Mass exercise

to promote fitness

SINGAPORE: More than 30,000 Singaporeans, including the island-state's prime minister, took part in a mass workout on Sunday, in what organisers said marked a world record for an aerobic event.

The participants, who included members of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong's cabinet and members of parliament, also took part in a 3.3-km (two mile) walk along Singapore's National Heritage Trail.

The event was part of a campaign to promote a healthy lifestyle among Singaporeans.-Reuter
