00:00 Prevalence, excess weight and obesity in adults has increased
00:07 From the three things we mentioned earlier
00:11 Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol all experienced a decrease
00:16 But the weight prevalence and obesity in adults increased
00:27 So this one is climbing up
00:32 This is an increase, this is a situation that is not satisfactory, needs to be balanced and needs to be acted on
00:42 One of the factors contributing to the increase in this problem is the excess intake of sugar
00:48 This has been proven by several local studies
00:52 To solve this problem, the KKM has implemented several approaches
00:57 The first is to impose an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages
01:04 And pre-mixed drinks, which is a request from the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Customs and Tourism
01:11 We also want this to be continued
01:15 Excise duty on sugar or sugar-sweetened beverages
01:20 And next, in the near future, KKM will introduce a system
01:27 For grading drinks according to the sugar content
01:35 Nutri-grade as mandatory
01:38 This is on, be careful
01:41 We will be grading our drinks according to the sugar content
01:48 Just like across the causeway, Singapore has a category A, B, C and D
01:55 When they do this program
01:58 War on liquid sugar
02:00 Next, the campaign to reduce sugar intake will be implemented
02:06 Through the initiative "War on Sugar"
02:09 This is coming
02:11 Dr. Seri, you were saying earlier
02:14 Drop in NCD, there's an improvement in diabetes
02:23 But in the data, obesity has surged 10%
02:29 And with obesity and being overweight, won't that contribute in the future report to higher cases of NCDs?
02:40 Diabetes, hypertension
02:42 You are correct
02:43 That's one view that has scientific evidence
02:48 Because we know that obesity and overweight
02:54 Not all people end up with obesity
02:59 But obesity is definitely overweight
03:01 And overweight now is about 1 in 2
03:13 Why do we say that?
03:15 Because with obesity and overweight
03:19 We know that diabetes is linked to people who are overweight and obese
03:28 We know that they are risk prone to type 2 diabetes
03:34 And insulin resistant
03:37 These are scientific facts that we cannot deny
03:41 So with obesity comes type 2 diabetes mellitus
03:47 And they are prone to type 2 diabetes
03:56 When they are overweight and obese
03:58 And with obesity and overweight
04:03 They are prone to cancer
04:11 They are also at higher risk of getting cancer
04:19 And thirdly, fatty liver
04:27 And fatty liver is also at higher risk of liver cancer
04:35 That I mentioned in my speech
04:37 So all of these, as you correctly said
04:41 Even though the risk factors are lower
04:45 But with diabetes and overweight alone
04:48 They can attract other NCDs
04:55 NCDs to do with diabetes, NCDs to do with cancer
04:59 And of course hypertension and cholesterol
05:03 Even though they are low, diabetes is also subject to CVA
05:09 Or stroke, etc
05:14 Therefore, why we mention about war on sugar
05:23 War on diabetes and overweight
05:26 Because in the end, it is also related to the increase of NCDs
05:34 And the most important thing is the sequelation
05:44 To the NCDs that cannot be treated
05:49 Cannot be treated, if the treatment is not effective
05:54 You get into the burden of NCDs
05:58 Which is, one, heart attack, IHD
06:03 The highest killer in NCDs is heart attack
06:07 17.3%
06:09 And of course, what we did would be other things
06:12 Including cancer, etc
06:15 For war on sugars, how does the Malaysian government engage in this?
06:23 And what are the related initiatives from the industry?
06:27 For a strategy towards war on sugars
06:33 One of the things that we do not do, but we are informed by the Ministry of Health
06:38 Is to educate people about sugar
06:42 And also to reduce the value of sugar
06:46 If we remember, we have a choice logo
06:52 And we want to introduce the term "brain" to the students
06:59 So that it will strengthen the sugar control
07:03 And we remember that, besides the writing, we also need to have some advocacy
07:08 Sometimes we see from the results of HMS23
07:12 We get a high literacy rate
07:15 But we see from the practical side, this is what we are concerned about
07:19 For example, we see from the group
07:23 The literacy percentage is very high
07:27 But do they practice or not?
07:30 If they get this knowledge, do they practice or not?
07:34 Do they share it with the requirements?
07:37 This is what we need to emphasize from day to day
07:41 That's why we have a program called National Nurses Hub
07:47 If you have heard of it, NMS
07:50 It's not NMS, it's ANMS
07:53 It's a national health program
07:57 With the aim of promoting healthy health for the public
07:59 For the public to see that the public is healthy
08:03 We want to empower the individual
08:07 Each individual and community
08:09 To ensure that they are healthy
08:12 For health, they have to be aware of the risk of diseases
08:18 They have to have hope to promote health
08:22 So that they can understand the health aspect
08:25 Whether it's healthy or not, the risk of disease
08:29 Or the diagnosis of disease
08:32 So that's why we need to encourage them
08:35 To have interventions or treatments
08:37 This is what we need to do
08:39 As the Minister of Health said
08:41 We have a lot of activities
08:45 To encourage the public to show their support
08:49 To make a friendly relationship
08:51 This is very important
08:52 For example, the National Nurses Initiative
08:55 We see that it's a program
08:57 Led by the KKM
08:59 Which shows the power to bring individuals
09:02 Including young people, 18 years and above
09:04 We started with 40 years
09:06 We have reduced it to 18 years
09:08 So now we encourage those who are 18 years and above
09:12 To be prepared for the risk of health
09:15 Whether it's work or private
09:18 To make a friendly relationship
09:20 To hope to get the early diagnosis
09:22 And to get the experience
09:24 [silence]
