KOTA KINABALU: Sept 3, 2026 — About 65 members of PUSPANITA Sabah Branch took part in the “Merdeka Health Programme: Puspa Sihat, Generasi Hebat” at Dewan PUSPA Seri Faridah, Wisma PUSPANITA, here yesterday, in conjunction with the National Month and Sabah Day celebrations.
The programme, jointly organised by the Sports and Recreation Sub-Committee and the Wisma PUSPANITA Management Sub-Committee of PUSPANITA Sabah Branch, ran from 8am to 1pm.
It was officiated by PUSPANITA Sabah Branch Chairperson Datin Hajah Siti Yuslaini Haji Mohd Samsuri, who stressed the importance of cultivating a healthy lifestyle among members.
Key activities included aerobics sessions and flower-planting around Wisma PUSPANITA, combining fitness, teamwork and environmental stewardship.
Datin Hajah Siti Yuslaini said the theme “Puspa Sihat, Generasi Hebat” reflected the branch’s commitment to fostering healthy living practices, strengthening bonds among members, and instilling a sense of responsibility towards environmental sustainability.
“Through this theme, PUSPANITA Sabah Branch is committed to cultivating a healthy lifestyle culture, strengthening relationships among members, imbuing the spirit of patriotism, and nurturing shared responsibility for environmental sustainability,” she said.
She added that the spirit of independence should be translated into practices that benefit oneself, the community and the environment — not merely celebrated through official events and ceremonies.
The programme also underscored the importance of building a healthy, active and caring citizenry as the foundation for a prosperous and resilient society.
