Born to rubber plantation farmers who worked tirelessly to support five children, he learned the value of hard work from a young age.

However, he began questioning whether the demanding system was truly serving his life's needs. He realized that while he was helping many patients, the depth of care was limited by time constraints. Ultimately, he chose to prioritize his physical and mental health, quality time with family, and personal freedom. His resignation is not an escape, but a deliberate choice to find a path more suitable to his life goals. He will officially leave government service on March 1st, 2024, ready to start a new chapter.
