General Manager of KWYP – Dato’ Lee Hin Chan expresses his vision for a better future with everybody working towards the same direction, hand in hand.

“The government’s campaign to go green has been reflected by KWYP, as we instill environmental-friendly cultures and lead healthy lifestyles.” says Dato’ Lee. He also expresses his gratitude towards KWYP’s readers for their loyal support in promotion of the local tourism field.

The 100 KWYP Round Island Ride kicks off as early as 7 in the morning – on 26th September, at Youth Park, Penang. Event organizers include Majlis Sukan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Penang Cycling Lifestyle Society and KOTRT. KWYP takes the lead in responding to the green campaign – together they cycle ’round the town, admiring the scenic views. Cyclists from different states are also expected to be present.
