Oral cancer in this country, according to Dr Sobial Bilal, a Senior Lecturer in the School of Dentistry, is mainly caused by smoking, chewing betel and drinking alcohol.

It is easier to detect if regular visits to the dentist are made. Article is in Mandarin. Learn more about this at Understanding Oral Cancer (Nanyang Siang Pau, 21 January 2018).
