Movember – no, it’s not a spelling error – is a movement to raise awareness of men’s health issues by growing moustaches during the month of November. The word is a combination of the Australian-English word for moustache ‘mo’, and ‘November’.
A global event that transforms November into a month-long campaign, Movember aims to bring attention to issues like prostate and testicular cancers, mental health, and suicide prevention. Throughout the month, men are encouraged to be proactive with their health by scheduling regular check-ups and focusing on their mental and physical well-being
This year, in conjunction with Movember as well as International Men’s Day on November 19, Renault Malaysia is inviting all men and their families to a special event in support of men’s health at the Renault Petaling Jaya showroom in Selangor.
The event, themed ‘Celebrating Movember with Health, Cars, and Great Deals’, will be held this weekend (November 16 and 17) from 10 am to 5 pm. Visitors to the event can enjoy free basic health screenings provided by MiCare, a managed care organisation, and Beacon Hospital on Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm.
Available tests include blood pressure checks, an InBody BMI & BCA obesity screening complete with printed results and consultations; a blood glucose test; and an optional blood cholesterol test for only RM10.
And while you’re at the showroom, you can also check out the Renault Captur, Koleos, ZOE EV, and Megane R.S., with test-drives available for those who want to get a driving experience. Each person who takes a test-drive will receive a custom-printed Movember Renault T-shirt. There are also various promotional offers on the different models for those who decide they want to own one.
