Here's my advice to those parents who buy milk powder in Malaysia:

 

Avoid provision/drug stores/convenience stores and buy from the big players such as Tesco, Giant or Aeon instead. It may costs you a few dollars more but peace of mind is priceless.

 

Even in Singapore, you can get cheaper milk powder from some Chinese medicine halls. However the source of these cheaper forumla milk is likely from Malaysia. DYODD.
