Kapal akibatkan jambatan di Baltimore runtuh dialihkan

WASHINGTON: Kapal kontena Dali berjaya dialihkan pada Isnin, hampir lapan minggu selepas ia berlanggar dengan Jambatan Francis Scott Key di Baltimore, Maryland, menyebabkan jambatan itu runtuh, lapor Agensi Anadolu.

"Pagi ini, kapal kargo yang berlanggar dengan Jambatan Francis Scott Key telah dipindahkan secara rasmi - satu langkah penting ke arah membuka semula laluan menuju ke Pelabuhan Baltimore," kata Rumah Putih di X.

Kapal itu yang membawa hampir 4,700 kontena melanggar jambatan itu pada Mac, menyebabkan enam orang terbunuh.

Runtuhan struktur itu menyebabkan trafik terhenti di salah satu pelabuhan paling sibuk di Amerika Syarikat (AS).

Proses pengapungan kapal ambil masa 21 jam

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.
