“Just do it,” declared Mohamed Noor Suleiman, unequivocal in his advice to anyone considering joining Mercy Malaysia. He should know the rewards. After all, he has spent five years with the non-profit organisation, which focuses on providing medical relief, sustainable development and risk education activities for vulnerable communities in both crisis and non-crisis situations.
According to him, being with Mercy has taught him the priceless lesson of being humble and appreciating the value of life. And in the course of his work, he has saved many, but sadly, he has also witnessed numerous deaths. They are always the lowest points in this line of work, but the disappointments merely spur the successes.
