The route started from the Taman to Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha Bridge and back. The Cabinet ministers also toured exhibition booths comprising event partners. The new BN on the Move is a follow-up to the previous iteration on August 14 last year. The new initiative began this month and will conclude in December 2023. Based on the success of the first BN on the Move, the updated version comes with new features where users can report various physical activities, including swimming, cycling, gym activities and warm-up exercises. Meanwhile, the Gamification feature provides competition or challenges for individuals and teams and interact with other users through the leaderboard system. A Brupoints system will also be introduced to incentivise users by offering rewards when the user meets the individual and team targets. The incentive point system is known as BruPoints Mall. – James Kon
