PETALING JAYA: The days of roadside peddlers selling traditional medicines and herbs are numbered as the Health Ministry has warned they can be arrested once the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) Act is enforced. 

Health Ministry deputy director-general (research and technical support) Datuk Dr Ismail Merican said under the proposed Act, expected to be tabled in Parliament by early 2006, selling the medicines at the roadside would be a punishable offence.
