Kidney failure rates are shooting up among Malays here, with their risk - already higher than the other races - going up by 50 per cent over the past decade.

Ten years ago, Malays had twice the risk of getting kidney failure, requiring either a transplant or dialysis, compared to Chinese, and 1.5 times compared to Indians.

Today, their risk has grown to almost triple that of Chinese and more than twice that of Indians.



The latest figures are from 2014 since it takes two years to confirm a diagnosis. They show that the age standardised rate, which takes into consideration the age at which kidney failure hits, was 643 per million people for Malays, compared to 224 for Chinese and 274 for Indians.

Dr Marjorie Foo, head of renal medicine at the Singapore General Hospital, said the high rates of kidney failure among Malays could be because more of them suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure - both risk factors - compared to the other races.

Proportion of Malays undergoing dialysis at the National Kidney Foundation

Professor A. Vathsala, a senior nephrologist at the National University Hospital, added: "We believe that late diagnosis of diabetes, perhaps a higher proportion of smokers among Malays and obesity contribute to the increased risk of kidney disease among Malays in Singapore."

In absolute numbers for 2014, kidneys failed in 1,109 Chinese, 408 Malays and 118 Indians.

A study of 58,000 diabetic patients at the National Healthcare Group Polyclinics from 2006 to 2009 found that among the three major ethnic groups here, Malays had the highest incidence of diabetic kidney failure while Indians, in spite of poorer control of diabetes than the other races, fared best.

The researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nephrology, suggested this could be caused by delayed diagnosis in Malays resulting in more advanced complications, coupled with Malays having low levels of exercise and the highest incidence of smoking.

According to the National Kidney Foundation, Malays make up 30 per cent of patients undergoing dialysis at its centres.

PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE

We need to focus more on the young, moulding healthy eating and lifestyle habits from young, rather than waiting until illness strikes before doing something.

SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT HALIMAH YACOB, on tackling healthcare concerns of Malays.
One of them, Madam Zaiton Ahmad, 58, lost the use of her kidneys five years ago. She discovered she had diabetes and high blood pressure only when she had a stroke in 2003. Both her parents had diabetes, and one of her older brothers is also on dialysis.

Since her diagnosis, she has been on medication and has tried to eat well and exercise. But her blood sugar levels stayed high and her kidneys failed in 2012.

Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob said Malay MPs have set up programmes to address this situation.

Her constituency of Marsiling, for example, organises regular health screenings, exercise programmes and a Befrienders' Programme to support the more needy cases.

They have also linked up with a healthcare professionals association for the Malay/Muslim community to focus on Malay-speaking residents.

"We need to focus more on the young, moulding healthy eating and lifestyle habits from young, rather than waiting until illness strikes before doing something," she said.

Thats rubbish. Its PAP that is poisoning and exterminating malays with sugar laced diet giving tbem an excuse to import more tiongs and pinoys. If malays had stick to their ikan kembong, sambal and ulam like those in the kampungs, they would live a long and healthy life.

There should be a dedicated cabinet minister for Malays with this amount issues in their community. Look at Yaacob, screwed on floods, PE, even a simple thing of giving a name for WWII exhibit can screw it up. Look at Zainal Sapari the MP who led it FAS for years and managed to force down to the lowest ranking ever. They should look after their own community and their full attention is indeed needed.

Its also amazing that the PAP government hides all these insightful stats until the situation gets really bad. I also have no doubt that the Malay community and their own internal community battle with religion and identity has excluded other communities and they have become isolated. If they are part of the wider community, they would notice why other races have moved on to healthier food, lifestyle and are more concerned with taking part in physical exercises.

:confused: are they forcing them to eat and drink stuff with sugar? Also if they want to poison wouldn't it be better to use actual posion? See a nigger like you always makes up rubbish.

The red flag for getting Kidney problems, due largely to their diets is nothing new, but have they done anything to stem the rise?. You go eat Malay or Indian food, & breakdown the ingredients they use, you would not be surprised that they get diabetes, heart diseases, high cholesterol, Kidney problems, Cancer....& large number of children, they cannot afford. It is common amongst them, marry young, have three kids, marry again have another 3 & then go on...

or....six kids in a family....

I have not known any Malays that are vegan...not that, those who are so-called vegetarians are that healthy....but Malay & Indian, food are loaded "time bomb"....you eat that every day...you will be obese.

The other thing would smoking, despite the regulations banning smoking, in so many places & cigarettes prices rises all the time, the number of Malay smokers, had not declined....they would rather not eat but to smoke.

Like you mention, what are their own ministers etc..doing?...
