KUCHING: The second edition of the Digital Community Run is expected to draw more than 1,000 participants next month.
Organised by Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) Sarawak, it is scheduled to be held on Nov 30 at Mydin Petra Jaya.
According to TM Sarawak general manager Jafer Sadig Abdul Lathiff, the run would feature two categories ― a 5KM fun run and a 10KM competitive run.
To be flagged off at 7.30pm, the night run aims to create an engagement platform with the community at large and promote a healthy lifestyle through healthy and fun activities.
“The participants will also have the opportunity to win a cash prize worth RM3,000 in total. A registration fee for the 5KM run is RM50 while the 10KM run is RM60.
“In addition to the run, other fun and exciting activities such as Digital Challenge, TelCo Street Soccer Challenge, We Got Talent competition and open Kahoot quiz will be held in the day from 9am to 4pm,” he said at a press conference yesterday at TM Sarawak Hub, Jalan Sultan Tengah here.
Apart from that, Jafer also noted the ongoing TM campaign known as ‘Pay Nothing’ that started on Oct 1 until Dec 31, served as a rental-free promotion for new and existing Unifi customers whereby upon signing up, they would not need to pay for their Unifi subscription until year end.
Participants of the run who are also new customers to TM will be getting a RM30 waver from the run’s registration fees if they sign up for the promotion.
When asked by reporters on the number of TM customers and current coverage across the state, he said, “Currently, we have more than 100,000 customers. Our Unifi coverage expansion plan is still ongoing and we are prioritising areas that have Streamyx customers.
“We are now in Phase 3 of the expansion plan which is focusing on rural areas; Phase 1, town areas while Phase 2, suburban areas.
“Hopefully when everything goes well, every Streamyx customers will already be covered in the next one year and a half…they are encouraged to migrate over to Unifi once the coverage has already expanded to their areas.”
Also present were TM Sarawak public relations manager Hasni Kassan and Unifi Sarawak head Suhardi Sahari.
Registrations for the run and enquiries for the promotion can be done online, TM Points located around the state as well as TM booths set up across town.
