JFE Shoji Steel Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (JSSM) participated in the Twincity Marathon, which took place on April 28 in Cyberjaya and its neighboring city, Putrajaya, located twenty-five kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur. The Twincity Marathon is one of Malaysia’s biggest running events, and this year’s race was the ninth edition. It was also the third time that JSSM has participated in the race. Forty-one employees participated this year, running the 5K, 12K or 21K course based on their fitness level.
Putrajaya, which was part of the race course, is a relatively new city developed to accommodate some of the country’s administrative functions. It is home to many administrative agencies and ministries, the prime minister’s office, and the Supreme Court. All of the participants completed the race while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the two cities, which they rarely have the chance to visit.
One employee who participated said: “The event was fun, and deepened my bond with my colleagues.” Another commented: “The 5K course was nice and easy for a beginning runner like me.”
JSSM will continue to participate in events to maintain and improve the health of its employees and promote friendships between them.
