Healthcare experts address escalating heart disease risks, including high cholesterol.

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 September 2024—To mark World Heart Day, observed annually on 29 September, (IJN) held a public health forum titled “30s and Thriving: Prioritize Heart Health Early.” The event aimed to raise awareness about the increasing risks of high cholesterol and cardiovascular health issues among young adults in their 30s and 40s.

The forum featured a comprehensive panel of IJN’s experts, including a cardiologist, physiotherapist, and dietitian, alongside patient and influencer Ili Sulaiman. Moderated by Dr Rowina Lynne, a Clinical Cardiologist at IJN, the session was part of IJN’s World Heart Day 2024 campaign under the theme “Neon Sparks, Healthy Heart Embarks.”

Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr Mohamed Ezani Md Taib, Chief Executive Officer of IJN, emphasised the institute’s commitment to enhancing Malaysian’s heart health, stating, “At IJN, we are dedicated to providing exceptional cardiovascular care and bridging the gap between the public and healthcare. These initiatives, like today’s forum, reflect our broader mission to instil a sense of urgency, especially among younger adults, to take charge of their heart health and see their doctors for regular screenings.”

(Second from left) Mr Sarjit Singh Johal, Physiotherapist at the National Heart Institute sharing his expert opinion on the importance of regular physical activity in managing cholesterol levels during the ‘30s and Thriving: Prioritize Heart Health Early’ public health forum by the National Heart Institute.

The open forum focused on essential heart health topics such as understanding cholesterol levels, risk factors associated with heart disease, and proactive measures to prevent heart diseases. The audience gained valuable insights into the importance of recognising warning signs and how early medical intervention can greatly improve a patient’s health and quality of life.

Speaking at the forum, Datuk Dr Ahmad Khairuddin, Senior Consultant Cardiologist at IJN, shared insights into the prevalence of high cholesterol among young Malaysians. “High cholesterol is a major risk factor for sudden heart attacks and strokes.  According to the National Health & Morbidity Survey 2023, 7.6 million adults have high cholesterol in Malaysia,1 and it’s increasingly affecting individuals aged 25-29, putting them at a heightened risk for heart disease,2” he said.

Popular influencer and chef Ili Sulaiman also shared her personal experience of suffering a heart attack earlier this year. “I was only 38 years old when I had a heart attack. In retrospect, there were warning signs, such as regular inflammation and high-stress levels, that I overlooked prior. As a mother and wife, my health has now become a top priority so I can be there for my family. I urge everyone, especially those in their 30s, to get checked for high cholesterol and protect your heart today,” she added.

Other speakers at the forum included Sarjit Singh Jahal, a physiotherapist at IJN, who discussed the importance of regular physical activity in managing cholesterol levels and stress. Foong Pui Hing, Senior Principal Dietitian at IJN, also highlighted heart-friendly foods, such as oily fish, vegetable oils, beans, peas, fruits, and vegetables, which can help manage cholesterol levels.

As part of its World Heart Day initiatives, IJN is collaborating with several industry partners, including AstraZeneca. IJN will also be hosting a week-long campaign at AEON Shah Alam from 24th to 29th September 2024 with interactive activities, informational booths, offers on exclusive heart screening packages, a wholesome meal cooking challenge, special deals at the IJN First pharmacy, and many more.

An anthology centred around human greed

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 SEPTEMBER 2024 – Renowned Malaysian filmmaker Jared Lee continues to make his mark with the nationwide debut of his anthology film, Grimoire, screening at Golden Screen Cinemas from 3 – 30 October 2024, as part of GSC International Screens under its Malaysia Animation Film Festival efforts to showcase local talents. This much-anticipated release highlights a defining milestone in Jared’s illustrious career, further solidifying his influence in both the Malaysian and international film industries.

Crowed gathered for the premiere of Grimoire at GSC Mid Valley Megamall.

Grimoire is a meta-narrative that seamlessly intertwines three of Jared’s celebrated works: The Last 7, Influencer, and Horologist. The film invites audiences on a cinematic journey that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, which follows an old man who serves as the vessel for this introspective narrative. The anthology not only emphasises the transformative power of creativity but also demonstrates the resilience required to overcome self-doubt and external skepticism. Notably, Horologist made history as the first Malaysian film to win Best Animation at the prestigious San Diego Comic-Con Film Festival in 2023.

Jared Lee (also the founder of Grim Film) shared that Grimoire is more than just an anthology film – it is a project that encapsulates the essence of his journey as a filmmaker.

“Grimoire represents a culmination of my work and the exploration of creativity amidst challenges. Each story in the anthology is inspired by observation and experience with the dark side of human nature,” Jared added.

“Producing Grimoire was both an exhilarating and challenging experience. From the visual effects in The Last 7 to the budgetary constraints of Influencer, each film demanded a different level of originality and resourcefulness. Nevertheless, it was the dedication of my team that made it all possible, and I am immensely grateful for their persistent support.”

The premiere was attended by the casts of Grimoire alongside other prominent local celebrities, including Marianne Tan, Joseph Lee, and Yuna, accentuating the rising prominence of Malaysian talent within the local film industry. Since founding Grim Film in 2011, Jared has made a significant impact on the cinematic world with his unique storytelling. His earlier works, including the viral The Long Distance Relationship, set the stage for his growing influence in the industry. With numerous accolades under his belt, including Tokyo Short Shorts, LA Shorts International Film Festival, Show Me Shorts Film Festival and other Oscar / BAFTA qualifying film festivals, Jared continues to push the boundaries of creative storytelling.

“The past 13 years have been a very challenging journey, and it’s going to be a lot harder from here on. Grimoire is merely the beginning of an arduous path, despite knowing what lies ahead, the dream chase continues. As always,” Jared concluded.

Grimoire is made possible with the support of its valued sponsors and partners:

  • GSC International Screens
  • Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)
  • FINAS
  • SLPR Worldwide
  • Origin Studios
  • Cold Ramen Studio
  • Soundmob Enterprise
