LKF Medical

What an ugly building you might say. But the logo at the building, the hand with an axe is a famous logo for one of the most used medicated oil around South East Asia.

LKF Medical produces the famous 'Axe Brand Medicated Oil'. The locals (in the local Hokkien dialect) call it "hong you". The Malays who use it call it "minyak cap kapak".

I can't stand the smell though. But there seems to be many people who are addicted to it. They will be dabbing bits of it at their upper lips near the nose or at the temple at their forehead. I was in the train the other day and the person beside me had it on.





Do you use the medicated oil?

I suddenly remember a secondary school classmates who is addicted to the smell. He will dab some of the oil to his handkerchief and sniff his hanky all day long!

Need more brain power for exams?

Few days ago, I met up for dinner with a friend that's 'collecting papers'. He is doing some Masters program, and a few other certification courses. Asked him how is his studies, and he said he had trouble remembering things.

Guess what? He asked his doctor and doctor actually has a medicine for it! haha...



How come I did not know of this when I was studying last time? LOL...
(Maybe I did not need it. haha.. I think I did not bad for my graduate school. )

I wonder how many people take this in Singapore.
