6.4 million Malaysians have hypertension, according to the National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2019 [1] , and almost HALF that number are not aware of it, because many do not exhibit the symptoms, unless they have their blood pressure measured. They call hypertension the “silent killer” for a reason. Unfortunately, only 53% of Malaysia adults had undergone medical check-ups in the past year, according to the Ministry of Health [2] , which is not satisfactory.
