PETALING JAYA: The haze blanketing much of the Klang Valley did not stop Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad from taking part in one of his favourite leisure activities – horse riding.
Aided by an early-morning drizzle which helped to improve the air quality, the Prime Minister went horse-riding this morning at the Equine Centre at Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang.
"This is among his favourite activities which he has not had time to do for a long time due to time constraints.The posting was accompanied by a one-minute, 59-second video clip which showed the 94-year-old Dr Mahathir wearing a face mask, mounting a horse and riding. After dismounting, he is seen feeding carrots to the horse, and later gives a thumbs-up sign for the camera.
Putrajaya, which is near Serdang, had an Air Pollutant Index reading of 96 as at 11am, which is classified as moderate.
