THE 3rd Easy Run organised by the Civil Service Institute under the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was a success yesterday, aimed at promoting awareness on maintaining good health and giving back to the community through charity.
Held at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas, the event was both a sports activity and charity drive to raise funds for Society for the Management of Autism Related issues in Training, Education and Resources (SMARTER) Brunei.
Joining in the event was Fitness Zone Managing Director Wu Chun who made a special appearance in a show of support and encouragement.
In line with his leading role as a health ambassador in the Sultanate, Wu Chun’s support for the event not only asserts the importance of keeping good health, but supports the titah of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam to battle unhealthy lifestyles.

“When I read the monarch’s titah on the first day of Hari Raya, it gave me a big boost to pursue my dream to change people’s lives for the betterment of the country. It also showed the health conditions of our population is not in a good state. We need to address this problem before it is too late.
“Our children are our future and parents should lead by example, and create a healthy and responsible culture within their own environment,” he explained.
“It’s a privilege for Fitness Zone to participate in the charitable run. We hope to continue building a community of active self-empowered Bruneians who desire to be better, not only for themselves but also for their loved ones. Health is our true wealth and this action led by the Prime Minister’s Office is something to be very proud of,” he added.
Over 30 representatives from SMARTER Brunei also participated in the event, to which all the proceeds will go. Participants of the run also received a three-day free pass to Fitness Zone.
