Malaysia serves as an excellent example of the growth of medical tourism.
Medical , as well as dental tourism , was only instituted formally in the medical community with legislation and guidelines in 1999. Since that time Medical Tourism has taken off as an industry in Malaysia both as medical and health tourism. The contributions to the Malaysian economy have been substantial. In the fiscal year 2006 a count total of close to 300,ooo tourists and gross revenue of 32.8 million dollars was achieved.
Seafood lovers, be careful. These creatures are actually NOT Lobsters. Please read on…
Do not eat these mini lobsters.
These mini crustaceans are literally the garbage cleaners in the sewage treatment plants.

Do not order this dish.
Pass this on to those friends who may want to try these mini ‘lobsters’.
