As I was flipping around the news online, the headline immediately caught my attention:
By AUDREY EDWARDS
PETALING JAYA: Health screening and checks cannot be conducted at shopping centres and hotels.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said those who carried out such tests were doing so without the approval and support of the ministry.
I believe this is a very common scenes in the shopping malls these days. The most common types would be tests for diabetes. I have never gone for such tests, worrying that there might be a catch. As for me, I go for blood test in the Pathlab, which reminds me, I forgot to go this year.
Anyway, other than health screenings, there are also plenty of skin screening, skin test where you put on face on the machine, then they will tell you your skin condition, dry or too oily, which part of your face suffers from serious clogged pores and etc. Of course, they will immediately sale their products to you. Nothing is free in this world, unless you are really persistent. I have gone for 2 free skin tests like these out of curiosity, of course I did not let them earn a single cent. I don’t know if there is any potential harm to skin with the test, but, for all I know is, if you have a soft ear, you are bound to fall for their tricks!
So, always be a smart consumer! For more info on this news, read here.
