Put your climbing skill to the test

-

QUEENSBAY Mall is not only celebratin­g the pioneers’ struggle for the nation’s independen­ce this Merdeka Day, but is also honouring our athletes who have bestowed great pride to Malaysia at the recent Olympic Games Rio 2016.

Our contingent did the country proud by clinching five medals — four silver and one bronze. Thus, it is only appropriat­e that they are recognised for their sacrifices.

As the Olympians have inspired generation­s of our athletes to come, Queensbay Mall is hosting a thrilling rock climbing event that aims to instil the values that bind us together as anak- anak Malaysia while putting your character, strength and fitness to the test!
