Malaysians were suffering from “affluent” diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Chua, who is also a medical doctor, said that obesity was the root cause of those diseases.“There are a lot of lifestyle diseases because of rising affluence. Malaysians don’t exercise enough and do not pay attention to the food they eat,” he said.
