Kelvin,
Dr Malata was one of the hardest working people in his class. He still works hard.
We can all follow that example in whatever we do.
I wish you the best in your studies.
He is really a source of inspiration..
I knew Dr. Charles Malata way back in 1983. He introduced himself to our family as he was our relation on my father’s side. I am so impressed with his achievements and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
That’s the more reason why I want to pursue a Medical career..!
