Malaysians today are generally healthier, live longer, and are better disposed to be more productive. The overall level of health attained is one of the key measures of the success of our country. Good health enables Malaysians to lead productive and fulfilling lives. In addition, a high level of health contributes to increased prosperity and overall social stability. POPULATION STRUCTURE Based on the adjusted Population and Housing Census of Malaysia 2000, the population of Malaysia in 2010 was 28.25 million with an average annual population growth rate of 1.3 per 100 populations. The total population in 2010 decreased by 0.06 million as compared to 28.31 million recorded in 2009. The geographical distribution of population showed that Selangor had the highest population of 5.10 million, while Federal Territory of Labuan recorded the lowest population of 0.1 million (Table 1). However, Kelantan recorded the highest average annual population growth rate of 1.9 per 100 populations, while Sabah recorded the lowest annual growth rate of 1.0. It should be noted that another Population and Housing Census of Malaysia was done in 2010. Based on the latest census, the population of Malaysia in 2010 was 28.34 million. According to the geographical distribution, Selangor had the highest population of 5.46 million, while the Federal Territory of Putrajaya recorded the lowest population of 0.07 million (Table 2). From now on, demography and population data in Malaysia shall be referring to this latest census. In 2010, 67.3% out of the total population lived in urban area, while 32.7% lived in rural area (Table 3).Overall, the population in Malaysia is relatively young, with 37.6% of the total population were below 20 years of age, and only 7.9% of the population aged 60 years and above. In 2010, the economically- 8 productive population which consists of population aged 15 to 64 years was 19.1 million or 67.3% of the total population, while the economically dependent i.e age below 15 years and 65 years and above was 9.3 million or 32.7% of the total population. HEALTH STATUS Health status can be gauged by the use of health status indicators. Indicators such as life expectancy at birth, mortality and morbidity status of the country were among the indicators that can be measured, and serve as an indication of the state of health of individuals, and thus the health of the overall population. • Life Expectancy at Birth Life expectancy is a measure of the number of years, on an average, that a person can expect to live. With the improvement in the nutritional and socio-economic status of the population, Malaysians can expect to live much longer than in the past. The estimated life expectancy at birth in 2010 has remained at 71.7 years for male and increase to 76.6 years for female as compared to 70.6 years for male and 75.1 years for female recorded in 2001 (Figure 1).

    Sarawak’s policies will continue to be inclusive, says DCM Free Malaysia Today July 6, 2017 By Nawar Firdaws Sarawak's largest BN component, PBB, is inclusive in its policies which are not only seen, but also felt by the people, says deputy chief minister Douglas Uggah. KUCHING: The Sarawak government will continue being inclusive in its policies, in a way that is not just seen, but also felt by the people in the state. Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Douglas Uggah Embas said inclusivity and power sharing have been a decades-long practice of the state’s largest Barisan Nasional (BN) component, Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB). “PBB has managed to lead the government in Sarawak for a very long time, because of power sharing. “Of course there are times when things seemed to be very challenging, but we are always open for discussion, to make sure that we are not leaving anybody behind. “We are inclusive in our policies which are not only seen, but also felt by the people,” the PBB acting deputy president said in an exclusive interview with FMT in Kuching last weekend. He also addressed concerns that other BN parties were being sidelined due to PBB’s dominance in the state government. This is especially so following the Pujut crisis, which saw a majority of the state legislative assembly members voting for a ministerial motion to disqualify DAP’s Pujut assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon. BN component Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) president Dr Sim Kui Hian had earlier told FMT that he and several other BN assembly members were caught “totally unprepared” by the motion brought by the state’s International Trade and E-Commerce Minister Wong Soon Koh.

  • Risk Factors Associated with Necrotising Enterocolitis in Very Low Birth Weight Infants in Malaysian Neonatal Intensive Care Units
    O riginal A rticle Singapore Med J 2012; 53(12) : 826 Risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units Nem-Yun Boo1, MRCP, FRCPCH, Irene Guat Sim Cheah2, MRCP, FRCPCH; Malaysian National Neonatal Registry Introduction This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in very low birth weight (VLBW; weight < 1,501 g) infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods This was a retrospective study based on data collected in a standardised format for all VLBW infants born in 2007 (n = 3,601) and admitted to 31 NICUs in Malaysian public hospitals. A diagnosis of NEC was made based on clinical, radiological and/or histopathological evidence of stage II or III, according to Bell’s criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the significant risk factors associated with NEC. ResuLts 222 (6.2%) infants developed NEC (stage II, n = 197; stage III, n = 25). 69 (31.3%) infants died (stage II, n = 58; stage III, n = 11). The significant risk factors associated with NEC were: maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.024, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.003–1.046; p = 0.027), intrapartum antibiotics (OR 0.639, 95% CI 0.421–0.971; p = 0.036), birth weight (OR 0.999, 95% CI 0.998–0.999; p < 0.001), surfactant therapy (OR 1.590, 95% CI 1.170– 2.161; p = 0.003), congenital pneumonia (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.405–2.848; p < 0.001) and indomethacin therapy for the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (OR 1.821, 95% CI 1.349–2.431; p = 0.001).
