Overweight Malaysian cops feel the burn

Malaysian top brass warned cops could miss out on future promotions if they fail to shape up, and are now piloting a special weight-loss and fitness programmeHuffing and puffing, sweat-soaked Malaysian police officer Mohamad Ra’ayim Jemahir strains in hot pursuit of an elusive quarry: a fit physique. The Royal Malaysian Police says about 11,000 of its 122,000 officers — nearly 10 percent — are overweight, causing rising health-related absenteeism and costing millions of dollars in lost productivity. Ra’ayim largely blames his weight woes on habitual consumption of Malaysia’s tasty but often fattening cuisine during the typically long stretches of inaction common in policing.
