The third and the last program of Green Lung Society, “Green Lung Shout Out!” was held on 20th May 2016 at Pusanika, UKM Bangi. Nearly more than 200 people participated and made the event merrier. Many activities were planned and well conducted during the event such as counselling sessions and exhibitions. The counseling session by SCOPE TEAM UM on smoking cessation was conducted by Dr Asyikin. There were two main exhibitions held and one of it was conducted by our very own Green Lung UKM members on vape issue. The next exhibition on secondhand smokers issue especially among women was conducted by Dato Hatijah, President of Malaysian Women Action for Tobacco Control and Health (MyWatch).
Besides, towards the end of the event, the Green Lung Society members managed to get the Minister of Transport, Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai’s signature as a support for both the event and Green Lung Society UKM.
In a nutshell, it was very beneficial event and worth it. Last but not least, we look forward to the next Green Lung event. Go Green Lung!
