Three hundred people performed one-arm push ups together in one minute, setting a record for “most people performing one-arm push ups” in the Guinness World Records today.

Participants included members of the Police Force and Auxiliary Police, and sports elites.

They performed the feat at the One-Arm Push Up Challenge closing ceremony, co-organised by the Police Public Relations Branch and the Society for Abandoned Animals, to promote caring for animals and to raise funds for disabled or abandoned animals.

Police launched a 10-week publicity campaign online to encourage the public to do one-arm push ups to experience the hardship of disabled animals.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Police Director of Operations Tang Ping-keung thanked community leaders and the public for their participation and support.

The event resulted in a donation amounting to more than $1 million for the Society for Abandoned Animals.
