A STEP TOWARDS REALITY

Today I played host to Amal and her 5 other friends in a study visit to Cyberjaya University College of Medical Science (CUCMS). KZ, ATAI,SALIA,FIKHRY, AMIR and AMAL met Prof Dr Latif of CUCMS and were given clear explanation about route to be a medical practitioner. I broke the ice by telling Prof that all these 5 + 1 aspired to be doctors. Why +1? Oh! That was because of the uncertain KZ who was still undecisive whether to be a doctor or an engineer. Well, I let them had the full 2 hour session with Prof Latif. Prof, was very professional, caring and loving figure. He was never biased towards CUCMS. He explained the various possible routes and opportunities to be a doctor. The kids listen attentively. They interjected intermittenly whenever there was doubt. Prof covered a wide spectrum of possibilities, ranging from doing it local to abroad, IPTA or IPTS, sponsored or otherwise.

I was engrosed witth the discussion so much so that I felt I was one of them who wanted to pursue medicine.

"Saya takut darah Prof, tapi saya nak jadi Doctor. Camana tu? " said KZ!

Prof gave a broad smile and responded. " You could be a specialist from A to Z in medicine. You hate blood? Then be a radiologist! Even a doctor could be a prime minister!" Smart answer.

A quick tour around the complex after dzuhor prayer gave us the feel of how the ambience of CUCMS was.

We left the complex about 4.30pm, heading straight to Precint 8 food court. By then KZ already forgotten being an engineer. Atai shifted from being a veterinar to a medical practitioner. Amal look firm about pursuing medicine abroad instead of doing local.

Dear beloved kids,
That was just a little effort Pak Cik could offer with the hope that it help you boys and gals be more decisive and determined. The rest, please seek blessing from HIM, Allah SWT . He knows the best

We tried our best
He will do the rest!

InsyaAllah, my prayers are all for you kids. Insya Allah, with His blessing, we would have 6 more young doctors who will serve for the benefit of the muslimin and muslimat, and...for the ummah. Ameen.
