CHALLENGES • Increasing demand for MySihat`s grant
• Lack of capacity building for non-governmental
organizations on health promotion project
• Limited number of effective Smoke Free Program
to improve population health
• Ineffective monitoring and evaluation on health
promotion projects
• Urbanization
“Eating-out is not a new phenomenon in Malaysia, but the changing
life style in the urban areas has encouraged greater numbers of the
urban population practicing eating-out. Both external forces in the
urban environment and internal drive in homes resulted in current
trend of behavior in food taking. The increase of urban population
and their changing needs have been met by the changing urban
landscape but not without the risk of unhealthy eating. Hence,
educating the public of healthy eating, together with social
responsibility among food entrepreneurs and good governance by
every local authorities are important factors for quality of life in urban
communities.”
