to educate the public via a Mobile Medical Outreach
van manned by medical professionals. The van will
be visiting schools, colleges, malls and community
centers across the country to conduct health checks
The Mobile Medical Outreach will be made
available to the public at schools, colleges,
shopping malls, and community centres. The Club
will be offering free screening for members of the
public and is looking forward to screening 10,000
Malaysians. We thank our corporate sponsors like
Fusionex, Gintell, Subway and Celcom for their
generous support towards this good cause.”

for the public.
The event saw close to 400 members of the public
receiving free health checkups including Body
Mass Index, blood pressure, blood sugar and total
cholesterol tests. The health tests were conducted by
voluntary nurses and the program is slated to run for
two years.
YB Dzulkefly said, “The Ministry is extremely proud
of the initiative taken by the Rotary Club, as this is
in line with the Ministry’s Strategic Plan for Non-
Communicable Diseases, to enhance cooperation with
the private sector and NGOs to improve the health of
the citizens.”
RCKL DiRaja President Datuk Seri Nelson Kwok
said, “The Mobile Medical Outreach will be made avail-
able to the public at schools, colleges, shopping malls,
and community centres. The Club will be offering free
screening for members of the public and is looking
forward to screening 10,000 Malaysians. We thank
our corporate sponsors like Fusionex, Gintell, Subway

Fusionex Founder and Group CEO Dato’ Seri Ivan
Teh said, “We are pleased to play a part in this noble
medical program that the Rotary Club has initiated.
We trust that such initiatives will have a profound
and catalytic impact to the people. At Fusionex, we
encourage a healthy lifestyle and we strongly believe
that prevention is better than cure. The ‘3 Highs’
program does precisely this – the program creates
awareness, encourages people to check on their health
statuses regularly; and hopefully prevents or at least
minimizes unwanted diseases. I urge the public to
make full use of this facility offered by the Rotary
Club in getting free checkups as well as learning how
they and their loved ones can live better, healthier
lives.” — The Health
