Week 8 : Extraordinary Person That I Admire Most

PROFESSOR DR MUHAYA MOHAMAD 

Everybody have their own idol and the extraordinary people that they admire most. I also have my own idol that I really admire and I always dream to become like her. Parents are the person that becomes the idol of every child, however instead of parents; there will be somebody else that becomes the idol of the children. Parents will always be number one idol in our heart and life. In my life I have my own idol and the extraordinary people that I admire most. The person that captured my attention is Professor Dr Muhaya Mohamad.

Professor Dr Muhaya Mohamad was born in December 1 1958 at Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu. She is the eldest child from two siblings. She married to Dr Azmi Jamion and they have two children. Professor Dr. Muhaya Mohamad currently serves as Consultant Eye Surgeon and Director of PCMC Eye and Lasik Centre Prince Court Medical Centre, Professor of Ophthalmology of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and Adjunct Professor to International Islamic University of Malaysia. Currently, she is the Chairperson of Malaysian Medical Association Ophthalmological Society. Besides that, she does motivational speeches to UKM, PCMC staff and students, professionals.Prof Muhaya graduated from medical school in 1985, obtained a Fellowship in Uveitis at Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom in 1998, which culminated in a PhD from University of London in Ocular Immunology. She was the first Malaysian to sub-specialise in Uveitis and started the first Uveitis Service and immunosuppressive therapy in autoimmune eye diseases in the country.

            Why I admire her? I admire her deeply because she is a really hardworking student when she is a medic student. She always studies hard and manages to balance her study and also her marriage. Even though she’s married early when she was still studying, it does not affect her study and she can still manage to be the best student at her University. I want to be like her because she is a good child to her parents, a good student and also a good wife. Every human being is not perfect but she has the whole package which is beautiful inside, kind hearted person and very intelligent. The most important things that I admire her are she is a good Muslim. She never disobeys her responsibility to The Almighty God (ALLAH S.W.T). She succeeds in her life including her career as a doctor and also succeeds as a good example for all Muslim in the world.

            I always see her in television in her own show which is Mata ke Hati that be aired on Astro Prima, every Friday at 7.00pm. She is a good motivator and one of her advice that I will not forget is her principles “You are what you think”. The meaning is if a person think positively, it shows that he/she is a positive person and vice versa. Instead of being a doctor, she also can be a motivator and she always giving her excellent advice in tv2 shows in the morning. It shows that she is a really extraordinary person because she has lots of responsibility but still she can do the best. I really hope that one day I can meet her and say thanks for motivate me and the people around the world!!.
