What were your initial thoughts when faced with the task of volunteering at the COVID-19 quarantine zones? Things like your families getting worried?

Doctor's Answer

I was just talking to Mohan, he’s very lucky. So when I told my family that I’m going to do this, everyone’s like “Yeah! Go make a difference!” And then when it was the eve of when we started -- I live in a jumbo flat, I come home and I’m cordoned off to one room, there’s a meal station set up, there’s a laptop for me to watch my Netflix, then I’m told by my wife that I can’t pick up my baby or interact with them anymore. But it’s fine, it all worked out fine. I think it’s worth it, and everyone’s very supportive.

I think now that Badrun has said that, none of this is possible without our CEO, Dr. Ng Chin Siau’s support. He’s provided us with so much PPE that there’s no compromise, no compromise at all. Nothing is reused, and every day all he screams on the chat is “Protection, protection, protection”, “You are not going to get sick helping people, go out and help.” And I think it must be put forward that it’s not possible without the whole company’s support.
