PPB Properties, in collaboration with Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Selangor and the Selangor Committee on Resuscitation Training, is set to host a community health campaign at Cheras LeisureMall on 20 and 21 June 2026. The initiative, “Together for Health,” seeks to address Malaysia’s rising heart health concerns by equipping the public with lifesaving CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) skills.
The campaign will offer CPR and AED training to 1,200 participants aged 12 and above, conducted by certified trainers. This comes as Malaysia grapples with alarming health statistics, including one in six adults living with diabetes and nearly one in three with hypertension and high cholesterol, according to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2023. The event aims to improve the country’s out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates, which currently stand below 5%.
In addition to emergency response training, the event will feature health screenings, talks by medical practitioners, and interactive fitness challenges. These activities aim to foster a culture of preventive healthcare and wellness across all age groups.
The campaign builds on the success of the Selangor Heart Safe initiative, which trained nearly 700 people in April 2025. Participation in the training sessions is free, with online pre-registration encouraged. This initiative underscores the importance of early health intervention and public awareness in combating chronic diseases and improving emergency preparedness.
