Putrajaya, 15th February 2015 – Malay Girls College (MGC),
now known as Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC) Old Girls Association organized a
fun-filled, family event on Sunday, February 15th 2015 from 7am at Kompleks
Sukan Air, Presinct 6, Putrajaya.
The Wife to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Yang Amat
Berbahagia Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, a TKC alumni herself, graced the
event as the patron of the TKC Walk-a-Run Carnival alongside the Youth and
Sports Minister, Yang Berhormat Encik Khairy Jamaluddin.
The carnival aims to raise RM 2,000,000 in stages for the
benefit of athletic and sports development facilities in the newly relocated
school in Bandar Enstek, Nilai. The first stage of the fundraising aim to raise RM 500,000
towards the #TKCfieldproject.
The Carnival’s main attraction is a 5km run or
walk, with participants encouraged to be dressed to the nines! There are also
other activities at the carnival site, including a Bouncy Castle for the
children, and aerobics, zumba, poco-poco and insanity fitness for the adults.
YAB Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah danced the poco-poco alongside YB Khairy, she then
cheered on from the sidelines while YB Khairy went one-on-one with Encik Mohd
Farid Isham (nicknamed Cat) for the KJ Challenge, where Encik Cat beat YB
Khairy 3-2 and won an iPad Air. All donations from the KJ Challenge go towards
the #TKCfieldproject.
The VVIPs were accompanied by the MGC/TKC OGA committee
throughout the event; Tan Sri Datuk Dr Rafiah Salim, President MGC/TKC OGA, Pn
Mariam Tun Sulaiman, Deputy President MGC/TKC OGA, Datuk Hafsah Hashim, Vice
President Agama & Education MGC/TKC OGA, and Datin Norhizan Ibrahim Vice
President Social & Welfare MGC/TKC OGA. The Race Director for the MGC/TKC
Walk-a-Run Carnival is Pn Nik Lini Hayati Nik Kazim (Pn Lini Kazim), who is
also the current Best Malaysian Female Triathlete at Ironman Langkawi 2014.
From MGC in Bukit Damansara to TKC in Bukit Merbah and now
the new school in Bandar Enstek, the college has been both a school and a home
for many bright young ladies who then went forth to become prominent figures in
various fields both locally and internationally. TKC prides itself in being
excellent academically, there are also potential athletes among the girls that
require proper athletic and sports facilities to train in and it is through
this carnival that the MGC / TKC OGA hopes to raise adequate funds. The new
school has yet to have a Sports Day since moving to Bandar Enstek in 2012. The
MGC/TKC OGA hopes that this fundraiser will be a success to ensure a return of
Sports Day to the TKC school grounds.
The main supporter for the event includes UEM with the
co-organisers Perbadanan Putrajaya and MGC/TKC OGA. A full list of winners and
