Gender Inequality
There is now more inequality between men and women in Malaysia after the country dropped 29 spots in the Global Gender Gap Index from 72 to 101 in just three years.
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) resident representative for Malaysia,
Singapore and Brunei Kamal Malhotra said this
was due to the lack of female involvement in
politics, with only 10.8% of those elected to
Parliament being women MPs.

Obesity
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that overweight and obesity may soon replace more traditional public health concerns such as undernutrition and infectious diseases as the most significant cause of poor health. Obesity is a public health and policy problem because of its prevalence, costs, and health effects.
Public health efforts seek to understand and correct the environmental factors responsible for the increasing prevalence of obesity in the population.

Suicide
Suicide is when a person chooses to kill himself or herself. The word suicide is from the Latin words sui caedere, which means "to kill oneself". In English, when someone kills himself, people say that he has "committed suicide," or "suicided." Doctors consider suicide attempts to be a symptom of a serious depression. Suicide is a crime in some places, and it is considered a sin in
many religions.
