I serve as a General Surgeon and Lecturer at the teaching hospital of the National University of Malaysia (UKM), where I seamlessly integrate my clinical expertise and academic enthusiasm to provide top-notch healthcare and education. My responsibilities encompass a wide range of tasks, including conducting diverse open and laparoscopic surgeries, performing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures with OGDS and Colonoscopy, and actively participating in both clinical and administrative work.

Additionally, I oversee Specialist out-patient clinics, manage endoscopic services, lead ward rounds, and attend to in-patient care, while also fulfilling the role of Surgeon On-call/Incharge as per the schedule. I hold multiple roles within the Clinical service, aiming to uphold effective clinical governance and contribute to audits for continuous improvement.

Apart from my clinical duties, I take pleasure in educating and guiding the cohort of postgraduate surgical residents and undergraduate medical students. I consistently engage in bedside teaching sessions, create and review examination questions, coordinate internal and national professional exams, and organize surgical workshops and seminars. In my capacity as a Faculty of Medicine member, I have received acknowledgment from both the department and faculty for my roles as an Undergraduate and Postgraduate supervisor and examiner.

I actively participate in research and the publication of works pertaining to my area of focus, encompassing General & Colorectal Surgery. In preparation for forthcoming research endeavors and potential breakthroughs, I consistently procure tumor tissues for storage in the Biobank.

I have been actively involved in diverse local and international studies and conferences centered around the topic, with the objective of enhancing awareness and advancing outcomes for individuals affected by colorectal cancer. My ultimate aspiration is to undergo subspecialty training in Colorectal Surgery, concentrating specifically on Robotic surgery and Genomic research.
