ozens of cardiologists from Malaysia are slated to participate in the Tour de Timor on Nov. 5, which will start at Dili in East Timor and end in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).
"There are as many as 45 Malaysian cardiologists who registered to join the race," said the head of the promotion division of NTT's Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, Eden Klakik, on Tuesday as quoted by tempo.co.

The doctors reportedly were on a mission to spread awareness of heart problems at each stage of the competition, which will pass through four stages, namely Atambua, Kefa, So'e and Kupang.
This event is being held following the success of the Tour de Flores a few months ago. Eden said that he was hopeful the participants of the previous race would also be involved in the Tour de Timor, which crosses two countries. (kha/kes)
