Clinic Nurse Injured
Beware if you are a resident of Ipoh. I was told yesterday that there is a group of 3 Indian males who have been terrorising businesses in town. They will enter shops in broad daylight and slash anyone in sight to cause panic. Then they will ask the the shop owners to give them money which they are more than willing to give to avoid harm. That is their modus operandi.
And today I was told that a clinic in Ipoh Garden South was robbed by most probably the same gang. It happened at 8.30 am when the nurse was opening the clinic door. 3 Indian males jumped at her, got her inside the clinic, punched her and slashed her. Fortunately or unfortunately, the doctor was not inside otherwise he will also be slashed. The gang did not make off with much money and so they will be robbing again.
So be very careful wherever you are. Most of these news are not reported in the press. Arm yourseves with pepper sprays and the like or simply carry RM 5,000 with you everywhere to be given away freely!!

A surprise visit
I took this splendid picture today on Wai Hoong's request and he obliged. Now, can you all remember who he is? His name will be forthcoming in my next post. Think harder and I am sure you will get it right.
Today is a special day besides being the first day of school for our kids. I just spoke to dear Lim Kwan Wah. How better to serve our old school than to become the headmaster of ACS Primary School. His email address is lkwanwah@streamyx.com. Do drop him a line or two when you are free. I shall be inviting him to blog as well.

Let's start blogging
I finally got the energy to launch this blog for all of us young fellows. When one is going on 50's suddenly everything needs to be done at one go. This blog idea came sometime in October last year but then the lethargy.
I have already read several spiritual stories, some philosophical and others plain hilarious. It's really nice to read about how well all of you are doing. It will also be wonderful to know each other's family better for the other half of us is really inseparable from us all.
New Year's Day is always a time for reflection and quiet prayer. I always look back and count the numerous blessings I have received. As for the shortcomings, I always look at them, analyse them and make a wish never to repeat them. Then there are the whole lot of things which need to be done but never took off. Prayerfully there will be time this year.
Besides the usual day to day business of my clinical practice there is this desire to set up the Perak Chest Society. Hopefully it will become a reality this year since the idea was mooted in 2004. The main aim of the society is to help educate all those with chest diseases to help themselve. The main activities involve those with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (smoker's lung), respiratory cripples, obstructive sleep apnea, lung cancer prevention and end of life issues.
As we have discussed earlier it may also be a good idea for us to think about an education fund for needy students. I would like your feedback and perhaps then we can get down to the size of the fund.
My family and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Celebrating Christmas
Our cell group celebrated Christmas on the 23rd December, 2005. We had almost 50 people, including guests, attending the pot blessed dinner at my residence. We had a short re-enactment of the nativity scene by the children followed by singing of Christmas carols. Our cell group is known as CG 16 of the Canning Garden Mehtodist Church and I must admit we are truly blessed to have such a group of caring people. We have the very young and the very old and my son loves to meet them all. Our church embarked on cell group ministry some years back and the number of groups are getting larger.
