Wacoal Malaysia, in collaboration with Parkson Corporation, launched its 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign to promote breast cancer awareness on the 1st October 2011 (Saturday) with special appearances by two of Malaysia's leading female artistes - Elaine Daly (the Best TV Actress of Anugerah Seri Angkasa 2010) and Debbie Goh (the Most Popular Actress of ntv7 Golden Awards 2010) - to help spread knowledge on early detection of breast cancer.

I also managed to learn and gain some knowledge from the breast awareness campaign. In order to enjoy the fun and learn more, we registered ourselves for the complimentary breast screening and we get to go for each station to get a stamp from them. The first station I went was the brassiere fittings.

| Checking... |
We then proceed with next station who is going to tell us how to check our breast daily in proper way. There is a mock breast at there and it is easier to make the crowds understand more on how to check their breast properly daily. Later on, we witnessed the launching ceremony for the Pink Ribbon by Wacoal.

In my own opinion, the Let's Pink event was great. Everyone get to get a complimentary breast screening by the female doctor from Assunta Hospital. It's better to get checked than sorry later on. I myself too registered for it, how about you? Shy, is not an excuse to save yourself.
