Money is Not Everything

I used to have one Asst Manager by the name Mr Poh and at that time I was working in Acidchem (M ) Sdn Bhd. He was my best friend as we work half day on Saturday and will normally have lunch and the rest of the Saturday together. Then one day he complaints about a serious headache and one of the team members (a lady) told him to go for a check-up.

After the check-up and when the results were known, things changed. He was dignosed with Cancer and.....he went to Singapore for operations. Actually he was meant to be promoted to full manager and as manager, he has so much benefits compare to his existing position as Asst Manager.

Our Marketing Manager, Mr Jason Lee accompanied him. In the office, we do not like him as he is Mr Perfect. But, the I realised Jason is a very kind hearted man.

After the operation in Singapore, he returned but they found fluid in his head. He went for further operations but was done in Penang. Things did not improve. We visited him at his house and noted his mum feeding him milo even though he is not taking any.

We visited him at Bagan Specialist and by this time, he is no longer conscious. He left us and we were at his funeral. To me, I lost not only a potentially good boss but a good friend.

Today, at ACMSB I was told that someone also dignosed of cancer and I quickly got in touch with another person who survived colon cancer. He was 50 with a son at 3 years old then. he is now based in Hong Kong and his only advice is to Pray Hard !! and Fight it throught !!!!

I lost Mr Poh and therefore, I am not prepare to loose anyone else. Let's pray and "doa" for this very special and kind hearted lady.
