from a simple community walk into one of Kuching South’s most recognised events in fostering public participation, unity, and appreciation for the outdoors.
He said the walk also supports MBKS’ vision of a Healthy and Smart City, where public spaces serve not just only as infrastructure, but also as platforms for interaction, wellness, and learning.
“This initiative is part of our Youth, Culture and Sports Programme and reflects our mission to foster healthy lifestyles and build a stronger community.
“We are especially proud that this event is intergenerational. It’s common to see three generations walking together ― grandparents, parents, and children sharing laughs and creating memories,” he added.
Beyond promoting physical activity, Wee said the event also serves as an informal learning platform, particularly for children to develop an appreciation for nature and local environmental conservation.
He also took the opportunity to thank longstanding sponsors and partners who have contributed to the success of the event over the years.
Among the key sponsors this year is Ibraco Berhad, which has supported the Mayor Walk since 2018 and is contributing RM80,000 worth of T-shirts for this year’s participants. Other notable sponsors include 38 Yayasan Amal Cinta, Chagee, Lalamove, Revive, and Premier Echo Sound and Light System Sdn Bhd.
Wee also expressed gratitude to the City Joggers Club (CJC), MBKS’ event partner since the very first edition in 2017, for their unwavering support in planning, coordination, and mobilising volunteers.
As for logistics, he reminded participants to register via the iPeople platform to redeem their T-shirts, with redemption to take place at the MBKS Lobby on Aug 15 starting from 9am to 4pm and on Aug 16 from 9am to 12pm.
“Participants are required to bring their iPeople registration QR code when collecting their T-shirts, and we look forward to seeing all of you.
“Let us continue walking forward together for a healthier, greener, and more connected Kuching South,” he said.
Mayor Walk 2025 will take place on Aug 17, starting at 6am at the MBKS Boulevard.
