Kelantan Health Department uncovered 5,584 unregistered products, including cheap medicine, valued at RM60,000 during a recent enforcement operation. Dr. Kasuadi Hussin, the state health department head, explained that the operation, carried out in collaboration with the state's Pharmaceutical Enforcement Branch (CPF) and assisted by public tip-offs, inspected nine premises, with seven of them found to have the unregistered products along with stolen mobile phones and computers.

Dr. Hussin emphasized that the enforcement action targeted the sale of products suspected of containing lethal chemicals, violating the Opium Act 1952 and the Poison Act 1952. This operation is part of a continuous effort by the CPF to combat the sale and distribution of unsanctioned health products in the market. Further investigations are ongoing, including identifying the premises' owners and the source of the products.

He urged the public to report any suspicions regarding the sale of doubtful drugs and health products through the SisPAA reporting portal or by calling the hotline at 09-7730 586.
