Penjualan garam beriodin dikuatkuasakan
Jumaat, 25 September 2020 @ 11:41 AM
Kuala Lumpur: Mulai Rabu depan, semua garam halus atau garam beratnya 20 kilogram atau kurang akan diwajibkan menambah iodin sebelum boleh dijual di pasaran Malaysia.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah berkata, peraturan baru itu susulan pindaan Peraturan 285 berkaitan Garam Halus Beriodin atau Garam Beriodin di bawah Peraturan-Peraturan Makanan 1985 yang diwartakan pada 12 November 2018.
"Pindaan peraturan ini susulan daripada hasil dapatan Tinjauan Gangguan Akibat Kekurangan Iodin (IDD) Kebangsaan yang menunjukkan 48.2 peratus kanak-kanak sekolah rendah berumur lapan hingga 10 tahun mengalami masalah kekurangan iodin.
"Selain itu, 2.1 peratus kanak-kanak mengalami masalah goiter. Bagi tinjauan membabitkan wanita hamil dan murid sekolah, pengambilan iodin juga tidak mencapai paras optimum.
"Oleh itu, pelaksanaan Pengiodinan Secara Universal di Malaysia (USI) dapat membantu meningkatkan pengambilan iodin dalam kalangan masyarakat memandangkan garam adalah bahan asas yang digunakan di semua peringkat lapisan masyarakat tanpa mengira status pendapatan," katanya.
Katanya, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) menerusi Bahagian Keselamatan dan Kualiti Makanan (BKKM) akan menjalankan pemantauan dan penguatkuasaan kepatuhan peraturan selepas ia dikuatkuasakan bermula 30 September ini.
MCMC: Telcos to optimise existing spectrum for 4G, 700MHz to be released later based on need
Friday, 25 Sep 2020 09:31 AM MYT
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — Malaysia has recently introduced the Jendela plan which aims to boost connectivity nationwide especially in rural areas.
The initial target of rolling out 5G in Q3 2020 has taken a back seat as the government is now prioritising improvements of existing 4G networks.
An improved 4G coverage would serve as a strong foundation to ensure that 5G can be rolled out in an efficient and effective manner.
One of the key targets is to expand 4G population coverage from 91.8 per cent to 96.9 per cent within phase 1 of Jendela (2020-2022). Responding to our queries on spectrum, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has told us that all service providers will have to expand their coverage with their existing resource.
This is an indication that there won’t be any new spectrum allocation and all providers will have to make full use of their existing spectrum to improve their 4G experience.
COMMENT | On the 5th anniversary of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
10:00 am l 25 September 2020
2020 is a significant and defining year for the international community. Today marks five years that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, or Agenda 2030, was unanimously endorsed by the 193 member states of the United Nations on Sept 25, 2015.
Because the progress of the goals, to date, has been too slow, this is also the year that the Decade of Action was announced to accelerate the SDGs. And all of these coincide with the 75th anniversary of the United Nations.
Rewinding the clock back to five years ago, the powerful 15-year framework of the SDGs that emerged from the largest global consultation ever was formulated to ensure all member states work towards a common goal – a renewed and reinvigorated global commitment to a more inclusive, prosperous and environmentally sustainable future for all underpinned by good governance.
Guided by the principle of leaving no one behind, the SDGs are a call to action to all parts of society – government, businesses, civil society and citizens themselves – doing their part to achieve the most ambitious common vision that the world has ever had.
