SHAKLEE Products (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has returned for the third time and will sponsor RM2.82mil worth of dietary supplements – the biggest amount of its sponsorship to date for Penang StarWalk 2015.

Some 30,000 dietary supplements from its fine selection of products will be distributed to the participants. The participation of Shaklee as a sponsor is in line with the company’s mission to promote a healthy lifestyle for Malaysians.

“Every participant is expected to receive three different products from the four sponsored varieties for Penang StarWalk 2015,” said Shaklee Products (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd assistant corporate affairs manager Norazah Zainal.

She added that the company had sponsored RM50,000 worth of products for Penang Starwalk last year but had decided to increase the amount of sponsorship due to the overwhelming number of participants.

“Last year, we gave out different assortment of products and this year we are giving out a new set of products for participants to try,” she said.

Their four products – Omega Guard, Vita-E Complex, GLA Complex and Vita-Lea – are suitable for the consumption for those aged 18 years and above. The rationale for introducing a distinct set of products is to distinguish it from the line-up in the previous year so that the returning participants are exposed to a wider range of the company’s products.

“For example, Vita-Lea is a supplement containing iron and calcium so it’s good for walker’s health,” she said.

This year’s event will be a non-competitive one. Registration for the walk has closed.

The 7km Starwalk will be flagged off from Penang Times Square on Sept 13 at 7am.

The premier sporting event, jointly organised by Star Media Group Bhd (formerly known as Star Publications (M) Bhd) and Penang Amateur Athletic Association, will take the participants through the George Town heritage trail.

YES is the platinum sponsor for the walk while E&O, Pallas, 100Plus and Magnum4D are the silver sponsors.
