1088 Walk-ed a Payung

14 December 2008
A total of 1,088 participants walking with umbrellas in the vicinity of Sunway Pyramid this morning certainly helped to raise awareness that SLE patients have to avoid the sun. Their participation in the Walk-a-Payung 2008 event this morning also helped the Persatuan SLE Malaysia (PSLEM) to break its own record in the Malaysia Book of Records’ “Largest Participation of Walkers with Umbrellas” category. The total of 1,088 participants topped last year’s total of 727 participants by almost 50%.
This morning’s walk was led by State Assemblyman for Subang Jaya YB Hannah Yeoh, PSLEM’s President Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esha Das Gupta, and Walk-a-Payung Organising Committee Chairman Datin Rahmah Kassim, as well as two special guests all the way from Singapore - MTV VJ Twins, May and Choy.
Below are some pictorial highlights from this morning’s event.
