PUTRAJAYA: Thousands of people spent their morning walking and cycling together, displaying the 1Malaysia spirit.
Participants of the Jom Ceria (Let's be Cheerful) came bright and early, gathering at the starting line at Dataran Putrajaya by 7.30am yesterday as they awaited the arrival of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The crowd, wearing T-shirts bearing the 1Malaysia logo, lived up to the event's name, cheering and waving miniature Malaysian flags as Najib arrived with his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
Najib said such events were instrumental in bringing the people closer as the country works towards igniting the spirit of community among Malaysians.
“If we can break down barriers that divide Malaysians of different race and creed, we will become a more united people guided by the principles of 1Malaysia.
“A country that plays together, stays together,” he told the crowd.
