SHAH ALAM: Tiga individu termasuk dua penjawat awam direman empat hari bermula hari ini bagi membantu siasatan kes rasuah berjumlah RM30,000.

Perintah reman terhadap seorang lelaki dan dua wanita berumur antara 30 hingga 40 tahun itu dikeluarkan Majistret Ameera Mastura Khamis selepas mendapat permohonan daripada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Selangor.

Menurut sumber, dua penjawat awam terbabit dipercayai menerima wang rasuah masing-masing berjumlah RM15,000 secara berasingan pada 2021 dan 2022 sebagai balasan untuk mengubah keputusan laporan kimia berhubung siasatan kes dadah.

Suspek disyaki menerima rasuah secara berasingan melalui transaksi pindahan wang yang berlaku pada 2021 dan 2022 ke akaun milik suspek daripada akaun bank suspek ketiga yang ditahan kerana disyaki turut bersubahat meminta dan menerima rasuah bagi pihak suspek utama.

Ketiga-tiga suspek ditahan di Pejabat SPRM Negeri Sembilan antara 9.15 malam hingga 9.30 malam tadi.

Sementara itu, Pengarah SPRM Selangor Datuk Alias Salim ketika dihubungi mengesahkan kes berkenaan disiasat di bawah Seksyen 17(a) Akta SPRM 2009.

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.
