Yun Nam hair care paid RM 14,986 after losing the tribunal case!

Yum Nam Hair Care ordered to refund RM14,986

February 23, 2011

PUTRAJAYA, Feb 23 — The Consumer Claims Tribunal (CCT) today ordered Yum Nam Hair Care Sdn Bhd to refund a couple RM14,986 within 14 days.
CCT president Datuk Abu Bakar Awang ordered the company to make the refund to former Universiti Malaysia Terengganu vice chancellor Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Sulaiman Md Yassin and his wife Datin Noor Rohani Mohd Noor after finding it had breached business ethics.
Sulaiman had complained to the tribunal that he and his wife had signed up for a hair treatment package with the company costing RM15,600 (RM 7,800 each) payable by monthly instalments of RM650, apart from RM2,776 for hair treatment products, in May last year.
However, after four treatment sessions, the company asked the couple to take up another package costing RM15,000 with payment to be made up front, he said, adding that dissatisfied, he asked the company to discontinue both his treatment and that of his wife, and stop drawing payments from his credit card account.
When the company ignored two letters written by him to that effect, Sulaiman brought up the case to the tribunal. — Bernama

Weekly summary - 179th week

I started to take 1.25mg of Proscar for four days and stop for a day. I tried to take only 1mg average per day instead of 1.25mg . So far so good, nothing bad happen such as hair falls on the day I do not consume Proscar. I think it is workable and not consume more than it is prescript although nothing bad happen to me yet.
I am using Rogaine in the morning which is easier to dry. Kirkland Minoxidil is used at night only. I feel both are as effective. The only difference is that Rogaine dries much faster than Kirkland minoxidil 5%. 
Any shampoo that is acceptable as long as it is suitable with you. I am using Bawang shampoo now. My suggestion is Himalaya is a good choice as it contain less chemical substance and ingredients. Of course, the manufacturer claims it is free from chemical substance, I do not believe it.
 I know many of us worried the risk of taking Propecia, but I doubt of Rogaine alone will help to stop your hair loss. Please share your success with me.

Weekly summary - 178th week -- lawsuit in US

Rogaine -- Use for hair regrowth but not stop your hair falling
Propecia -- Stop your hair falling but not helping your hair growing

This is the short conclusion why we combine both of Rogaine and propecia for male pattern hairloss. I used to try only Propecia but did not give me a satisfied result.
However, as I posted previously, propeciahelp.com has started a lawsuit against Merck of the permanent side effects for Propecia in Canada. Now, they are planning the same lawsuit in US. If this successful, it will be a wave of lawsuit in other developed countries I guess.
Different people has different perception of this drug. I just want to let those who want to try Propecia aware of the side effects and possible side effects. We can not do much until a better medicine to cure our baldness.
