MAKKAH: Arab Saudi bersedia menyediakan lebih 2.2 juta botol air zamzam pada musim haji tahun ini, seiring dengan peningkatan permintaan.

Ketua Presiden Hal Ehwal Masjidil Haram dan Masjid Nabawi Syeikh Dr Abdulrahman Al-Sudais menggesa agar kapasiti pengeluaran maksimum air zamzam yang dilaksanakan di bawah Projek Zamzam Raja Abdullah bin Abdulaziz digandakan bagi mencapai 200,000 botol sehari, lapor Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

Dr Al-Sudais berkata perkhidmatan itu bertujuan menyediakan air zamzam kepada jemaah haji dengan cara mudah dan efisien, menggunakan mekanisme automatik terkini merentasi peringkat penulenan air dari telaga sehingga sampai ke kilang.

Air kemudiannya dibotolkan secara automatik tanpa campur tangan manusia bagi memelihara kualiti air zamzam kepada jemaah haji.

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.
