Second INTL River Marathon offers RM100,000 cash in prizes.


The second Malacca River International Marathon promises to be a great opportunity for local runners, with great prizes up for grabs.
The Malacca Historic City Council (MBMB) is the organiser for the event and the council expects to draw about 6,000 runners from all over the globe.
The marathon that will be held on Dec 20 is part of a precursor to the annual Malacca River International Festival.
About RM100,000 has been allocated for the run this year.
State Housing, Local Government and Environment committee chairman Datuk Ismail Othman said the start and finish point is at the iconic Dutch gate in Banda Hilir, and that the runners will have to pass the Malacca River as the main route.
This, he said, is aimed at promoting the river which was awarded the Cleanest River in Malaysia title.
There are 12 categories to be contested, all of which are categorised according to international standards.
These include the 42km, 21km, 10km and 5km categories. For the 42km marathon, the run starts as early as 4am.
Ismail said a lucky draw, with prizes totalling RM20,000, will also be held for all those who are participating.
"We hope the second marathon will attract more outstation folk. The event is also held to reflect MBMB’s motto 'Moving Together, Forward Together'," he said.
Interested participants can visitwww.liv3ly.com/registration/event/mrim2015 to register.
Online registration will be closed on Dec 13.
For inquiries, call the secretariat at MBMB’s Corporate Development and International Department at 06-285 9714 / 9717.

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
