PETALING JAYA: What was supposed to be a nice traditional treatment ended up being a horrifying event for Liew Yooi Hean.� Instead of getting a soothing cupping therapy, the 28-year-old salesman ended up suffering from painful burns, which left marks all over his back.
Last Sunday, he went to a local massage parlour in Puchong here to get the treatment, but midway through the session he experienced an extreme burning sensation.� �For 20 minutes I was left alone in the therapy room with my back on extreme heat,� he said.� The therapy involved placing heated glass cups on the back. People believe that the treatment helps remove wind from the body.� �I noticed blisters all over my back and there was water and blood oozing out,� he added.� He only discovered some 28 suction marks on his back when he got home.� Liew paid RM90 for the therapy, which included foot reflexology. � �The blisters and marks were on my shoulders right down to my lower back,� he said, adding that he has lodged a police report and sought medical attention.� Liew has also sought the help of MCA public services and complaints department head Datuk Michael Chong.� Chong said the parlour owner has paid Liew RM500 in compensation.� �A Chinese physician told me the burning sensation and blisters only occurred if the body was too oily,� he said.� Liew said he was not informed of the �effects� of the therapy during the session. � Chong advised people to be more cautious before going for any kind of therapy.�
