Scamming people is one of the most immoral despicable acts of all.
The Star is to be applauded for bringing the matter of "BLEEDING SCAM : LBA IS 'JUNK SCIENCE" to the attention of the public.
The MMA and other bodies which are supposed to ensure the public receives quality health care need to be proactive and not wait for public complaints indicating harm was done before acting.
Those bodies need to require all purveyors of health-related products and services to prove that the products/services are safe, effective and necessary, BEFORE allowing those products/services to be offered to Malaysians.
In the case of the article in The Star, isn't the harm of wasting a lot of money on the scam enough harm for the MMA to take action against the scam?
Any medicine, vitamin or supplement we ingest or put on our skin has potential for side effects, sometimes harmful side effects.
Doesn't the MMA think the scam has potential for harm because it induces people to consume various medicines and supplements?
Doesn't the MMA realise the potential for harm from people substituting LBA for a visit to a doctor?
Are the purveyors of LBA following proper infection control methods, to not be spreading blood-borne infectious disease such as HIV, Hepatitis, etc?
Is the MMA waiting for serious health problems or deaths to occur before taking action against LBA and other health-related scams?
Is the Health Ministry going to take health-related scams seriously?
