4) Malaysia Women Marathon 2019
This year Malaysia Women Marathon 2019 teamed up with one of Malaysia’s highly regarded artist Habsah Abang Saufi to encapsulate the theme an “Ode to Women”. We recreated her painting from a series of her work called “Wanita” and used it onto for our event t-shirt. This dedication is wonderfully apt for a women’s event such as ours as we hope that this theme will recollect our stand towards an issue that we are proud to be associated with, Gender Equality.
