In response to an Opinion letter by Senior Runner on ‘Call to extend opening hours at indoor running track’ published on December 28, 2024, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS) and the Youth and Sports Department in extending gratitude and acknowledging the feedback shared, values and warmly welcome the public’s interest and support in utilising the facility as part of efforts to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
For the record, the current operating hours have been set to allow for regular cleaning and maintenance work to ensure the facility remains clean, safe and comfortable for public use.
However, MCYS and the Youth and Sports Department will review the suggestion to extend the operating hours, particularly in the morning, to provide greater convenience for various groups, including retirees and senior citizens.
Since the facility has only recently opened, its usage and community needs are being monitored to ensure maximum benefit for the public.
Alhamdulillah, MCYS and the Youth and Sports Department are pleased and grateful for the positive reception received and the public is urged to continue practicing a healthy lifestyle and to use this facility responsibly by maintaining cleanliness and caring for other amenities such as restrooms and public areas.
This ensures the facility can serve the community well into the future.
