Dr Ishak Mas'ud, the founder and principle of the Hospital Al Islam specialist center in Kg Baru, is an old friend from school.
I met him today, in his office at the hospital, firstly as his patient, but more fondly as a reunion of two old friends.
He is as humble today as he was more than 30 years ago in school, despite his successes and being the founder of the hospital which now employs 200 staff and provides 60 beds for in-patients.
He charges lower than the market rate.
" My small contribution to society, especially those who can't afford!" Shyly, he answered my question as to why his rate is lower.
While waiting for my turn for treatment, I proudly told the guy next to me, "Itu doktor kawan sekolah saya - dia memang pandai sejak sekolah dan memang baik hati!"
