Happy Deepavali!
Happy Deepavali ! Malaysia is unique. We are all different, yet we are the same. This Deepavali, we are once again reminded that we as Malaysians should respect and celebrate our differences at the same time embrace our similarities. During this festival of lights, why not let our inner light shine within us. Let us continue to respect each other as both individuals and as Malaysians. The Petronas advert always touch our hearts in some way. Yes, we call ourselves multiracial and harmonious, but there always exist some prejudice based on looks.

How To Take Care Of Our Heart Holistically
Let us all start taking care of our hearts before it’s too late. We are finding that in Malaysia, people are experiencing heart disease much earlier in life than previously expected.

We sure love our hawker food like char kueh tiaw, Kolomee and more that are laden with excessive oil. Eating these too much can lead to high cholesterol that in turn block our arteries and cause heart disease. Thankfully, I learned so much from joining the recent Walk…
