I bought two books from Dato' Anwar Fazal for RM100.00. I wrote to En. Fadli Ghani to inform him of the two books.
The first book is "Studies from the Institute of Medical Research, Federation of Malaya, Jubilee vol. 25, 1900-1950" which was written by the Institute for Medical Research (IMR), Kuala Lumpur. It is filled with information.
The second book is about the history of medicine in Penang "To Heal the Sick, the story of healthcare and doctors in Penang, 1786-2004", published in 2004, Dr. Ong Hean Teik, editor. The book was written by a group of Chinese doctors in Penang along with two Malay doctors. One was an early Malay doctor and the other Malay doctor happened to be my ex-student, Dr. Hanifah Abdul Gafoor. However, the book did not contain my grandfather's name even though he was a Penang doctor and a Penang icon. My guess is the new generation of doctors are not aware of the existence of earlier doctors in Penang or the records of the early doctors were not easily available or documented for easy reference.
