New Interest in an "old" disease?

It is unfortunate that we find now there is a need more movement disorders specialists to relieve the sufferers of Parkinson as Parkinson diseases is not a disease of the elderly.
Despite being an "old" disease, PD is still a "new" disease in the eye of Malaysian Public.

Many sufferers of Parkinson's regard the early symptoms of PD as a natural ageing process and not a disease.

We have to highlight the persistent agony of sufferers of Parkinson's that most Malaysian are not aware of. The "no hope" image of PD due to ignorance - many are not well aware of the remarkable advances in treatment of Parkinson's.

Thank you, Teo, for an important reminder -- not only for Malaysians, but for all countries. PD is still greatly misunderstood by most people.
