Penang Port Walk Challenge - A Virtual Challenge to Promote a Healthy Lifestyle Among Penang Port Employees

Penang Port Sdn Bhd (Penang Port), a member of MMC Group, held a prize-giving ceremony for 22 of its employees who completed the 250,000-steps challenge through the PPSB Walk Challenge 2021 programme. The challenge was held for a month starting from 1 until 31 December 2021.

The PPSB Walk Challenge 2021 was initiated by Penang Port to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among its employees, using the smartphone application named PACER as a medium to calculate footsteps, through walking or running. This virtual step challenge has received an encouraging response from Penang Port employees as the activity can be done anywhere whether at work, home or public areas, especially if the session can be held personally to avoid the risk of COVID-19 infection.

Walking and running, according to general research, not only help the body but also give additional advantages that we are not aware of, such as boost emotions, increase cognition and improve digestive system.

The PPSB Walk Challenge programme will continue for 2022, with new challenges designed for each quarter to encourage Penang Port employees to remain active and stay fit.
