I am a heart patient and heart health advocate. My interest started when my brother, a champion mountain biker, died from a massive heart attack in October 2021. Then my husband suffered a heart attack 1 year later in 2022 and I became his main caregiver. From here I started learning about Malaysia’s heart health scenario, all the good, the bad and the ugly. My husband and I founded Pertubuhan Teras Jantung with the main goal to affect policies to advocate for heart health and heart patients specifically in Malaysia and generally in the Asia Pacific region, as it affects our communities closely. We have officially become an affiliate with Global Heart Hub. I have participated in an international heart summit in Bangkok, Thailand, organised by APAC-CVD, and a advocacy training in Milan, Italy organised by SDA Bocconi School of Management and Global Heart Hub. We continue to advocate for heart health mainly via early detection and a healthy lifestyle.
