MALACCA: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam and his state executive council members together with government department heads cycled for 2km to launch the “Go Green” campaign.

He led a convoy of 100 participants from the Chief Minister’s Residence at Seri Bendahara in Ayer Keroh here to Seri Negeri. The convoy entered the compound of the Chief Minister’s office at Seri Negeri at 8am yesterday.

The campaign is aimed at realising the aspiration of a Green Technology City State by 2020. “I encourage the people to ride bicycles and support the state government’s effort to implement the ‘Go Green’ mission,” Mohd Ali said.

He added that yesterday’s event was to encourage government servants and the public to cycle to work. “I will cycle to my office at Seri Negeri every Friday,” he said.

Mohd Ali also urged the public to submit suggestions on a suitable location for cy­­cling activities. — Bernama
