KUCHING, Aug 17: The Mayor’s Walk 2025, organised by Kuching South City Council (MBKS), saw an overwhelming turnout of more than 8,000 participants this morning, reflecting the strong community spirit of Kuching.
The annual walk, which has been held since 2017, was officiated by Deputy Premier of Sarawak Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, who joined families, friends and residents in the fun-filled morning activity.
Welcoming participants, MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng emphasised that the Mayor’s Walk is not only about fitness but also about community-building.
