The key highlight of the event was the official launch of iLawan Lupus: A Patient Dialogue Book on SLE, developed by AstraZeneca. The book captures real patient voices and narratives, offering a vital platform for advocacy, empathy, and greater understanding of the lupus journey. This initiative serves as a vital resource to bridge communication gaps between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.

The spirit of solidarity was palpable on Sunday morning as more than 500 participants gathered at Laman Astaka, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa for Walk-A-Payung 2025, a symbolic 3KM walkathon organised by Persatuan SLE Malaysia (PSLEM), in partnership with Faculty of Medicine & HCTM, UKM in conjunction with World Lupus Day.

Walking under umbrellas – a visual metaphor for protection against sun exposure, a major concern for lupus patients – participants showed their support for Malaysians living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Since its debut in 2007, Walk-A-Payung has become a flagship awareness event for PSLEM, reflecting its long-standing commitment to empowering lupus warriors and advocating for their needs. It is estimated that 43 out of 100,000 autoimmune cases are affected by SLE.

“Lupus has no cure and can cause debilitating symptoms such as joint pain, organ damage, and extreme fatigue,” said Prof. Dr. Syahrul. “These challenges often affect not just health, but also job security, financial stability, and mental wellbeing. Walk-A-Payung is one way we can create public awareness and foster a sense of community for those impacted by this disease.”

The event was officiated by Dato’ Dr Norsiah Binti Ali, Pengarah, Gred Jusa B (M), Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, and Prof. Dr. Syahrul Sazliyana Binti Shaharir, President of PSLEM and Consultant Rheumatologist at HCTM UKM. The morning began with an energising group Zumba session led by the Royal Fitness Squad from Universiti Malaya, followed by a ceremonial flag-off that marked the start of the 3KM walk.

Throughout the morning, attendees enjoyed a range of activities, including family-friendly entertainment, lucky draws, creative contests, and meet-and-greets with the 501st Legion Malaysia Garrison.

If you’ve ever wished for a smartwatch that looks as good as it performs, Huawei’s latest launch might just be what your wrist has been waiting for. Fresh off its global debut in Berlin, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series has officially landed in Malaysia, bringing with it a sleek new design, smarter health tracking, and powerful outdoor fitness features that are ready to move when you are.

The new series includes two exciting models; the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 and the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, designed for people who love to stay active without compromising on style. Whether you’re a daily step counter, weekend golfer, underwater explorer, or someone who just wants to check your WhatsApp from your wrist, this watch is built to keep up.

Light on Your Wrist, Big on Performance

Both models stay true to the WATCH FIT legacy of delivering ultra-slim and lightweight wearables. The standard version weighs just 27 grams and is only 9.5mm thick, making it perfect for those who want a watch that feels like it’s barely there, whether you’re running errands or running a marathon. The Pro version takes it up a notch with a 30.4 gram, 9.3mm slim profile. Packed with a sapphire glass watch face, titanium alloy bezel, and an aviation-grade aluminum alloy body for durability, the Pro version also comes with an ultra-bright display at 3000 nits peak brightness that still looks great under Malaysia’s blazing sun.

You could be powering through your morning jog or just heading to brunch, either way, the WATCH FIT 4 Series looks right at home with workout gear or weekend wear.

Outdoors, Underwater, On the Move

This isn’t just a pretty watch. It’s a fitness powerhouse. Designed with outdoor sports enthusiasts in mind, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series offers a comprehensive suite of features for exploration and performance. It supports over 100 workout modes, including mountain climbing and skiing, enhanced by a built-in barometer that delivers precise elevation data.

Huawei’s five-star dual-frequency Sunflower Positioning System further enhances performance, improving GNSS tracking accuracy by 30%. The system intelligently adapts to user movement, ensuring reliable positioning data even in complex environments. The watch also supports offline maps, route import, and navigation, so you’re always prepared, no matter the terrain.

For water lovers, Huawei has introduced its first-ever water sports route tracking feature, tailored to seven aquatic activities such as sailing and stand-up paddleboarding. It enables real-time tracking of heart rate, distance, and performance while you’re out on the water.

The Pro model takes outdoor fitness even further. It features contour maps, checkpoint navigation, and a professional trail running mode, ideal for those exploring new terrain with confidence. Even your golf game gets a smart upgrade with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, which comes preloaded with over 15,000 global golf courses, real-time GPS measurements, and a digital scorecard to track your game as you go. This Pro model also features a dedicated freediving mode with real-time metrics like depth and speed. Coupled with safety alerts, diving enthusiasts can enjoy added assurance and guidance when diving undersea.

A Personal Health Coach on Your Wrist

Beyond counting steps, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series marks a significant advancement in health management with around the clock heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring and even helps you keep tabs on your emotional wellbeing. Feeling a little stressed or off balance? The Emotional Wellbeing Assistant offers personalised insights to help you reset, breathe, and move forward.

The Pro model brings enhanced health tracking capabilities with Huawei’s improved TruSense System, delivering more accurate and actionable health data across the board. Equipped with built-in ECG functionality, it also offers real-time heart health insights right at your fingertips. Whether you're at the office or out on a hike, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro gives you greater peace of mind through smarter, more precise health monitoring.

The watch also compiles all your vital stats into one clear report, such as heart rate, SpO₂ levels, stress levels, sleep patterns, breathing regularity, and emotional states. From sleep quality to oxygen levels the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series can now summarise these insights into comprehensive reports with personalised analysis, actionable suggestions, and alerts if abnormalities are detected.

Smart Features That Actually Make Life Easier

Beyond fitness and health, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series is packed with smart, everyday conveniences. You can reply to WhatsApp messages directly from the watch with a full keyboard. You can even leave your wallet behind because Huawei is the first brand in Malaysia to support TNG QR payments on a smartwatch.

The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series also supports NFC access cards, voice note-taking, Bluetooth calling, and weather updates. With up to 10 days of battery life and fast charging that gets you back to full power within 60 minutes for the Pro version, it’s built to stay with you through early mornings, late nights, and everything in between.

The Waktu Solat Malaysia App will soon be available in June 2025 on the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series and HUAWEI WATCH 5, which marks the first brand in Malaysia to support this app on a smartwatch. Support for pairing the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series with the Waktu Solat Malaysia App on iOS devices will be available at a later date, where users can look forward to receiving prayer time notifications, view prayer verses for each prayer time, and access the Qiblat direction feature directly from their smartwatch. This new addition offers greater convenience for users, making it easier to stay connected to daily spiritual practices through a seamless smartwatch experience.

Here’s something cool; The watch now supports Malaysia’s radio streaming app - SYOK . You can play, pause, and adjust the volume right from your wrist—whether you're jogging, walking, or just chilling on your balcony. Managing your favorite radio stations or podcasts has never been easier, all without needing to grab your phone. Now that’s smart multitasking!

AVAILABILITY AND FREE GIFT!

When it comes to personal style, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro comes in three colour options—Black, Blue, and Green—each paired with distinctive strap designs. Choose from a black fluoroelastomer strap featuring 3D wave-style grooves, a blue fluoroelastomer strap with the same unique texture, or a green woven nylon strap for a sportier, breathable feel.
