In recent years, Malaysia has seen a concerning rise in stroke cases among individuals under 45, shifting what was once considered an “elderly disease” into a growing threat for the younger population. According to national data, nearly 15% of all strokes now affect young adults, often with devastating lifelong consequences—not just for the patient, but also for their families and communities.

As a consultant neurologist with over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lim Wei Jian has witnessed this alarming trend firsthand. Driven by unhealthy lifestyles, undiagnosed conditions like hypertension and diabetes, and delayed medical attention, strokes in young adults are becoming more frequent—and more preventable.

This calls for greater awareness, early neurological screening, and the availability of advanced imaging and personalized care to detect risks before it’s too late. Stroke can strike suddenly—but with the right knowledge and timely action, its long-term impact can be minimized or even avoided.

Epilepsy in young adults is often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood—especially in Malaysia.

Over more than a decade working in allergy and immunology departments, I have seen countless patients—especially children—rushed to the emergency room in anaphylactic shock due to seemingly harmless causes: a fire ant sting, a meal containing peanuts, or a common cold medicine.

What worries me is not just the severity of anaphylaxis—which can lead to death within 15 minutes—but the widespread lack of knowledge about this condition in our communities, even in large cities like Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and Penang.

Beauty is a right, but it must be accompanied by knowledge and responsibility.

Dr. Amirul Hakim bin Zainal warns of the abuse of unlicensed cosmetic services in Malaysia – where tens of thousands of cosmetic procedures are taking place outside medical control, causing serious complications and even death. Cosmetic surgery is not a game – it is a medical intervention, and is only safe when performed by a specialist.
