Experiencing through endless crisis, critical life-staking conditions and overbearing paperwork on a daily basis always take a toll even on the best of us. Nevertheless, we keep going strong and give everything we've got, because that is the way we imply our values and it is our responsibilities to the society in inculcating the spirit of Rahmatan lil 'Alamin.

The tongue is sharper than a sword, highlighting the power of speech for both building up and tearing down, often described as a double-edged sword capable of healing or causing severe harm.

Appreciations never come cheap. Customers like you are always the reason for our continued strive and thrive. Thank you for these kind words, it may seem small to others but it means the world to us as healthcare providers.

As the year draws gently to a definite closure, it offers organisations a meaningful moment for reflection, an opportunity to review strategies and performance in pursuit of the best possible outcomes. Equally important is the recognition of individuals whose unwavering commitment and professionalism have been instrumental in shaping success throughout the year.

Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC ) proudly hosts the Staff Excellence Awards (SEA) 2025 in December, a distinguished occasion dedicated to honouring outstanding staff members whose contributions continue to advance the hospital's vision and mission.

The event is graced by the presence of Prof. Dr. Jamalludin Ab. Rahman, IIUM Kuantan Campus Director, Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohamed Saufi Awang, SASMEC Hospital Director, the Hospital Management Committee, the top management of the hospital, heads of departments, clinical coordinators, senior officers, celebrated retirees and staff.

The ceremony features an inspiring address by the Hospital Director, engaging performances, thrilling lucky draws and the presentation of awards across various categories, including Best Strategic Planning Project, Creativity & Innovation, Community Engagement, Integrity, Outstanding Customer Service Excellence, Sports Excellence, Best Staff, and the highly esteemed Hospital Director’s Award.

"Since 2019, SEA has been our platform to recognise dedication, teamwork and excellence. This year's theme, "Meriah Sekampung: Menggamit Memori, Menyanjung Bakti" reminds us of our humble beginnings in 2016. Small team, limited scope, but big hopes. After almost a decade, we have grown tremendously. Yet, we remain grounded. We remember where we started, we honour those who built this journey and we keep moving forward. Stronger and definitely better", he said in his speech.

The event also became a moment of graceful farewell for Prof. Dr. Zamzuri Zakaria@Mohamad, Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohd Basri Mat Nor and Assoc.

No Sugar Tuesday is here again, reminding us of the importance of reducing sugar intake for better health. Today, we would like to share how to make smarter choices when selecting food and beverage products by understanding sugar labels.

1) Low sugar products contain a small amount of sugar, but sugar is still present.

2) Sugar-free products contain almost no sugar, with less than 0.5 g per 100 g or 100 ml.

3) No added sugar means no sugar has been added during processing; however, the product may still contain naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit juices.

Choose wisely based on your health goals and needs. This message is brought to you by Public Health Unit, Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre .
