"Maggi tu saya patah dua, satu 'breakfast', satu lagi simpan 'dinner'" - Amir Ahnaf

BINTANG siri televisyen Projek High Council, Amir Ahnaf menjadi topik sohor kini di Twitter gara-gara podcast Studio Sembang bersama jelitawan Amelia Henderson.

Antara topik yang menarik perhatian warganet adalah kesusahan Amir bergelut sebagai anak seni terutama ketika pandemik dan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP).

Dedah Amir, ketika tempoh itu dia berdepan dengan krisis kewangan hingga memaksanya mencatu makanan setiap hari.

"Saya habiskan PKP seorang diri. Saya rasa saya lalui sahaja, memang mungkin takdir hidup begitu. Supaya bila saya sudah dewasa nanti saya faham.

"Saya masih mencari apa yang sepatutnya saya faham, tak tahu lagi. Mungkin lagi lima tahun baru saya faham kenapa hidup saya sedemikian.

"Ketika itu, duit tak ada, makan Maggi (mi segera) tiada hal. Maggi itu saya patahkan dua, satu breakfast dan satu dinner. Itulah kehidupan Amir Ahnaf dulu ya, saya bangga dengan diri saya yang dulu," dedahnya dalam podcast terbabit. -- Gempak

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.
