Mentakab is a town, mukim in Temerloh District in central Pahang. It is 9 km northwest from downtown Temerloh and 82 km northeast from Kuala Lumpur. 

There have been two health programs run by the Malaysian Heart Foundation at Mentakab, namely:

2. Community Program at Taman Saga Indah, Mentakab, on November 13, 2016

1-9 NOVEMBER 2014 - MENTAKAB STAR MALL

The Mentakab Heart Week 2014 was held on 1-9 November 2014 at Mentakab Star Mall. I have lost the records about this program, so I don't really remember the number of people who came to do the health check.

13 NOVEMBER 2016 - TAMAN SAGA INDAH, MENTAKAB

The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Mentakab is 117 km long and takes 1 hour and 37 minutes.

The Community Program at Taman Saga Indah, Mentakab, Pahang is jointly organized by the Temerloh District Youth Council. A total of 83 residents of Taman Saga Indah underwent a health checkup test that day.

This program was officiated by Dato Norul Azali, Pahang State Health EXCO.

During the program in Mentakab, we stayed at EV World Hotel Mentakab, Kg Catin, Mentakab, Pahang.
