I posted this in my status today:

I received an email from a certain MObored (bukan nama sebenar) last week.

Hi MOfrust.
I need your opinion on something. I've been working at a private hospital doing general medicine for the past 5 years. No masters degree or papers. I've been feeling rather bored with work for the past few months. I love my patients but I have the urge to walk out of the hospital and never come back.

These were not his exact words...can't just copy paste, meh. Need to maintain confidentiality. But I did get a consent to write this entry based on his story.

Its been five days since an earthquake jolted Sabah. While there has been significant damage towards infrastructures in Ranau district, the most devastating aftermath of the quake is the lost of lives. At the time of writing, 12 people lost their lives up on Mount Kinabalu. Six of the casualties were school children from Singapore. They were supposed to have the time of their lives climbing up Mount Kinabalu; the tallest mountain in South East Asia. No one expected a disaster like this to happen. It may not be the first earthquake to have happened in Sabah but the effect may be the most severe.

Never forget

For everyone else, it was just another day. Some Malaysian would be going about their lives preparing to celebrate Christmas. However, for the people of Dabong, Kelantan it was the day they almost lost everything. It was the day when the flood waters got so bad that they had to flee to higher ground leaving all their belongings behind. Other states such as Terengganu, Pahang and Perak were affected as well. It was one of the worst natural disaster in the history of Malaysia.
