Telegram dihalang di Sepanyol kerana isu cetak rompak

PERKHIDMATAN Telegram di Sepanyol telah dihalang kerana isu cetak rompak.

Mahkamah Tinggi Sepanyol berpihak dengan syarikat media Atresmedia, EGEDA, Mediaset dan Telefonica yang memfailkan permohonan menghalang Telegram kerana kandungan mereka dimuat naik ke Telegram tanpa kebenaran.

Telegram ialah aplikasi pemesejaan keempat paling popular di Sepanyol dan halangan yang dikenakan ini akan mendatangkan impak kepada sekitar 8 juta pengguna.

Perkhidmatan perlu dihalang syarikat telekomunikasi Sepanyol bermula esok tetapi beberapa syarikat telah mula menyekatnya sejak semalam.

Halangan ini hanya akan berkuat kuasa selama beberapa hari bergantung kepada langkah yang diambil oleh Telegram berkenaan kandungan cetak rompak.

Telegram pernah diharamkan di Brazil, China, Thailand, Pakistan, Iran dan Cuba atas pelbagai sebab.

Di Malaysia bukan rahsia Telegram digunakan untuk perkongsian kandungan cetak rompak secara terbuka tetapi Kementerian Komunikasi belum lagi mengambil sebarang tindakan mengenai isu ini. - Amanz

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.
