KL Wellness City Unveils 624-Bed Tertiary Hospital & Commits RM2 Million to Aid B40 Community in Alignment with Ministry of Health Goals

It was my first time visiting KL Wellness City and I am really amazed with this place and already looking forward to its project completion. On 2 May 2024, the inaugural tertiary hospital of KL Wellness City (KLWC) – the first purpose-built township in Southeast Asia, has been unveiled under KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd. The initial phase of KLIH is poised to achieve a development worth of RM1 billion, aiming for completion by the second quarter of 2026 and an anticipated inauguration in the third quarter of the same year. Presently, the groundwork has been finalized, and construction of the main structure is proceeding at full pace.

For your information, KLIH is positioned to become a tertiary hospital with 624 beds, expandable to accommodate up to 1,000 beds. It will feature cutting-edge facilities aimed at delivering a holistic and integrated healthcare service ecosystem, aligning with the broader healthcare and wellness principles established within KL Wellness City. Phase 1 of the 624-bed tertiary hospital is slated for completion in Q2 2026, with a development value at RM1 billion.

I would like to congratulate KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd on the momentous launch of the international tertiary hospital in KL Wellness City. This visionary development augurs well and complements the Government’s vision and effort to be the world’s leading medical and healthcare one stop centre. I’m pleased to see a strong commitment in investing and leveraging on information and communications technology (ICT) within the hospital, in its quest to be equipped with the first and best medical innovation including robotics in Malaysia.

said Health Minister YB Datuk Seri Dr. Haji Dzulkefly Ahmad

In the event, The Ministry of Health extends its heartfelt gratitude to KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd for their generous pledge of RM2 million to assist B40 individuals in accessing medical treatment. This significant contribution strengthens the endeavors to deliver healthcare services to marginalized communities, underscoring the mutual dedication to health equity in Malaysia. Additionally, the Ministry commends KL Wellness City for their ongoing initiatives to bring happiness to various communities during this festive season, particularly the children. Their dedication truly enriches the lives of individuals within the society.

KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd has committed RM2 million to aid the medical requirements of Malaysia’s B40 community. This endeavor resonates with the company’s mission to promote wellness and nurture a fully inclusive society, concurrently supporting the Ministry of Health’s objectives in addressing the healthcare needs of underprivileged individuals in Malaysia. This pledge arrives at an opportune juncture following the recent introduction of the Health Equity For Affordable and Rapid Treatment (HEART) program, providing complimentary treatment to patients from public hospitals. Such initiatives bolster the Ministry of Health’s dedication to accessible healthcare through robust collaborations between the public and private sectors.

As we launch the KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd within the KL Wellness City, we’re constructing not just a state-of-the-art facility but infusing it with a cutting-edge healthcare ecosystem. This development represents our commitment to enhancing the standard of living through integrated wellness and healthcare, setting a new benchmark for medical excellence in Malaysia as well as Southeast Asia. Our aim is clear: to redefine the boundaries of healthcare, attract top-tier medical talent and provide unparalleled patient care.

said Dato’ Dr. Colin Lee, Managing Director of KL Wellness City Sdn Bhd.

Strategically situated in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, with convenient proximity to international airports, KLIH will boast 22 operating theaters, incorporating facilities for robotic surgery and two hybrid operating theaters. Through its comprehensive range of medical services, spanning intricate surgeries to tertiary and secondary care, the hospital endeavors to draw top specialists to elevate patient care and leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce patient wait times. Moreover, the hospital is actively pursuing Green Building Index certification, emphasizing its commitment to sustainable development in tandem with its global healthcare offerings.

I’m glad that I attended the event to witness the meaningful event.

This collaboration aims to celebrate the essence of Mother’s and Father’s Day by highlighting the significance of family connections through travel experiences. The series focuses on fostering intimate interactions between parents and children, fostering warmth and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

The inaugural season of ‘SHARP Travel with Mommy’ 带阿母去旅行 premiered in 2023, garnering widespread acclaim and high viewership ratings. It even clinched the prestigious ‘Best Lifestyle Programme’ award for the Malaysia region at the Asian Academy Creatives Awards. Now, the eagerly awaited second season is set to debut on 12 May 2024, at 9:30 pm on Astro AEC, Astro GO, On Demand, and sooka. This season expands its focus to include the entire family, promising to create unforgettable memories together. Viewers can expect to be taken on a journey to both international destinations like Australia, Macau, and Taiwan, as well as local Malaysian gems such as Sitiawan and Pangkor Island, in search of the perfect family getaway spot.

Local TV personality and SHARP’s Parents’ Day campaign ambassador, Jason Yeoh, graced the event alongside his mother, Madam Lim Poh Choo. Together, they shared touching anecdotes about their travels made possible by SHARP’s innovative products. Their stories underscored the significant influence these journeys had on their family life, emphasizing the importance of quality time spent together.

The theme of travelling with parents has resonated strongly with our audience, and following the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our first season with Astro, we were eager to launch the second season. This new season honours all parents by expanding the program to include the entire family. Our aim for the ‘SHARP Travel with Parents’ SHARP 带爸妈去旅行series is to craft special moments that every family member can treasure.

said Mr Ting Yang Chung, Managing Director of SHARP Malaysia

This year, ‘SHARP Travels with Parents’ SHARP 带爸妈去旅行 goes beyond showcasing scenic destinations suitable for elderly parents. It also encourages viewers to fulfill their parents’ travel dreams while they still can.

In honor of Parents’ Day, SHARP conducted a street interview, gathering insights from 50 Malaysian participants. Many expressed a strong desire to travel with their parents but found planning the trip challenging due to a lack of information. Additionally, over 80% of respondents planned to purchase home appliances as gifts during Parents’ Day, with televisions and refrigerators emerging as the popular choices.

To address this growing demand, SHARP has introduced a special Parents’ Day promotion aimed at assisting Malaysian families in upgrading their home appliances to express gratitude to their loved ones. The promotion features discounts of up to 40% and includes complimentary gifts with purchases, encompassing over 70 products including televisions, washing machines, and air conditioners. Furthermore, SHARP is gearing up to launch a travel content series on Facebook and Xiao Hong Shu, offering valuable insights and travel tips for upcoming family adventures.

Taste the Tradition: Xin Cuisine’s Dim Sum Delights in Concorde Hotel KL

In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, there’s a special place called Xin Cuisine. It’s part of the Concorde Hotel, known for its great food and nice atmosphere. With its elegant ambiance and delectable offerings, Xin Cuisine has carved a niche for itself as a premier destination for lovers of Chinese cuisine, specifically dim sums & roasted meat, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
