Sports-themed floor mural in Klang school sets record
Greenbay CES employees and school staff after receiving the 'Malaysia Book of Records' plaque at SMK Bukit Tinggi Klang.
A FLOOR mural crafted entirely from sporting equipment has not only promoted youth development and sports accessibility in Klang, but also earned a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records.
Measuring 12.19m x 12.19m, the mural at SMK Bukit Tinggi in Klang, Selangor, features items such as balls, cones and racquets, assembled as part of a community-driven initiative.
Built by GreenBay CES staff and students, the mural was recognised as the 'Biggest Floor Mural Made of Sporting Goods' and later dismantled for distribution to 10 selected schools in Klang.
The initiative by Greenbay, a critical environment solutions company, was to help bolster the non-academic resources of selected schools.
'As we celebrate 10 years of growth, we wanted to do something historic and meaningful,' said GreenBay KL director Chong Lin Kong.
'This floor mural represents what we believe, which is real success lies in building people and giving back to the communities that grow with us.'
The five primary and five secondary schools across the Klang district were chosen based on recommendations from local education authorities.
The primary schools were SK Jalan Kebun, SK Telok Panglima Garang, SK Taman Klang Jaya, SK Batu Unjur and SK Bukit Tinggi.
The secondary schools were SMK Bukit Tinggi Klang, SMK Rantau Panjang, SMK Tengku Ampuan Jemaah, SMK Batu Unjur and SMK Raja Mahadi.
'Whether it is through our business or outreach, we aim to create a sustainable impact,' said GreenBay Penang & Vision System Aspire Tech director Feng Swee Boon.
'We are proud that our 10th anniversary was marked not only by a record, but also a lasting contribution to education and youth empowerment.'
Over 200 participants attended the event at SMK Bukit Tinggi Klang, which also featured family games, telematch-style activities and a long-service award ceremony for Greenbay staff.
'We are honoured to have hosted this inspiring event,' said SMK Bukit Tinggi Klang principal Norlia Zolkiaply.
'It was more than a celebration, it brought students, educators and industry leaders together in a meaningful way and showed how creativity and corporate social responsibility can go hand in hand.'
The Malaysia Book of Records plaque was presented during a ceremony, followed by a symbolic handover of sporting goods to selected schools.
Each item used in the mural was repacked and distributed to the schools involved.
