Kebayarobics

The group has been around for more than 10 years and during that time, members come and go. The group encourages women to exercise and discourage excessive eating however it up to individual to play their part.

Wearing scarves, long pants and t-shirt can suffocate and dehydrate people,this shouldnt be supported by these women.

Most of the women in the group are Muslims whereby the need to cover themselves is a must. Religion should not be made as an excuse to exercise.So far the group has been around for 10 years, there have not been any members who faint out of dehydration or suffocation.

I realized that the group only takes Malay women. There are no other races or women with different religion in this group?

That is not true. There were 9 Chinese and 2 Indian ladies who joined the group but have left due to personal reasons. We welcomed people of all races to join the group. In fact with the launch of Kebayarobics we teach women of all races the steps. One good example are the teachers from MOE. The majority of them is Chinese and has enjoyed the Kebayarobics.

How would we know if a person teaching Kebayarobics is genuine?

Instructors who teach Kebayarobics will have to undergo classes on it and have to attained the certificate and make an agreement with the founder of the kebayarobics that is Mdm Kartini A Rahman; before able to teach. Hence if an individual is not able to provide a genuine certificate (the certificate is supported by Health Promotion Board, Singapore), the instructor is not certifiedto teach or not teaching the real kebayarobics.
