This year’s Malaysian Dietitians’ Association National Conference was a truly nostalgic affair as we celebrated our 30th anniversary! Where did the time go? I still remember joining as a newbie like yesterday😆😜. I had a wonderful time learning at the sessions, catching up with friends — some of whom I have not seen in years— as well as chatting with young dietitians starting out in their careers💕. Kudos to the organising committee . Looking forward to next year! 🙌🏻
