Everyone in this world wishes they were good-looking. Who doesn’t want that? But for most people, especially Malaysians, if they wish to be attractive, there is a certain beauty standard they desire to adhere to. That is having pale and clear skin, which unfortunately is very standardised in Malaysian society and it’s very degrading.
Recently, there was some buzz on social media of a TikTok video showcasing a few people who carelessly used vitamin C injection as an alternative way to grow fair or white skin more clear and fast.

Based on the video, it can be shown that the people that received the vitamin C injection treatment were only seen within their cars and homes, but not in a place where you expect them to be.
The sharing of the TikTok video pulled in the attention of many Malaysian netizens and most of them are against the idea of the actions done by the individuals in the video as they might harm their own well-being. Some users even commented on white-skin obsession.
Unfortunately for Malaysian people in general, there is still a huge number of them who are still obsessed with having fair skin, and people have to stop encouraging it. It’s very evident that Malaysians still have a lot to learn about appreciating other forms of beauty instead of becoming paler. Being white doesn’t make your life instantly better!
Due to this white-washed mentality, this issue has attracted the attention of Dr. Ingky, where he took to Instagram to address this issue. According to him, those individuals in the video getting a vitamin C injection might be hit with a prison sentence that will last for years.
Also, according to the doctor himself, vitamin C injections are considered harmful across the world due to doubts arising from the source of the vitamin C itself. People unaware of this might obtain side effects. Moreover, there are no signs of any factories that give permission to send out vitamin C as a process of beautification. So what many people think would become a life-changing experience for them, will face the probable dangers of undergoing such risky treatment that will possibly damage your entire life. Skin-whitening obsession needs to stop!
