Health & Living Jr 2019 Part 1 of 4: Townhall with the Minister

Kids today are exposed to rapid technological changes, intense societal pressure, and complex family issues. How do we prepare kids for a future that will place huge demands on them? We caught up with YB Hannah Yeoh, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Dr Faridah Abu Bakar, Director of the Family Health Development Division, Ministry of Health, and Dato’ Dr Narimah Awin, Chairperson of the National Population and Family Development Board in a townhall session to find out how children in Malaysia have fared under the Pakatan Harapan government. This is an edited recording of the panel discussion that was held at the BFM Health & Living Live 2019 by AIA Vitality.
