Iran seru mesyuarat tergempar Menteri Luar OIC berkaitan pembunuhan Haniyeh

TEHRAN: Menteri Luar sementara Iran, Ali Bagheri Kani mendesak Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC) mengadakan mesyuarat tergempar menteri-menteri luar berikutan pembunuhan ketua biro politik Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh di Tehran.

Agensi Berita Iran IRNA melaporkan bahawa Bagheri menerusi akaun rasmi X miliknya pada Jumaat mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya pembunuhan itu dan memberi amaran mengenai akibat jenayah sebegini oleh rejim Zionis Israel.

Haniyeh dibunuh dalam satu serangan di Tehran pada Rabu selepas menghadiri majlis angkat sumpah presiden baharu Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian.

Walaupun Hamas dan Iran menyalahkan Israel atas pembunuhan itu, Tel Aviv belum mengesahkan atau menafikan keterlibatannya.

Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Costing The Silent Threat of Obesity

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia are a growing burden on the health system, with a number of associated health issues and economic costs.

The annual cost of healthcare for NCDs is estimated to be over RM 9.65 billion. Meanwhile, the cost of disability and loss of healthy life years is estimated to be around RM 100.79 billion. Absenteeism due to NCDs is estimated to cost the Malaysian economy RM 2.6 billion annually.

From the common NCDs, obesity is one of THE most significant health threats, with nearly 20% of the Malaysian population currently classified as obese.

Additionally, more than half of all adults (54%) are overweight or obese. According to the World Obesity Atlas, this figure could rise to 41% in Malaysia by 2035, if preventive action is not taken.

Niaga Spotlight focuses on immediate strategies to address this growing silent threat of Obesity, which also burdens the national healthcare system as well as national productivity levels with significant impacts and costs.
