An Indonesian province has put 50 overweight police on a crash program of aerobics, swimming and jogging, telling them they’d better shape up for the job.
印尼一個省把50名超重警察編入一項有氧、游泳和慢跑速成計畫，告訴他們最好為工作改進。
The officers in East Java are being closely monitored on the two-week program and also get guidance from nutritionists and medical experts, said spokesman Frans Barung Mangera.
發言人弗朗斯．巴隆．曼格拉說，在2週計畫中，東爪哇省的警察受密切監控，也得到營養學家和醫學專家的指導。
"We think all the selected personnel don’t have the ideal body weight," said Mangera.
曼格拉說，「我們覺得所有入選人員都沒有理想體重。」
Indonesia has seen a spike in obesity in recent years and the World Health Organization in 2016 estimated that at least 28 percent of Indonesia’s 250 million people were overweight.
印尼近年肥胖人口見高峰，世界衛生組織2016年估計，印尼2.5億人中至少有28%超重。
"Being overweight makes us less agile when we are on duty and we often fall sick," said officer Iwan Sutanto. He claimed to feel healthier after losing 3.5 kg.
警官伊萬．蘇坦托說，「超重使我們在執勤時較不靈活，而且我們常生病。」他聲稱減掉3.5公斤後，感覺健康了些。
Police spokesman Mangera said the program was likely to be extended to the entire province of East Java.
警方發言人曼格拉說，這項計畫可能延伸到整個東爪哇省。
"Body shape determines whether the officer is fit to serve the public," said Mangera. (Reuters)
曼格拉說，「體型決定了一名警官是否適合服務大眾。」（路透）
