The Health Ministry is looking to regulate the Malaysian beauty industry to prevent unscrupulous elements from cheating customers and offering substandard services, said deputy health minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad, after launching the Cosmobeaute Asia 2005 exhibition.
He explained that there were no laws or Acts that ensure the safety of cosmetic treatments and enhancements. He added that the Health Ministry is in the process of drafting a Cosmetic Act to regulate the beauty profession.
