SIBU: Dedicated to providing more natural goodness beverages with lower sugar content to the health-conscious, Yeo’s was at the Borneo Post Run 2016 yesterday.

Speaking at the closing of BP Run 2016 at Town Square Phase 1, senior manager of Corporate Communications of Yeo Hiap Seng (Malaysia) Berhad, Joe Wong, said Yeo’s had set up many booths at Sibu Town Square Phase 1 offering Yeo’s Green Tea and other Asian drinks to the runners to quench their thirst and rejuvenate them.

With the slogan ‘Yeo’s Stay Healthy and Yeo’s the Natural Choice’, Yeo’s chose to feature Yeo’s Green Tea for its tremendous benefits.

It claimed Yeo’s Green Tea helps in body-weight reduction by increasing metabolism and lessens cholesterol in the body.

Yeo’s Green Tea contains an antioxidant that inhibits rapid aging and above all, it is one of the top preferred beverages in East Malaysia.

“Yeo’s as a whole would like to encourage all Malaysians to adapt to healthy practices alongside full utilisation of Yeo’s beverages health benefits.”

He said the latest statistics from the Health Ministry showed that nearly half of Malaysia’s population of 30 million were overweight and obese.

“In simpler words, out of two Malaysians one is obese or overweight,” he pointed out.

Another research, he said, as reported in The Borneo Post this year, showed that nine out of 100 heart patients in the country faced heart failure due to not adequately taking care of their personal health.

“However, experts also said that 80 per cent of all heart problems can be avoided only if we are willing to exercise regularly,” he enthused.

On the event, he said the overwhelming participation showed that the people of Sibu cared about leading a healthy lifestyle, which prompted Yeo’s to sponsor the run.

He said Yeo’s believed that a strong community can be forged when its people are mentally and physically healthy.

The run was flagged off by KTS Group deputy managing director Temenggong Datuk Vincent Lau Lee Ming.

More than 3,000 people from various parts of Sarawak participated in the run which started at Town Square Phase 1.

Also present at the event were KTS Foodland senior manager Peter Wong, See Hua Marketing Sdn Bhd assistant manager Kueh Nguan Seng and Borneo Post Sibu branch manager Lawrence Ling.
