KL Wellness City launches RM16k health & travel rewards to promote wellness tourism
The launch ceremony was graced by Nor Azrina Surip @ Nurin Aina Abdullah, Political Secretary to the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), representing Datuk Seri Dr. Zaliha Mustafa, alongside senior KLWC officials.
Running from 21 May to 20 August 2025, the 2H campaign offers exclusive health and travel reward packages worth RM13,000 to RM16,000 with any property purchase at The Nobel Healthcare Park.
These include health screening vouchers and travel perks through AirAsia MOVE and AirAsia Rewards—such as SNAP flight and hotel packages, AirAsia Ride, duty-free shopping, and redeemable AirAsia points.
'Initiatives like Wellness 360 and the 2H campaign reflect the kind of progressive, people-first programmes we need more of—ones that empower communities to take charge of their health, while also supporting local economic vibrancy,' said Dr Zaliha.
'As we position Kuala Lumpur as a thriving, inclusive city, efforts like this help bridge wellness, tourism and urban living in meaningful ways.'
Health screening vouchers can be redeemed at the upcoming International Hospital @ KL Wellness City, scheduled to open in the second half of 2026. The flagship tertiary hospital will provide international-standard diagnostics, screenings, and specialist services.
Screening packages under the campaign include checks across multiple health dimensions, such as vital signs, respiratory and cardiac tests, abdominal ultrasound, metabolic health profiles, infectious disease screenings, nutritional guidance, and medical consultations tailored by age group.
Datuk Seri Dr. Vincent Tiew, KLWC's Executive Director of Branding, Sales & Marketing, emphasised the broader vision: 'This is more than a development — it is our commitment to create a blueprint for healthier living in Malaysia and the region.
'With Wellness 360 and the 2H campaign, we are taking real, impactful steps to bring wellness to the forefront of everyday life. We believe true wellness should be accessible, engaging and inspiring.'
AirAsia MOVE and AirAsia Rewards serve as official travel partners, enhancing campaign convenience by offering seamless access to travel bookings, wellness deals, and shopping via their integrated app.
The Wellness 360 Series is a 12-session public health programme, combining doctor-led wellness talks with yoga sessions.
Running monthly from June to December 2025 at the KL Wellness City Gallery, each session explores a distinct wellness theme, such as heart health, hormonal balance, neurological calm, and mental resilience—paired with tailored yoga practices like Heart-Opening Flow, Moon Flow, Yoga Nidra, and Meditation.
Health and beauty brand Kinohimitsu joins as a strategic partner in the Wellness 360 series.
Represented by Liew Pei Yee, General Manager, the brand will support all sessions with sponsored products, expert talks, health tips, and interactive booths.
Dr Tiew added, 'As the first healthcare and wellness city in Southeast Asia, we believe in walking the talk when it comes to well-being. Wellness 360 isn't just a campaign — it reflects how we live and build our community.
' From our staff to our residents and partners, we're creating an ecosystem where health is a way of life, not an afterthought. People say health is wealth and with our 2H campaign, we're combining both by rewarding your wellness journey with a holiday. We'll even fly you there for free.'

Mandatory eye screening for Year One students urged to detect vision issues
KUALA LUMPUR: Mandatory eye screening for children entering Year One should be implemented nationwide to detect vision problems early, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa. Speaking at the launch of the Mata Hati Wilayah 2025 programme at SK Seri Bintang Utara in Cheras, Dr Zaliha cited a screening exercise involving 2,008 lower primary students in Kuala Lumpur last year. The results showed that around five per cent had eye-related health issues. 'Of those, 88 per cent suffered from myopia (short-sightedness), four per cent had colour blindness, and eight per cent were diagnosed with strabismus (crossed eyes),' she said. Dr Zaliha warned that untreated vision problems could hinder motor, cognitive, and language development in children, with potential long-term effects persisting into adulthood. She urged the Ministry of Education to consider making eye screening compulsory during Year One enrollment. The Mata Hati Wilayah programme, now in its second phase, has expanded to five primary schools in Kuala Lumpur. These include SK Seri Bintang Utara, SK Tun Hussein Onn, SK Jalan Bellamy, SK Seri Mega, and SK Sungai Penchala. Part of the Federal Territories Department's Program Usaha Jaya Insan (PUJI), the initiative promotes eye health and provides corrective aid to students. Dr Zaliha noted that 92 per cent of students who received spectacles through the programme showed significant improvement in communication and social interaction. To support the initiative, Dr Zaliha announced a RM10,000 allocation for SK Seri Bintang Utara, praising the school's active involvement. 'With the encouraging data and positive impact we've seen so far, I'm confident we're on the right track toward nurturing a generation of students who are healthier, more confident, and ready to take on future challenges,' she added.
