Highly appreciated and gratitude to runners for participating cleansing haze with their valuable lungs respiratory organs.
its been raining over the last week. no more haze. you should know this if you were in malaysia.
do not close the run for your fancy run. this is not your grandfather own road. if you want to run do it in empty putrajaya or run 40 laps inside stadium
We should boycott companies that do runs that jeopardise the traffic
Tbh, I don’t mind the road being closed at 0330am and opened, what I really don’t understand are runs in the middle of the city at peak traffic hours.
