KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- “Tak boleh buat berita kalau tak minum air berkarbonat?” soal saya beberapa kali selepas mendengar cerita seorang rakan wartawan, Noraina Hashim, 28, ketika bertemu di sebuah kafe di Ampang baru-baru ini. 

Agak pelik sebenarnya kerana hampir 10 tahun dalam industri media, saya belum pernah mendengar mana-mana wartawan sama ada dikenali mahupun sebaliknya, yang ketagihan minuman berkarbonat sehingga sedemikian rupa.

Fikirlah: Sugar Tax Crucial For Better Health

By Sakini Mohd Said

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- I was having a chat with my journalist friend Noraina Hashim in a cafe recently when she spoke of a colleague of hers who cannot work unless he consumes some carbonated drink.

Noraina, 28, told me her colleague, who she identified as Hadi, would seem restless and unable to think clearly if he does not have a can of fizzy drink on his table to "fuel his brain".

"Ever since he became a journalist, it has become a habit for him to have a fizzy drink whilst working on his article. Sometimes, he would have consumed three to four cans by the time he has completed one article.

"In case he has two or three stories to complete in a day, you can imagine how many cans of those sugar-laden drinks he would have to drink," she said.
