BMA officials get "get-fit" order

[Thaivisa News]

Bangkok:- Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Governor M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra has instructed all BMA agencies to have their officials exercise every Wednesday afternoon.

BMA City Clerk Sanya Chinimitr said the governor has declared Wednesday as the BMA Sports Day in line with his policy to turn Bangkok into “the metropolis of happiness for all”.

Sukhumbhand has also coined a motto for the BMA Sports Day as “Wednesdays – Days of Healthiness, Happiness and Fitness”.

Sanya said all BMA agencies were told to arrange venues for their officials to exercise in the sports they like, including workouts, football, swimming, indoor football, badminton, table tennis, aerobic dances, yoga, petong, etc. The officials may exercise at 10 sports centers and 37 youth centers of the BMA, Sanya added.

Sanya said when BMA officials are healthier, they will be able to serve the public with more efficiency.

The BMA will also provide sport scientists to measure physical fitness of BMA officials and advise them which sports they should do.

On Wednesday, Sanya kicked off the BMA Sports Day by leading his officials to ride their bicycles around the Waree Pirom Park in Klong Samwa district. Sanya took the chance to inspect the construction of the bike lane around the park, which has some little jobs to be finished.

After the Waree Pirom Park has been opened to the public, many Bangkok residents have been regularly exercising at the park. The park has running tracks, a bike lane around a lake and an adventure bike ground. Certain areas are still full with rough grasses because the park used to be used as a water retention area.

I think another cooking show or the rival program would prove far more attractive:
