A screen capture of the fake news site peddling a diabetes "cure".
DIABETES is a modern-day scourge that has been increasingly prevalent as a result of changing diets and lifestyles. In 2019, the Health Ministry reported that over 3.9 million Malaysians, or 18.3% of the adult population, suffered from the condition. This has led to a situation where unscrupulous individuals and organisations try to profit from the suffering of others by selling sufferers quack cures and medicines. Recently, it's been alleged that they've gone as far as to misuse the name of a former Health director-general to peddle their snake oil scam. Is this true?
