KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Sometime in 2018, a local celebrity posted a photo of him dumping some medicines into a rubbish bin immediately after he collected them at the pharmacy of a government health facility.

The medicines were prescribed to him by a doctor at the hospital for an ailment he was suffering from and he had the audacity to not only throw them into the trash bin but also post a photo of him doing so in his social media account. The celebrity, of course, earned the wrath of netizens who rebuked him for being so irresponsible.
