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.

Leading APEC through Change - The legacy and leadership

APEC has been at the forefront of shaping regional economic integration and cooperation for over three decades. Amidst challenges like the global pandemic, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and economic transitions, APEC has played a pivotal role in driving collaboration among its 21 member economies. 

At the heart of these efforts over the past five years has been Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, a trailblazing Malaysian leader, who has served as the Executive Director of the APEC Secretariat since 2019.
