Banned health product - "Curvy" contains Sibutramine.
Ref: Borneo Bullettin - December 29th, 2011 - Thursday.
This was just released by Ministry Of Health announcing the dangers of consuming the above product.
"Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that causes high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat and sleeping disorders through prolonged use, and it is prohibited in human food or ingredients under the Public Health (Food) Regulations (R1 of Chapter 182)."
This reminds me of one of the famous "Bangkok Pill" which was once sold in the market. From various statements, some people claimed that it had once caused the person to become somewhat "crazy"(sorry for my use of the term).
Aside from Sibutramine (appetite suppressant), other drugs such as; Dexamethasone (steroid) are commonly used in the ingredients. For most people, they wouldn't know whether such medicine is safe or not. In most businesses, these drug were used to achieved the fast effect, ignoring the side effect present when consumed especially in the long term.
