“Events like Milo Malaysia Breakfast Day Putrajaya provide a meaningful platform to encourage youths and families to embrace an active lifestyle while building a stronger appreciation for sports and physical activity.

“I am encouraged to see initiatives that bring communities together and inspire young Malaysians to stay active, healthy and engaged.

“With the support of partners like Milo, we hope to continue nurturing a generation of youths who are passionate about sports, value teamwork and make active living a part of their everyday lives,” he said.

Nestle Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei chief executive officer Juan Aranols expressed his delight at seeing thousands of families and young Malaysians come together to celebrate sports, fitness and cherished family traditions.

“Since 2013, we have championed this initiative because we believe that healthy habits, from just staying active to participating in sports, help shape confident and resilient individuals.

“What I found especially inspiring today was speaking to families who told me they would always return year after year, and seeing parents, children and even grandparents taking part side by side.

“Moments like these remind us that healthy habits are not built overnight, but through the everyday choices families make together.

“We are grateful for the Government’s continued support in advancing this shared vision for sports and wellness in Malaysia,” he said.
