Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently highlighted the critical need for ministries, government departments and the public to unite in reducing sugar intake, extending responsibility beyond the Health Ministry.

This call comes in light of Malaysia’s staggering RM9.65 billion expenditure on treating non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in 2017, with diabetes alone accounting for RM4.38 billion.
