While the world and we Malaysians are under lockdown to fight the pandemic we are facing, some Malaysian resort to numerous activity to keep their heads held high to endure the Movement Control Order. Some try their hands in cooking, baking, up keeping or starting a fit and healthy lifestyle and some to creating positive vibe through music. 

Thrillhoodz Rydahz, a Malaysian Hip-hop Rap group, created Aku Takut Rona, not just to pass the time, but to emphasize the importance of fighting the COVID-19 by wearing a mask, social distancing and staying at home. Inspired by all the ‘struggles’ of staying at home, the song is also a tribute to all our heroic front liners who are referred to in the song as our very own Marvel Avengers. Harivarmaa Perumal@ Hust, 31 and Muhammad Shafie Othman@ Young Caddy, 34 have been producing music together since 2015 and aim to make music that relates to everyone as well as to channel positivity. Aku Takut Rona started when Shafie  sent an instrumental with a hook out of boredom to Harivarmaa while scrolling through quarantine memes.

Their songs Tell Me Somethin’ and now Aku Takut Rona appeal to the younger generation with the objectives of entertaining their fans and getting social messages to the masses. The ‘Aku Takut Rona’ music video was launched on 18.4.2020 via  and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/track/6k36huUaUrsjvGauO9nxoe)  and Youtube (https://youtu.be/keH1bxpXzzQ)  shared in Facebook (facebook.com/ThrillHoodzRydahz/) and Instagram (@thrillhoodzrydahz) and since have gotten encouraging engagement in the social media platforms and people at home started their own challenges showing their creativity/talent such as dancing, drawing and even parody as the song played in the background. 

Do remember to check out Aku Takut Rona and support local music. For more information contact Harivarmaa aka Hust via thrillhoodzrydahz@gmail.com or 010 2178331. 

While much of the country and the world remains under quarantine or even a lockdown, there is an increasing emphasis on the importance of remaining physically active. 

In the United States, the stay-at-home orders are less strict than other parts of the world, and often still allow for exercising outdoors. 

Even if you can’t exercise outdoors, finding some physical activity you can do in your home is so important. Physical activity helps your immune system and can also help you combat some of the underlying conditions that tend to lead to more severe outcomes with covid-19, such as hypertension and obesity. 

If you’re not active, it can increase the likelihood of diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and it can also increase muscle stiffness or chronic pain. 

Physical activity is also critical for improving your mental health and well being. 

At a time when we’re all feeling unprecedented levels of stress, the importance of maintaining our mental health can’t be overstated.

The following are some things to know as far as how exercise affects our mental health. 

Depression

There are some studies that have found exercising can be as effective as a treatment for mild to moderate depression as some antidepressant medications. 

For example, a team at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found running 15 minutes a day or walking for an hour lowered the risk of major depression by 26%. 

If you are struggling to maintain your sobriety, which may be especially challenging right now, exercise can help in that area too.

When you exercise, it can reduce the inflammation in your brain and create new patterns of activity that help you feel calm and boost your sense of well-being. 

Exercise also releases endorphins that make you feel good. 

If you’re struggling with spending so much time at home right now, exercise can also create a sense of structure in your day and help you break out from a cycle of negative thoughts. 

Anxiety

Anxiety is an incredibly common condition among Americans.

Exercise can help you through the release of endorphins, and it can give you a boost of energy, mentally and physically. 

You can also integrate mindfulness into your exercise routine, which can help you combat your anxiety in two ways.

Other Mental Health Benefits of Exercise

Even if you don’t deal with a specific mental health condition like anxiety or depression, exercise can promote a better overall sense of well-being.

Some of the potential mental health benefits of exercise include:

Something Is Better Than Nothing

Sometimes when it comes to working out, we can become burdened by the idea that if we’re not going all out then our efforts aren’t worth it, and that’s not true. Even exercising for short bursts of 5 to 10 minutes at a moderate intensity can do wonders for your mental and physical health. 

If you can start short and easy, it makes it mentally easier to begin a new routine. Then you can gradually work your way up as you’re ready. 

If you can find a way to exercise that you enjoy, it will also help you stick with it. Maybe that means that you do at-home workouts, or perhaps you find that you like walking or running outside. 

If you aren’t disciplined, make yourself accountable by involving other people. This might mean joining a group exercise class or boot camp or hiring a trainer. 

You can even find online group classes or personal training online right now, during the coronavirus pandemic. 

If you do one thing for yourself today or this week, try to make it incorporating physical activity into your daily routine. Your body and your mind will see benefits from doing so.

Columbia Asia telah memenuhi keperluan penjagaan kesihatan warga Malaysia selama lebih dari 20 tahun. Setelah berjaya melancarkan salah sebuah hospital utama kami, Columbia Asia Hospital - Iskandar Puteri, pada tahun 2010, kami sukacita memperkenalkan hospital kedua kami di Johor iaitu Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau.

Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau mula beroperasi pada 27hb November, 2019. Ia merupakan hospital Columbia Asia yang ke-13 di Malaysia dan ke-19 di Asia Tenggara. Bangunan setinggi empat tingkat ini merupakan yang terbesar antara semua hospital Columbia Asia di Malaysia.

Terletak di hab kediaman dengan kadar lalu lintas yang tinggi di Kota Southkey, hospital ini terletak hanya 7 km dari pusat bandar Johor Bahru serta dikelilingi oleh kawasan perumahan seperti Taman Sentosa, Taman Sri Tebrau, Kampung Melayu Majidee, Taman Pelangi, Taman Abad, Taman Kebun Teh, Taman Century, Taman Melodies, Taman Suria dan Taman Kota Southkey.  Hospital ini juga dilengkapi dengan lebih 200 tempat letak kereta bagi memenuhi keperluan masyarakat Tebrau yang semakin berkembang.

Selain daripada kemudahan moden dan kepakaran tinggi, Columbia Asia Hospital mempelopori trend penjagaan kesihatan swasta dengan rawatan perubatan yang terkini dan kurang invasif lantas memendekkan tempoh tinggal di hospital. Struktur penetapan harganya adalah telus dan lebih kompetitif berbanding model standard khidmat kesihatan swasta.

Program perubatan di Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau meliputi Kardiologi, Perubatan Dalaman, Telinga, Hidung & Tekak (ENT), Pembedahan Am, Obstetrik dan Ginekologi, Pediatrik, Ortopedik, Radiologi dan Anestesiologi.

Hospital ini juga menempatkan Makmal Pengkateteran Jantung (Cardiac Catheterization Lab), Bilik Litotripsi, Mamografi, Ultrabunyi, 128-slice CT Scan, 1.5 Tesla MRI, Farmasi, Makmal, Bilik Fisioterapi, Ruang Pengasingan, ICU, Bilik Bersalin dan lima Dewan Bedah berkemudahan lengkap.

"Keputusan untuk membina hospital Columbia Asia kedua di Johor berdasarkan kajian kami tentang kurangnya kemudahan khidmat kesihatan di kawasan sini. Tambahan lagi, penduduk Johor Bahru semakin ramai. Kerana itu, kami memberi pilihan kepada pesakit yang datang untuk mendapatkan rawatan perubatan," kata Pengurus Besar Serantau Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau dan Iskandar Puteri, Puan Rahani Yaacob.

Memandangkan kapasiti hospital Columbia Asia di Iskandar Puteri hampir penuh, Rahani menjelaskan bahawa inilah masa yang sesuai untuk memperluaskan lagi kumpulan hospital ini di Johor. Dengan pembukaan Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau, keperluan khidmat kesihatan di Johor Bahru akan dapat memenuhi permintaan yang tinggi.

"Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau adalah satu-satunya hospital dalam kumpulan kami yang mempunyai kapasiti 205 buah katil. Ini berbeza daripada struktur hospital biasa kami. Kemudahan perubatan lain mempunyai kapasiti tidak lebih daripada 100 buah katil setiap hospital. Dengan permintaan tinggi bagi khidmat kesihatan swasta di Johor, kami membuat keputusan untuk membina sebuah hospital Columbia Asia yang lebih besar di Tebrau untuk memenuhi keperluan kesihatan masyarakat di sini," tambah Rahani.

Memandangkan peningkatan bilangan pesakit warga asing yang meningkat di Malaysia, Columbia Asia Hospital – Tebrau bersedia untuk memenuhi permintaan yang semakin meningkat, termasuk permintaan dari Singapura dan Indonesia.

"Selain menyediakan akses penjagaan kesihatan swasta yang berkualiti kepada penduduk Johor, hospital baharu ini turut mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan. Bukan itu sahaja. Kami mempunyai pelbagai kempen menarik yang telah dirancang, untuk menggalakkan gaya hidup sihat di kalangan penduduk tempatan," kata Rahani.

Dalam bulan Disember tahun lalu, kempen 'AyuhSihat!' telah diadakan sempena pembukaan hospital di Tebrau. Kempen yang terbuka kepada orang awam ini merupakan hari yang menyeronokkan dengan pelbagai aktiviti yang sesuai untuk semua peringkat umur, pemeriksaan kesihatan dan tawaran istimewa untuk pakej yang ditawarkan oleh hospital kami. Acara itu bertujuan untuk mendorong para hadirin untuk mengamalkan gaya hidup sihat. Hasil jualan tiket Ayuh Sihat diserahkan kepada Yayasan Kanser Laksamana Johor.

Sunway Iskandar, 14 April 2020 - Following Sunway Group’s commitment of RM 34 million in aid which will reach 40,000 beneficiaries nationwide including COVID-19 patients who have lost their jobs, public hospitals and their healthcare frontliners, affected non-essential tenants in Sunway’s malls, and contributions to B40 communities, Sunway Property’s regional teams has worked to extend additional aid to state and city councils, the police force and local public healthcare institutions who are working to combat COVID-19 within local communities in support of their tireless fight to end the spread of the pandemic. 

On April 7, Sunway Berhad Executive Director and Property Division Managing Director, Sarena Cheah had handed over Sunway Berhad’s RM 1 million donation to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for the national COVID-19 fund. 

“Today we stand in solidarity with the communities we serve against the largest challenge faced by humanity in recent history. While we are all doing our part by staying at home, our hearts go out to all the selfless heroes and frontliners who are fighting for us during these trying times,” said Sunway Property. 

To date, Sunway Property’s additional initiatives has benefitted another 3,500 beneficiaries in various communities nationwide. 

In the Klang Valley, Sunway Property has worked with the Petaling Jaya City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya, MBPJ) to distribute food to communities in need and frontliners as well as the Kota Damansara Legislative Assembly to distribute hand sanitisers to frontliners. The aid to MBPJ had benefited the PJ City Food Bank which had distributed food to the urban poor, orphanages, organisations for the differently-abled, senior citizen homes and single mothers throughout the city as well as food to the frontliners in University Malaya Medical Centre. The Kota Damansara Legislative Assembly had distributed hand sanitisers to frontliners around Kota Damansara including Neighbourhood Watch groups (Rukun Tetangga), Residents Associations, Village Chiefs (Ketua Kampung) and private security personnel in residential areas who are on patrol duties. 

In Johor, Sunway Property has extended support to the Iskandar Puteri District Police Headquarters and the Sultanah Aminah Hospital to supply items needed for ongoing security and healthcare operations. The private security personnel and law enforcement personnel received face masks and sanitisers while the Sultanah Aminah Hospital received face masks, hand sanitisers and infrared forehead thermometers. 

Harvest from Sunway Property’s organic farms in Ipoh is now committed to serving healthcare professionals and patients in the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital. The twice weekly deliveries will benefit the patients’ with specific nutritional needs as well as the healthcare professionals until April 14, which has been set as the end of the second phase of Movement Control Order. Currently about 750 patients and healthcare workers are benefiting from the deliveries which are carried out twice a week. More than 130 kgs of vegetables have been delivered so far. 

In Penang, Sunway Property is working with the Mutiara Food Bank under the Penang State Welfare Department to contribute groceries to the underserved community and families which need them the most. Sunway Property Penang also contributed face masks to the Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang council for distribution to the frontliners. 

Sunway Property’s staff are also donating to the #Sunwayforgood Fund which has been established by Sunway employees. The Fund intends to provide Sunway’s frontliners with additional support as well as well benefit even more B40 families around Sunway’s communities.
