UEM Sunrise Berhad (“UEM Sunrise” or the “Company”) one of Malaysia’s leading property developers, held its inaugural “Symphony Fun Walk & Run 2017” at Symphony Hills, Cyberjaya, which received overwhelming response with more than 600 participants today.
In addition to the staggering number of participants, the “Symphony Fun Walk & Run 2017” has successfully drawn participants from the wider region including those from the United Kingdom (“UK”), India, Indonesia and the Philippines. Aimed at fostering strong community ties as well as to promote a healthy living lifestyle among Cyberjaya residents, the event gave participants the opportunity to appreciate Cyberjaya’s green township as well as to continue creating awareness on Symphony Hills, an exclusive 98-acre boutique development in Cyberjaya, developed by UEM Sunrise.
“Keeping in mind that ‘health is wealth’ and that health is essential in the overall well-being of our residents, it is our priority to ensure that our communities are able to enjoy recreational activities that can help enhance their quality of life when they stay within a township or a development by UEM Sunrise.
“Symphony Hills is a fine example of how our mission to build sustainable communities is reflected through our developments which often capture a balance between innovative design and technology, and the best quality of life that it may offer its residents.” said UEM Sunrise’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib.
“Here at Symphony Hills, we also have Verdi eco-dominiums, our high-rise development and a masterpiece enlivened by modernity and smart living. It offers comfort and convenience amidst lushness, incorporating security and broadband connectivity with green building features,” he added.
The “Symphony Fun Walk & Run 2017” reflected Symphony Hills’ development concept which focuses on harmonious and quality living. The event had an extensive programme of fun activities and musical performances, from the flag off point all the way to the finishing line. The streets were lively with performances by String Quartet, Acapella-Colour of Voices and Victoria Institution’s Brass Band to name a few acts. A Mini Carnival hosted exciting family-friendly activities such as face painting, sand art, ring toss, free flow of pop-corns, Abang Mat Clown, a marching band and a Zumba dance among others. Malaysia’s popular Master of Ceremony, Land Slyde, kept the participants and their families entertained and engaged throughout the carnival.
