The closure of food outlets by midnight may not be a popular move but it’s a good one to combat obesity and diabetes. The people’s health is far more important than anything else. – Health-conscious M’sians Many illnesses are brought about by what, how much and how often we eat. If eateries and restaurant­s close at midnight, they may help keep such illnesses at bay. – William Ong Closing food outlets at midnight to help curb diabetes? It’s human weakness – character, wrong choice of food, cravings, etc. – that’s the problem. – Tan While it is true that obesity can lead to diabetes, it is the type of food one eats that leads to obesity and diabetes. To avoid becoming obese, one should limit the intake of sugar, starchy and oily food and do regular exercise to burn off the excess calories. – M. Ganeshadev­a Closing food outlets at midnight to check diabetes is a ridiculous idea. Awareness of what you eat and knowledge of healthy living start in schools and at home. Good habits of eating healthy food are cultivated from young through education. – CT Tan

> Watch out

Women should be extra careful with amorous bosses. Some of them are sex maniacs, perverts, and also alcoholics.

> Good move

Decision to transfer those holding “sensitive posts” for more than five years is most appropriat­e. Better late than never.
