Federal Ministry's "Denial Syndrome" on School Bag Over Weight Issue
国阵联邦政府对孩童书包过重问题依旧患上"否认症状"
卫部：只造成背痛 书包重无关S形脊椎症
二零一零年六月二十一日 下午五时三十九分
（吉隆坡21日讯）卫生部指出，根据调查，书包太重与患上S形脊椎症并没有直接关联，不过如果学生的书包超过体重10％至20％，会导致学生背部疼痛。
根据卫生部的抽样检查，在1万3340名小学六年级的学生当中，只有129名或0.97％学生疑患上S形脊椎症。
卫生部副部长拿督罗斯娜说，卫生部和教育部在2008年至2009年，在雪兰莪、吉隆坡、布城和瓜拉登嘉楼检查1万3340名学生，发现有129名学生疑患上S形脊椎症，其中6名证实患上这种病症的学生正在接受治疗。
她今天在国会下议院回答马莫区国会议员拉昔丁的提问时说，卫生部也举办有关S形脊椎症讲座、分发宣传品和海报。
罗斯娜说，目前学生书包重量介于2.8公斤至3公斤，如果学生根据上课时间表携带书本的话，书包并不会太重。
“学生也要带水壶、铅笔盒等物品，所以书包重量不限于书本而已。”
