"The main cause is linked to sugar intake. This is one of the reasons why the ministry is planning a programme to declare war on sugar. We have not launched it yet, but we have drawn up this programme," he said during question time in the Dewan Negara on Thursday . According to NHMS 2023 data, about half a million or 2.5% of adults suffer from four NCDs, including obesity and diabetes, with one in two Malaysians identified as obese or overweight.
