PARTICIPANTS can look forward to catching up with the latest news during Penang Starwalk 2015 courtesy of SP Setia.
Property developer SP Setia Bhd will be sponsoring 15,000 copies of The Star to be distributed to participants during the event on Sunday.
Its property (north) general manager Ng Han Seong said promoting a healthy lifestyle was very important to the company.
“Our philosophy is not to just build houses or apartments. We make sure that there are facilities to promote a healthy active lifestyle in our projects as well.
Ng said they jumped at the proposal to sponsor the newspapers as it carried a lot of meaning to the company’s theme ‘livelearnworkplay’, adding that it was their fifth year sponsoring the event.
He presented the mock cheque worth RM20,000 to Star Media Group Bhd audience management senior manager (north) Oun Sui Leng.
Participants can also look forward to an hour-long all natural facial after the event, courtesy of La Herballe Skin Care Specialists and Wellness.
The skin care specialists will be sponsoring 500 full facial vouchers and 20 bottles of face and body wash made from apple and green tea.
The facials worth RM118 each come with complimentary green tea during the session.
Its chief executive officer Jacqueline Goh said this was their fourth year sponsoring the event.
“With Starwalk, it feels like being part of something healthy and my main mission with La Herballe is to promote healthy products and a healthy lifestyle,” she said at the La Herballe Skin Care Specialist and Wellness outlet in Queensbay Mall, Bayan Lepas.
The Star’s account servicing executive Tan Sin Yee received the sponsorship from Goh.
Penang Starwalk will be flagged off from Penang Times Square on Sunday at 7am.
