3. INTRODUCTION
 Since food can provide most if not all of our nutrient needs, the
basic assumption of the dietary guidelines is that nutrient
needs should be met primarily through food consumption
 We now have a fair knowledge of nutritive value of different
foods available (FCTs) and also a good understanding of the
requirements of different nutrients for the maintenance of good
health and prevention of disease (RNIs).
 It is envisage that if implemented as a whole, the dietary
guidelines should encourage Malaysians to consume less
calories, be more active and make wiser food choices.

4. DEFINITION
Dietary guidelines are sets of advisory statements that give dietary
advice for the population to promote overall nutritional well-being
and relate to all diet-related conditions.
Dietary guidelines differ from RNI in that the advice is more
provisional, being based on science, including direct and indirect
evidence about the complex relationship of food components with
health and with diseases - some of which have long incubation
periods.
Dietary guidelines are broad targets for which people can aim
while RNI indicate what should be consumed on the average every
day.

The formulation of this guidelines was in accordance with
the latest scientific findings, nutritional status of Malaysian
population, as well as nutrition commitments and targets
at international regional and national level
 The Malaysia Dietary Guidelines (MDG) 2020 is a
comprehensive national nutritional guidelines to
promote healthy eating and lifestyles.

19. CHALLENGES OF MDG 2010
Overall Challenges:
• MDG is not prioritize as one of main references in planning and forecasting food supply
and import.
• Lack of understanding on certain terminologies such as number of servings, serving size
and etc.
• Difficulty in understanding some key words and long key messages. Thus, health or
nutrition messages need to be presented in simple, short and food based messages to
ensure that the population at large will have a better understanding of the newly updated
MDG (Norimah et al., 2010)

20. Food culture
• Malaysia is a food haven
• Malaysian culture – multi ethnicity
celebrations/functions
New phenomena of food intake
Social media viral posts on
unhealthy foods
THE
CHALLENGES….
Complexity of interaction
between social, cultural,
environmental factors, political
will and enforcement issues
Uncontrolled

Lack of supportive environment for healthy eating
