Magnum gives GPS
TEN Global Positioning Sys-tem (GPS) units await lucky participants of Penang Starwalk 2009 - thanks to Magnum Corporation Sdn Bhd.
The GPS units are among the items worth RM10,000 sponsored by Magnum Corporation Sdn Bhd for the Dec 13 walk. The company is also sponsoring RM10,000 cash for the event.
Its northern regional manager S. Perambalam said the company was glad to be part of Starwalk as it is one of the premier sports event in the state.
“Starwalk never fails to attract people from all walks of life. It is our corporate social respon-sibility to help promote healthy living by supporting the event,” he said last Friday after hand- ing over the sponsorship to The Star advertisement sales account executive Mike Ong at Magnum’s office in Rangoon Road, Penang.
Magnum is one of the main sponsors for the walk. The others are Pallas, Eastin Hotel, Milo, 100Plus, DiGi, Malta, Eagle Brand, Spritzer, Sunquick and BreatheRight.
