4 April 2010, Taman Chi Liung Klang – the heat did not
dissuade the crowd from congregating during the opening of Klang
Adventist Community Health Centre or KACC for short. The centre,
formed in collaboration with Malaysia Health Promotion Board (LPKM)
is dedicated for the common people within Klang vicinity. “This
centre is for you, people around this community; we are passionate
about helping Malaysians live a healthier lifestyle,” says Jane Yap
during her speech. Pastor Leong Fai, PEM’s president did the honor
of cutting the ribbon assisted by Ms Florence Devany, the newly
appointed leader of the Klang Health Centre.
The guest-of-honor, Y.B. Manoharan, who came in late
due to prior appointment, extended his appreciation to the Seventh
Day Adventist church in making the effort to champion the health of
the people. He added that we need more centres, especially in
supporting the government with its “No Smoking” program, among other
things.
The KACC project in collaboration with LPKM is entitled
“Prevention Against Hypertension through Lifestyle Changes” was the
key program of the centre; this include BP Screening, Health
Lectures, Health Counselling, Exercise program, Massage, Cooking
