KUALA LUMPUR: The gratitude of earthquake survivors in Turkiye is fresh in the mind of Lt-Gen Datuk Dr Zulkeffeli Mat Jusoh, as fresh as the taste of a simple roadside kebab, after the Op Starlight mission to build a field hospital in that country.

Recalling the episode, the Malaysian Armed Forces Health Services director-general said he and his team were travelling from Gaziantep, one of the worst-hit areas at ground zero, to the field hospital in Adiyaman and stopped at a kebab stall.
