Team Malakoff @ Finish of Charity Ride - Tanjung Bin


Here's the contingent from Tanjung Bin. I asked the lads for a different pose for this one. This is more rugby than cycling, but its a nice change.

Seriously though, we need to get away from the 'thumbs up' and the 'V'/peace sign.

Here's the contingent from Prai. Check the discreet product placement for isotonic drink. I did not plant it there...

Apologies if not everyone is in the pix. Here is the Malakoff team from KL at the end of the race, when they arrived at the Batu Burok Beach Resort.

Speaking of which, why is the End, co-blogger and organiser, not in this picture?

Yes, its about all of you, the Malakoff Charity Ride riders and support team, and the charities that you've contributed to.

TEMERLOH: Participants of the charity ride organised by Malakoff Corporation Berhad arrived safely and on schedule to hand over donations to several charitable organisations and welfare homes.

A total of RM26,000 was distributed to five recipients here during the journey which saw some 80 cyclists travelling a distance of 480km from Gombak to Kuala Trengganu.

Their aim was to raise RM60,000 for the underprivileged and the amount would be channelled directly to selected homes along the route.

Present during the ceremony were the firm’s managing director and chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya and its senior vice president Nor Shakiman Muhammad.

The recipients in Temerloh were Darul Izzah Orphanage (RM10,000), Rumah Sri Suria (RM5,000), SK Bandar Temerloh (RM5,000), Bukit Damar and Bandar Temerloh Community Learning Resources Centres (RM3,000 each).


For a good cause: Cyclists passing through one of the routes in Temerloh during the charity ride.

Earlier, two orphanages in Gombak were given RM2,500 each shortly before the flagging-off ceremony.

The entourage later arrived in SM Chukai, Kemaman where they handed over another RM28,000 to three organisations and hosted a dinner for 40 hardcore poor children.

The recipients were orphanages and poor children (RM20,000), Kemaman orphanage (RM5,000) and Kompleks Penyayang Community Learning Resources Centres (RM3,000).

The cyclists had a truly rewarding and satisfying experience.
