Having Psoriasis in Malaysia

By: Rocyie Wong 

I have been struggling with psoriasis for almost half of my life. Growing up with a skin disease in Asia is not an easy thing, especially in a Muslim country like Malaysia. Covering up with long sleeves and long pants is the norm, so it is really easy for those patches to stay hidden. Thus, this also explains why skin disease is not talked about widely over here. As a result, there is a lack of education, awareness and understanding about various skin conditions even though they are actually very common among us. This puts us, various skin condition fighters like myself, in a position where we struggle in silence for social acceptance. Exposing our skin comes with unpleasant stares and comments from strangers, which can end up being a traumatizing experience so we avoid that at all cost.

That’s when I discovered @getyourskinout and the whole psoriasis community on Instagram. It made me feel so relieved to know that I am not alone. However, I noticed that most of them were caucasians. I wanted to be the pioneer representative from Asian countries and that’s one of the reasons why I started Project Naked. It took me 3 years of mental preparation and every ounce of courage I had in me to start this personal project of mine. But once I crossed to the other side, I was so glad I did it. The sense of liberty and freedom I felt was out of this world and I hope that I am able to inspire many others to do the same. Through being transparent and sharing my journey, I wish to highlight the struggles of the psoriasis community to the world. Because as much as this condition can breaks us down, in many ways it is also the very reason why we have a story to tell. I want to tell the world that our struggles are worth celebrating and worth sharing.

    I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 75,700 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 214,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason.

    I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency, funds with the help of Rightwaylaw So I file a report on to Recovery service on Text, Email : rightwaylawrecoveryservice@gmail Dot com And call And WhatsApp +1(479) 849-4201 Telegram +1 513 602 3179 and they were able to help me get back all my lost funds within few days.
