Bakar claimed the price of a queen termite could be as high as between RM 2,500 and RM 5,000, depending on its size and colour.

He said that he once pocketed RM 7,000 by selling three queen termites.

"If there is any effect, it is only psychological in nature because the person who eats it believes it works," he said.
