A picture tell a thousand story 1

-


A picture can tell a lot of story. When i look into my hard disk, there is a lot of random picture that i took, most of it during my student time before i start working. Guess after i start working, life becoming the same everyday and not much picture need to be taken.

This picture was taken on my final momment in Medical school. This is 'Lokan bakar' or in english i guess i can call it Grill clam or something. This cuisine can be found near Sulaman area Kota Kinabalu just before we reach Karambunai Resort. Before the roundabout to Karambunai or to Kudat if i am not mistaken.

When i took this picture, it was the last time i ate at that place. My girlfriend insist of going there as we never had the opportunity to go there before. Thus, after our final exam, we went there and ate those clam. It us just a plain claim burn on top of open fire, and it is served best with chilli and coconut puding.

This clam gain a lot of media coverage when promoting Sabah to tourist. It became like a tourist attraction. But i would not recommend it to tourist because the hygiene of this place..has a lot of space to be improved. Nevertheless, we did try to eat here and we did not get sick.

But when i work as a doctor now, i realize that this place is an endemic place for cholera. So beware.

I never went to this place again after this picture moment. Maybe i am health conscious now. Or maybe i did not find grilled clam that much fascinating. But i did enjoy my time here. You know, eating with your love one will always be the best.

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
