PETALING JAYA:  Malaysia will only be able to turn the tide against rising obesity if it can effectively implement health policies that it already has in place, says the World Obesity Foundation.

In a report published in conjunction with World Obesity Day on March 4, the foundation said Malaysia is among 13 countries- representing 7% of nations - with an adequate health system to fight obesity.
