00:00At the top of the Anjara-Long River in Selangor,
00:03I became a witness to the unity of the soul
00:05in the mission to protect the health of the heart
00:08through the IJN-KHK Land Ride For Your Heart 2025 bicycle race.
00:19Ride For Your Heart 2025 has attracted more than 1,500 bicycle enthusiasts
00:24to succeed in the Heart and Active Life Health Campaign.
00:28The main objective of this year's race
00:31is to raise awareness of heart health among Malaysians.
00:36The race, which starts at 7am,
00:38is divided into three categories,
00:41115km, 60km and a fun ride of 18km.
00:45I'm getting older, so I do strive for a healthy lifestyle.
00:48So I want to support events like this that are pushing for the same thing.
00:50When I cycle four times a week, I run twice a week and I try and eat healthy.
00:55Today's event is IJN-KHK.
00:58Basically, my friends told me about this event.
01:01We signed up a few months ago.
01:04So we're quite excited about joining this event.
01:08So this is the first cycling event for the year.
01:10So far, alhamdulillah, we're actually veterans.
01:13Actually, we're 40.
01:16Alhamdulillah, I think among our friends,
01:17we have the awareness.
01:20So we use a heart monitor,
01:22we always look at the heart rate, make sure, what's the limit, all that.
01:26Promoting this healthy lifestyle
01:30is the job of the government, the Ministry of Health and many other parties.
01:35And it has to be part of the culture.
01:39Although this race is in the form of a competition,
01:43which is also quite serious.
01:44IJN is the sponsor of this program
01:49so that our athletes and our public can take better care of their health.
01:56Especially for IJN,
01:58sports cardiology is one of the new specialties
02:03that we want to introduce to the Malaysian public.
02:07It is very crucial at the present moment.
02:09I think a lot of people actually have a heart condition that they don't know.
02:13This, by bringing the awareness to the people
02:16with regards to the conditions of their heart, is very important.
02:21This is because cycling is my hobby and I love cycling.
02:27My name is Roy, I'm 67 years old.
02:31Yes, I'm also a heart patient.
