Kasut tumit tinggi termahal di dunia, RM70 juta

Kasut tumit tinggi dihiasi emas, sutera dan ratusan berlian berharga AS$17 juta (RM70 juta), dipamerkan di Hotel Burj Al Arab, sebagai termahal di dunia kini dibuka untuk jualan.

Menurut laporan agensi media asing, setiap kasut menonjolkan 236 berlian 15 karat berbentuk bulat berhampiran bahagian hujung jari serta sekeliling kasut.

Jada Dubai, syarikat rekaan yang tidak ramai pengikut di media sosial, pada Khamis mendedahkan sepasang kasut tumit tinggi kulit bersalut emas dihiasi berlian.

Ketua eksekutif Passion Jewellers, Hemant Karamchandani, yang membekalkan barang kemas berkata, Dubai adalah bandar raya dihuni jutawan dan hartawan.

“Kami melihat ia sebagai pasaran berpotensi selain seluruh rantau Teluk,” katanya mengambil masa sembilan bulan untuk membuatnya.

Satu-satunya kasut seumpama itu boleh dibuat mengikut saiz pelanggan selepas mereka membayar harga penuh.

Dubai, hab bagi fesyen Teluk dan hos Minggu Fesyen Arab, menyaksikan pertambahan bilangan pelancong sejak beberapa tahun lalu, dengan lebih 16 juta pelawat mengunjungi negara itu tahun lalu.

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.
