26 MARCH 2000 : IEM JOG A ROUND

That's a wonderful piece of event history!

The IEM is the premier professional body for engineers in Malaysia. The jog-a-round event was likely one of the many community and networking activities they organize for their members.

The image documents the IEM Jog-A-Round event held at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur (KL), on March 26, 2000.

IEM stands for the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, and this photograph captures a moment from one of their community or member-focused events, likely a family fun-run or jog/walk around the lake park. It shows a group of participants, including adults and children, perhaps gathered for a warm-up or cool-down.

It's a great snapshot that blends the social history of the engineering community in Malaysia with the history of the iconic Taman Tasik Titiwangsa park.

TAMAN TASIK TITIWANGSA

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa is one of Kuala Lumpur's most iconic and well-loved urban parks, serving as a "green lung" for the city. Located North east fringe of Kuala Lumpur city center. It was declared opened on February 1,1980.

Titiwangsa is the name of the main mountain range (Banjaran Titiwangsa) that forms the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia, and the name was chosen to reflect the greenery and natural scenery.

The Park in 2000 (and Today):

• It boasts a vast area, centered around a large lake (approx. 57 hectares).
• It offers stunning, iconic views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower in the background—a view often captured from the park.
• Main Activities: Jogging, walking, cycling, boating (kayak/pedal boats) on the lake, and enjoying the numerous playgrounds and picnic spots.

The IEM chose an excellent, beautiful spot for their community run back in 2000!
