The rising issue of child stunting in Malaysia has reached a critical juncture, demanding immediate attention and action. Recent data reveals that child stunting rates have surged from 17.1 percent in 2015 to an alarming 21.2 percent in 2022, according to the 2022 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS). This rate significantly overshadows the 11.0 percent target set under the National Plan of Action for Nutrition Malaysia (NPANM) 2016-2025.
The situation in Malaysia becomes even more concerning when compared to neighbouring countries. Malaysia's stunting rate of 21.9 percent, as reported in the Joint UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Estimates of Child Malnutrition for 2023, is higher than that of Singapore (3.0 percent), China (4.6 percent), Thailand (11.8 percent), and even Sri Lanka (15.9 percent), which is grappling with a financial crisis. It's imperative to note that this rate also surpasses that of Vietnam (19.3 percent) and Ukraine (12.3 percent), a nation plagued by violent conflict. In regional comparisons, Malaysia's stunting rate closely aligns with Cambodia (22.3 percent) and Myanmar (24.1 percent), while remaining lower than India (31.7 percent), Indonesia (31.0 percent), and the Philippines (28.8 percent).
