Ministry's fun-filled family day




ENTERTAINMENT came in the form of fun-filled activities and competitions at the Ministry of Development's Family Carnival yesterday, filling up the entire day for the ministry's staff and their families.

Aimed at instilling cooperation and enhancing relationships between colleagues and their family members, the event organised by the ministry's Administration and Finance Department, took place at the ministry's premises.

Minister of Development Pehin Orang Kaya Hamzah Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Hj Abdullah Begawan Mudim Dato Paduka Hj Bakar officiated the event with an aerobic session, joined by the rest of the crowd. Also joining in the fun were the deputy minister and permanent secretary of the ministry.

The adults were kept busy with events such as a tug-of-war competition, volleyball and beach soccer between departments while the young ones were entertained throughout the whole event with a number of activities such as pony rides, bouncers, an animal showcase and the latest craze, an all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) ride.

A lucky draw was also organised for the employees with attractive prizes up for grabs. Hawkers, some who were employees of the ministry, also showcased their products and cooking skills. The stalls were filled with an assortment of light foods and drinks intended for sale.

The one-day event was a day for both the young and parents to enjoy and the public also joined in the fun with the ministry officers, staff and their families.
