Legless peril in Perlis


Perlis - Malaysia's smallest state - has the highest number of diabetes patients who have been forced to have their legs amputated.

The reason is unclear, though. Maybe the state has too many sweet delicacies or foodstuff at the disposal of their people.

Statistically, a staggering 60 to 100 patients get their legs chopped up ANNUALLY. And currently, 13,714 registered diabetes patients in the state alone. Now, that's one hell of a worrying thought.

Something's amiss, but I just can't put my finger on it.
