In conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007, one of event that was held yesterday was the Florathon event where more that 1000 participants took part in the 3km walk. This event marked the start of Flora Fest which will be held until Feb 4. It was held at Dataran Merdeka and was flagged off by our Tourism Minister.
Unlike the normal marathon or walkathon where participants are judged based on the how fast they finished the course, florathon participants are judged based on how well they dressed themselves with floral themed costumes.

Many tourists from Ireland, United Kingdom, and other countries joined in the Kuala Lumpur festival for a morning of fun and excitement.
