  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: RENN Asia Wellness is providing free health screenings to the first 1,000 Malaysians until November 30, or as long as the allocation lasts, in an effort to promote early detection of health risks, including cardiovascular diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The wellness center's initiative is part of the government's Hari Kebangsaan Hari Malaysia campaign. The free health checks include an AtCor Arterial Stiffness Test, Quantum Vitamin & Mineral Analysis, and MicroCirculation Analysis. The initiative's founder and CEO, Jonathan Chew, emphasizes that preventive health should be an integral part of routine health management. He states that many health conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms, meaning that not feeling unwell does not necessarily mean that everything is fine. Regular assessments allow individuals to better understand their health and take appropriate action sooner if necessary. Chew adds that preventive health should be seen as a long-term investment, rather than just an additional healthcare expense. He highlights that Malaysia continues to grapple with the long-term health and economic consequences of NCDs and that preventive health measures should be considered a priority.",
