MY RETIREMENT MEMOIR

How many of us, as teenagers, had the responsibility of taking our ailing parents to the hospital for follow-ups? Perhaps, not that many.  I had to wait for hours with my stroke mom in the government clinic to see a doctor. Unfortunately, the busy doctor hardly spent a minute to see my mom although we spent half a day in the hospital for a consultation. During those challenging times, I made a personal vow: If I ever became a doctor, I pledged to arrive early at the clinic, devote extra time to my patients, and strive to ensure they left with smiles of satisfaction after our encounter. True to my commitment, I upheld this practice until the very last day of my career. I used to assist my adopted brother to deliver tiffin carrier meals to the first Malaysian state surgeon, Mr. Peter Vanasingham during his operation days. Witnessing him, blood-stained in his OT gown, receiving meals alongside junior doctors left a lasting impression on me. On that day, I resolved that if I pursued me...

Moses My Friend

 He is very dear to me. I met him more than 25 years back at BMCC. I was amazed by his power of memory and knowing the Bible by hard. He is my walking Bible to me. Any doubt in the Bible.I will refer to him. He will get me the verses faster than the computer, along with the meaning to the verses.  I understand from that day that Moses is very close to Lord Jesus Christ and a brother in Christ to me. From the time I first met him till the last day of his life of dearest brother in Christ, Moses. We keep in touch physically or virtually by social media. I am really devastated by his demise. But I believe he is with Lord Jesus happy and joyous. As he loved HIM very dearly, as everyday in his life he wont fail to mention or talk about Lord Jesus. I am going to miss him physically, though in spirit he is with me, as a sincere friend n a brother to me.

How many from this audience, who in the teen age around 15th to 18th years old need to take a very ill parents to hospital? PAUSE I am sure hardly any!  I had to sit with my stroke mom in the government clinic to see a dr for hrs n the dr spent hardly a minute to see my mom, though we spent half a day in the hospital. At that time, I made my decision if I became a doctor.  I would come early to the clinic and spend more time with patients that they would go smiling and satisfied with my encounter. I DID THAT TILL MY LAST DAY OF MY WORK. I decided to be a surgeon during my childhood. When I used to ass...
