KUALA LUMPUR: Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid (pic) has questioned the recent Unicef report that found there is a high rate of stunted growth among the children of Malaysia's urban poor.

“I am not sure how the Unicef report is able to make a comparison between students in Malaysia and Ghana when our food programmes reach both urban and rural students,” he said.
