Stunting rate remain prevalent in fast-growing Malaysia | Daily Express Online - Sabah's Leading News PortalPutrajaya is the second richest state in Malaysia by median income, but has the fourth highest rate of stunting. Why? When the 2016 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) revealed Putrajaya's stunting rate was 24.3 percent, many were left stumped.
