No More Doctor in the House

Just picking up from the previous entry… when I asked the doctor what his thoughts were on the recent most developments in Malaysia, he instantly knew what I was referring to, without my having to provide further details. He just looked at me and shook hid head slightly and said, “what can I say la”. The sense of frustration was so strong. We both knew even for 2 strangers meeting for the first time, what our thoughts and likely comments would be without saying too much. Those thoughts and any other sentiments have been thoroughly articulated and are widely shared. The doctor was a highly switched on person. He knew all about the AIG issues when I mentioned where I was working. He was across the fact that being a separately incorporated and regulated entity in a different jurisdiction, the contagion effect was minimal if any. He appreciated the insulation afforded under the circumstances. Like I said, he was a highly switched on guy. There was a doctor in the house who could contribute and do a whole lot more for his community. He and his family have just walked out of Malaysia. What a shame for Malaysia. If the present race is about attracting all the best talent, Malaysia has done and is doing everything it can to lose the race, if it hasn’t already lost it.
