Kuching- World's Healthiest City

Being a Sarawakian or a Kuchingnite is proud! Not just once, not the first time, that our city is being recognised with such international honour. Locally, Kuching is always the cleanest city in Malaysia. Let's keep it up for our beloved Cat City.

KUCHING, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- Kuching is the healthiest city in the world this year.
The Sarawak state capital, on the northwestern tip of Borneo Island, won two international honours -- "Good Practices of Healthy Cities 2006" and "Pioneers in Healthy Cities 2006" -- awarded by the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC) in Suzhou, China, on Oct 30.

"This is the second time Kuching is voted the world's healthiest city. We won it for the first time in 2002," Deputy State Secretary Datuk Morshidi Gani said at a press conference, here Monday.
Kuching hosted the first Asean Healthy Cities Conference in June 2002 and the AFHC General Assembly in October 2004.

It adopted the healthy city concept implemented in Brighton, England.
