#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Niklas Lam flies to China for dentist, so much cheaper
Lam said: "Extracting just one tooth in Hong Kong would have cost me between HK$700 (RM380) and HK$2,500 (RM1,360), but in Shenzhen, I pay 630 yuan (RM365) to have two removed.
"I'm lucky I didn't have to get my wisdom tooth removed because that would've cost even more in Hong Kong."
Lam said that extracting a wisdom tooth in Hong Kong costs around HK$5,000 (RM2,720), and if surgery is required, the price could reach up to HK$8,000 (RM4,351).
A wisdom tooth extraction in Shenzhen only costs 700 yuan (RM405).
"The price difference is ridiculous. Will an actor in Hong Kong be very rich? The truth is they won't. If they're solely relying on their job as an artiste for income, they won't have enough to feed themselves," said Lam.
Many netizens agreed with the actor, and said that they were not surprised at the high cost of living in Hong Kong.
"No wonder my cousin goes to Shenzhen every week for groceries," said one netizen.

Local woman foiled smuggling health products worth RM4,000 in Kedah
PUTRAJAYA: The Bukit Kayu Hitam Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) successfully intercepted a local woman attempting to smuggle four unregistered health products at the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex (ICQS) in Kedah. The products, estimated to be worth RM4,460, were suspected of containing scheduled poisons under the Poisons Act 1952. According to an AKPS statement, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) referred the seized items to the Pharmaceutical Enforcement Division, Ministry of Health (MOH) for further action. 'The inspection found that the health products in question were not registered with the Drug Control Authority (PBKD) and were suspected of containing poisons controlled under the Poisons Act 1952,' the statement read. AKPS confirmed that the confiscated goods would undergo forfeiture and disposal procedures, while investigations into the woman involved would proceed under existing legal provisions. 'AKPS will not compromise with any party attempting to smuggle prohibited goods that could threaten public safety and health,' the agency emphasized. The statement also revealed that this year alone, the MOH has seized goods worth RM32,986, including seven items worth RM2,640 in January, 18 items worth RM25,116 in March, and seven items worth RM5,230 in July. - Bernama

Woman caught smuggling unregistered health products
BUKIT KAYU HITAM: A Malaysian woman's attempt to smuggle four unregistered health products was thwarted yesterday at the Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS Complex. The items, suspected to contain scheduled poison, were valued at RM4,460. In a statement, the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency said all four products were found to be unregistered with the Drug Control Authority (DCA) and may contain substances controlled under the Poisons Act 1952. It said the Customs Department referred the case to the Health Ministry's Pharmaceutical Enforcement Division at around 3.30pm. "For the record, this year the Health Ministry has already handed over 32 items worth RM32,986 to Customs," read the statement. These included seven items worth RM2,640 in January, 18 items worth RM25,116 in March, and another seven worth RM5,230 this month. The items will be confiscated and disposed of, with further investigation underway against the woman involved. It said it would not compromise with any parties attempting to smuggle prohibited items that may pose a threat to public safety and health.

Redesigning the speculum for women's comfort
Lilium, a 3D-printed plastic alternative to the gynaecological speculum (bottom), and a traditional metal speculum (top). — Photos: AFP It is cold, hard, metallic and commonly associated with pain. No, it is not a medieval torture instrument, but the vaginal speculum, which is used every day around the world for essential gynaecological examinations. Two engineers at Delft University in the Netherlands are now rethinking the decades-old design of the speculum, long dreaded by many patients, to make it less intimidating and less painful. 'I have a lot of experience with the vaginal speculum unfortunately,' engineer Tamara Hoveling said. 'I've never seen it as a pleasurable experience and I've always wondered why it looks like this.' The PhD candidate in medical industrial design then delved into the dark history behind the creation of the speculum – one version of which was developed by American doctor James Marion Sims 180 years ago. It was 'tested on enslaved women without permission', said the 29-year-old. 'So that motivated me even more to take on this project.' Hoveling teamed up with Ariadna Izcara Gual, who was then working on her master's in industrial design engineering at Delft. 'As I was doing a lot of interviews, I was doing those sort of sketches with the same sort of shape, but people were still scared of the device,' said the 28-year-old Spanish researcher. The Cusco speculum – the most commonly-used model – is a metal device with a handle, beak and screw to adjust how wide it opens once inside the vagina. For many, its insertion is uncomfortable or even painful, and causes anxiety. 'When you get scared, your muscles clamp together and that makes it even harder to relax. 'Then the speculum is opened, pushing against these tense muscles and making it even more painful,' Hoveling said. 'So I tried to look for shapes that might be related to the reproductive organs, like, for example, the flower, that also opens.' The result was a prototype called the Lilium, named after the lily flower. Hoveling shows 3D-printed prototypes of Lilium. On the table are also metal speculums, which are the current standard equipment used for vaginal examinations. Like the more familiar tampon, it is made of soft plastic and has an applicator. 'It's designed with the patient in mind, rather than the doctor. 'And we're really trying to improve the comfort aspect in a sensitive spot.' The Lilium also meets doctors' needs. Its three-sided opening keeps the vaginal walls from collapsing, allowing better visibility during examinations. The Lilium remains at an early stage, with further ergonomic testing and material research needed to refine the prototype. The researchers must still secure safety certifications, run human trials and obtain regulatory approval before it can reach clinics. To fund the next phase, they launched a crowdfunding campaign that quickly drew media attention in the Netherlands. Within just two days, the campaign raised 100,000 euros (RM493,270), far surpassing expectations. 'It's also a sign. It's proof there are people who really want change, that there is a real problem here, and that the current market solutions are not the best,' Hoveling said. 'I've received a lot of emails from women who told me they actually don't go to the gynaecologist because of this device, because they're scared, because they have a traumatic experience.' Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It can be detected via a smear test or HPV (human papillomavirus) screening – both performed using a speculum. With funding to allow this new gynaecological tool to be developed properly, the Lilium could be saving lives within five years. – By Stéphanie Hamel/AFP
