BR1M will be phased out and your memories of PE classes can affect your current attitude to exercise

Aug 26, 2018

The Prime Minister wants to reduce BR1M payments in stages then abolish it. 

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad told the Malaysian Insight, the handouts are a crutch that has to be taken away so that M'sians can be more independent. 

Tun M also believes it would be better to create more job opportunities, rather than give away free money.

There are 3 Armed Forces personnel who are still on former Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammudin Hussein's security detail, but they're only temporary staff. 

This follows allegations that the trio were taking wages from both the Armed Forces and Hishammuddin. 

Hishammuddin says he has offered the trio employment, but they'll have to quit the Armed Forces should they accept. 

And a new US study has found that your memories of your school PE classes, may impact your exercise habits today. 

The results suggest the more you enjoyed your PE classes back in the day, the more likely you are to be physically active as an adult.
