Malaysia urged to make plain water default beverage at all food outlets to help reduce sugar intake

Galen Centre wants plain water free at all eateries in Malaysia to cut sugar intake. CEO Azrul Mohd Khalib says 1 in 5 adults don't drink enough water daily.

Over half of Malaysian adults are overweight or obese, and 1 in 5 has diabetes, raising risks of heart disease and stroke.

Azrul wants free water made a licensing rule, calling it a simple way to make the healthy choice easy.
