PETALING JAYA, Aug 27 — Malaysian surgeon Dr Nur Amalina Che Bakri has issued a word of caution after her name and image was used without permission to promote a health drink. A salesperson known as “Miera” had used a screenshot of an article with quotes from Dr Amalina to promote a juice supplement touting several benefits for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems.

The article in question highlighted Dr Amalina’s Twitter posts from December 2019 in which she had criticised unhealthy lifestyles and the rising number of diabetes cases in Malaysia. The London-based doctor took to Twitter yesterday to clarify that she has never endorsed any products and shared screenshots of “Miera” using her name and image to reach out to customers on WhatsApp.“I would like to ask Miera to stop using my name. I have never endorsed any products.“Do not self-medicate and don’t fall for the empty promises made by these sellers,” she wrote.Saya diberitahu ada penjual produk yang menggunakan nama saya untuk menjual produk suplemen beliau.
