Walking isn't the only form of exercise.
Rope skip, swimming, hit the gym, use the stairs more.

Stop saying weather too hot! can't walk!
We are lucky, can buy cars and drive everywhere!

Eat wisely. Drink water.
Avoid sugar, carbs like rice/noodles, salt when possible.
Or at least ask for less sugar when you buy drinks and eat less rice every meal.

Our diet is full of sugar, salt, and all kinds of condiments.
Original taste of food totally disappear under sauces, spices, thick gravy.
And we keep telling ourselves- Malaysia food sedap! delicious! yummy!
Our food is the best! Other people's food taste like sh*t!

Comparing with SG is pointless.
It's an urbanised city with good public transport with good network with trains and buses. Cars are not necessary.
They have underpasses, pedestrian-friendly pavements and sheltered walkways everywhere.
Plus their government and people are exercise crazy. They have apps which reward you for exercising/walking. Their parks and gyms are well-utilised. Their hawker stalls have sticker reminders: less salt, less sugar, more vegetables.
Take a walk in the evenings there and you will realise tons of their people are jogging and strolling.

Our overweight/obesity rates are at 53.5%. No. 1 in Southeast Asia.
Obesity is linked to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders and cancers.
Our diabetic patients are shooting through the roof.
Hypertension is prevalent in 49.93% of adult Malaysians.

All these combined to become a very serious problem in Malaysia.

Well said. Most important isn't gym time but make your daily life active.

I know we cannot discount genetic factor in this obesity issue but you can manage it. Don't use genetic as an excuse to eat unhealthily.

Propose these 3 items cannot be sold or served in public to those under 18

1. Sugarly drinks
2. Alcoholic drinks

Kids and teenagers thirsty in public?
Drink water.

The generation in the next 30 - 50 years would be thankful of that

Fattie boom boom will say VR headset too expensive, how do you expect the average person to buy VR headset for exercise?

So many excuses.

My gym rings and jump rope cost less than RM100 total. Gym rings are optional if your taman have pull up bars. I use gym rings for extra difficulty.

True, if you have the will, money is not an issue.

You can go take books and lift as weights also can.

Research shows that a sugar tax would be very effective and lucrative

In addition, hundreds of millions of euros will be saved on healthcare costs related to sugar consumption. The tax would also mean that people would live longer on average, which would result in more money being spent on elderly care. On the other hand, productivity gains would result from fewer sick calls and medically unfit work declarations due to a healthier lifestyle.

The researchers added that the tax would provide around a billion euros to government coffers. They believe that supermarkets will earn less due to the tax as people choose other options. According to calculations, they would lose around 26 to 29 million euros.

What a load of bull. You complain about US gym being cheapest, yet they have the most fattest people in the world.

You can drive to expensive gyms but cannot drive to parks to do normal excercise?

Excuses excuses.

lol what about those in jail got no access to gym membership?

construction worker also no gym membership but some got 6 pack. fatties always got excuses but when you call them out it's body shaming. can be arrested in the US

It's the food, we are more favoring processed foods. Look at Americans.

China/Japan, even street stalls, are using fresh products to cook. Seldom you see them running on processed foods. It's not a thing.

Here we have Ramly (Processed), Fast Foods, and a lot more. If you cook yourself and eat less outside, you notice yourself different significantly, less tired and less weight.

I swim 3-4 times every week. Every session is about 1 to 1.5 km distance. Not much but enough to keep me fit and healthy. Also, I stop eating before 8 pm until the next day. Never get overweight with this lifestyle.

Actually, their food is not that oily. Only certain cuisines are oily.

Most food are also not deep fried like fast food. Deep fried food are the biggest culprit.

They eat a lot of vegetables.

They use less salt and sugar.

Most importantly, they walk a lot.
