I m happy we have a health minister who appears to know what is going on for a change. Our country needs to educate people about health more.
Malaysia is considered as an unhealthy country as the number of people suffering from heart disease and obesity is high, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said health awareness among the people was also low.
“In Malaysia one in every two people are obese, including myself, while one in four don’t practise physical activity and one in 20 do not maintain healthy eating.
“According to official statistics, half a million adults suffer from depression. I am confident that this is lower than the actual figure,” he said while appearing as a guest on TV1’s Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme today.
