KUALA LUMPUR: The health ministry said abortion pills have been acquired illegally online from abroad or smuggled into the country using postal and courier services.
It said it received 51 complaints of online sales of abortion pills in 2018 and 2019, which could be abused for illegal abortion.
In a statement, health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry will work with postal and courier service companies to block the purchase of such pills.
