The renowned Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre @IIUM (SASMEC @IIUM) celebrated the IIUM 40th anniversary with a historic cycling event called SASMEC @IIUM Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 hosted in the surrealistically beautiful Langkawi Island.
On 6th November 2023, the cycling event was flagged off with tremendous enthusiasm accompanied by five police escorts. Around 40 IIUM staff involved in organising the cycling event and they burned the 40 kilometres distance within the scheduled time, a symbolic celebration of 40th anniversary of IIUM.
The cycling event started from Institut Pengurusan Peladang Langkawi towards Dataran Lang, then straight to Chandek Kura. The ride then was stretched to Dataran Chenang followed by the final checkpoint at MAHA Tower. After a brief photoshoot session at the tower, the participants then scaled back to Institut Pengurusan Peladang before having lunch at the dining hall of the institute.
The healthy event is strongly supported by the hospital’s management with the participation of Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohamed Saufi Awang, Hospital Director and Prof. Dr. Zamzuri Zakaria, Director (Clinical) of SASMEC @IIUM.
This event has a great significance not only for the IIUM's milestone celebration but also to encourage healthy lifestyle among IIUM staff. Moreover, it also functions to build rapport with all of the collaborators through a networking dinner.
The strategic partners of the programme include Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Langkawi, Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), Pejabat Daerah Dan Tanah Langkawi and Maha Tower.
SASMEC @IIUM Le Tour de Langkawi 2023 was an incredible and awe-inspiring celebration that showcased the endeavour and strength of IIUM staff and served as an excellent refresher in everyone’s tight schedules.
Accordingly, this high-impact event is deemed as a major success as it highlighted the spirit of camaraderie and it further strengthened the bond among the IIUM community as a whole.
