Syed Saddiq began the four day “gratitude run” at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya and is expected to cover approximately 170km before reaching his constituency in Muar.

The run was organised following his acquittal in a corruption case, with Syed Saddiq saying he wanted to thank the people of Muar for supporting him throughout his six year legal battle.

### Funds to support students and families

According to Syed Saddiq, the money raised will be used to create a foodbank and provide iPads to underprivileged students entering university and food baskets to families in need in Muar.

He previously said he chose the Palace of Justice as the starting point to acknowledge the judiciary’s role as the people’s final avenue for justice.
