Body slimming and skin care service centres are sprouting like mushrooms after the rain. Sales promotions with pictures of “successful clients” are being advertised massively in the main stream media. To some people with entrepreneurial thinking will see this trend as the opportunity for a sound business venture.

As always there will be some greedy and ’sick’ minded people that will resort to unethical business practice taking advantage on this situation. What they have in mind is just to amass quick wealth without thinking the consequences and long term effect to their customers.

Unsuspecting customers will compare the price offered by these centres and usually they will choose the cheapest, but even the cheapest price offered will run to more than RM500.00 per treatment with some excluding the products cost.

These customers are spending their hard earn money or sometimes their savings to have a better facial complexion and gain more confidence in the public but these rascal entrepreneurs are cheating them without any guilt feeling.

So we have another case of unethical business in Penang and Sabah exposed by the Ministry of Health as reported in The Star today. Read it here.

Directors of the company should not only be fined but also jailed for cheating and endangering their customers health with fake products. Heavy punishment should be imposed on them to deter others from commiting the same unethical business practice.
