CONSIDER THIS: THE COST OF STUNTING ON MALAYSIA’S CHILDREN

CONSIDER THIS: THE COST OF STUNTING ON MALAYSIA’S CHILDREN

According to global estimates, Malaysia’s childhood stunting rate has risen to 24.3% in 2024, which is higher than Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. Over the past two decades, Malaysia appears to be the only country in the region to have regressed. However the Health Minister disputes the 24% figure, pointing instead to national survey data showing 21.2%. But even that means roughly one in five Malaysian children under five are stunted. What will it take to reverse the trend? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Poh Bee Koon, Professor of Nutrition at the Center for Community Health Studies under the Faculty of Health Sciences at UKM. She’s also the Chair of the Health and Advanced Medicine Research Cluster at Center for IDEA, UKM.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 19: JDT'S GOALKEEPING DILEMMA, SELANGOR MARCH IN SHOPEE CUP & N9 OFFENSIVE WOES

We're back again this time around in Trigo Hotel in downtown Kuala Lumpur bringing you guys coverage on Malaysian Football for the past week.

JDT's hopes of reaching the ACL Elite round of 16 took a blow on Tuesday after a 2-1 loss to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, debate across all platforms arise as Jonathan Silva was shown an early red card in the 15th minutes, however fingers are pointed at a bigger question in the goalkeeping department.

Selangor's draw against BG Pathum sent them through to the semi-finals as the runner-up in group A, but without the presence of Alvin Fortes who got red carded in the game , how will Selangor fare against Nam Dinh later on?

Negeri Sembilan's a team with a single goal in 2026, still awaits it's striker to start banging goals, with options available in the bench, the question lingers whether the promises shown early in the season will start to bear its fruit?

Join Keesh, Aiman and Chun Hang in this episode of The Malaysian Football Podcast, where we cherish, debate and discuss these topics in full spectrum.

Special shoutout to Trigo Hotel!
