Happy Birthday Ben Haron....

Ben Haron @ Abdullah Haron was pakdokter's classmate in medical school. He went on to specialise in cardiothoracic surgery and was one of the pioneers at the IJN (the National Heart Institute).

Today Ben celebrated his 58th birthday. He was a precocious and clever little boy , earning double promotions in his primary school years. As a result when he came to medical school, he was one of the younger ones in the class. And he continued to be one of the 'smaller' boys in the class. Ben was one of the resident heart surgeons at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre until recently and as of this August, is relocating to Johore Baru, the capital of the state where he came from.

Ben invited pakdokter and partner and some other friends to his birthday dinner at the "Las Carretas" in Subang Jaya. The food and drinks were great.

To Ben, "Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns" to you and 'All the Best' in your new endeavour into Johore.
