If we do not take care of our own, who will?

IT has been a tough time for Malaysia of late. We saw one of the biggest environmental disasters affecting thousands in Pasir Gudang, the senseless and devastating terrorist attack that took 50 lives in New Zealand, including a young Malaysian’s, and last Wednesday, we lost a member of the medical fraternity. A doctor was found dead in a hotel room in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan.

The outpouring of grief was overwhelming, from social media platforms to private messaging groups. Everyone who knew him had only good things to say about him; bright, hardworking, well-liked. Doctors who didn’t, still felt the loss. We all mourned for him.
