Head, Department of NephrologyHospital Kuala Lumpur

A Special Tribute to“A Man We Admire”

Just 15 years ago if someone was diagnosed with renal failure they would be told by the doctor that it

was better to go home as notreatment was available for them.

Thankfully, today about 13,000 renal failure patients in the country are receiving treatment from more than 300 dialysis centres all over Malaysia. Dato’ Zaki was the man behind this.

Dato Zaki is also one of the reasons why I am still a loyal government servant till today. I look up to him as a leader with vision and integrity.

Working in an industry worth an estimated two billion ringgit per year he could have become rich but instead he chose to enrich the discipline of medicine.

Now, having dedicated 30 years of hardwork, he can be proud to have left a true legacy “for king and country” and a team of like minded successors who share his passion and whose love for the nation exceeds their personal gain.

As his colleague and friend, I can say that it has been truly “service above self” for Dato’ Zaki for the past 30 years!!

Dato’ Zaki we are proud of you.Malaysia too is proud to have you as her son!!!

Dr Lim Teck Onn

For King andCountry…

I take this opportunity to personally congratulate Y.Bhg. Dato’ Dr. Zaki Morad Mohd. Zaher for the completion of his national service to the country and to the people of Malaysia.

During the 30 years of his tenure as a government officer in Kuala Lumpur Hospital, he has shown his loyalty and his dedication. He worked very hard in providing exemplary services to the patients in need. He was involved in developing medical services, in particular developing nephrology services in Kuala Lumpur Hospital and in the entire country.

His contributions to the medical fraternity in the country is tremendous. He actively participated in and is well known among the nephrology societies in this region.

We wish Y.Bhg. Dato Dr. Zaki and his family the very best of everything in his retirement. May Allah bless him and family with good health and happiness always.

Thank you and congratulations for contributing 30 years of excellent service to Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

Dato’ Dr. Azmi ShapieDirector, Kuala Lumpur Hospital

Zaki is a very warm and big hearted and selfless person, always willing to listen to one’s problems and tries to solve them.

Once I called him regarding my mother’s renal results and treatment. He listened carefully as usual and promised to sort it out. Only then he said he was with his critically ill mother and in fact she was drawing her last few breaths.

I felt so bad that day.

He has been able to get our team working well together because of his wonderful personality.

Dear Dato’ Zaki,

Thank you for being the good and wonderful

leader that you are.

Thank you very much for the advice and encouragement all these years.

The National Cancer Registry, in particular, had benefited greatly from your support.

Gerard Lim Chin ChyeHead, Department of Radiotherapy and OncologyHospital Kuala Lumpur

From Kuching, Sarawak

I am most delighted to write about my experiences with Y. Bhg Dato Dr Zaki Morad. I can probably fill a book and many albums but this will be necessarily short for the so-called ‘scrap book”.

I first met Dato Zaki when I joined the Institute of Urology & Nephrology around May 1985, for my training. Since then, Dato Zaki has never ceased to be a mentor, colleague and friend. Although I was subsequently seconded back to Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) in January 1996, we still keep in close contact through the many activities, and of course, through the Internet. Needless to say, I still call upon him to help with the teaching in UNIMAS as a Visiting Consultant whenever it can be accommodated to DatoZaki’s very busy programme.

Although Dato Zaki is always trying to oblige, he is certainly a man of strong principles and wisdom. Therefore, we also had our many “arguments”e.g. the direction of urology training programmes. We also have differences of opinion regarding the best management for some patients. Of course, as urologists, we object to being regarded as “plumbers”! We had differences of opinion but his wisdom and broad experience usually proves him right in the end.

Continue next page….

Down memory lane….

Dato‘ Zaki is not only of great help to fellow doctors but also the paramedical staff. Many nurses and medical assistants had received training in Renal Medicine through his encouragement and recommendation, including those from Sarawak. Through his long years of dedicated services, many patients have not only benefited from his care, owing their life to him, but have also become his friends. I know of some patients who have been treated by him for more than 10 years and would call him directly whenever they need any special help!

I have no regrets about campaigning for Dato’Zaki to be elected to the Malaysian Medical Council; he has been of real help to sort out some registration problems. Dato Zaki is also credited for starting many programmes. Although I have listened to many of his lectures, I am never tired of them because each lecture is always updated with new practical advice. Of course, I do not attend his pure nephrology lectures but only those lectures related to things like clinical research, uro-nephrology, kidney transplantation and other aspects of renal replacement therapy.

Dato’ Zaki also set up the renal registry which is of world class standard. The explosion of haemodialysiscentres in the country can be partly attributed to the efforts of Dato’ Zaki. I certainly do not wish to see him retire but rather that he will move onto a new chapter of his life, doing more good uro-nephrology in Malaysia (including Sarawak). I also hope to play golf with him again, one day!

Dr Clarence Lei Chang Moh, FRCS Urol, FAMM Consultant Urologist, Sarawak

Dear Dato’ Zaki,

There are few things that bring satisfaction,Like joy for a job that's complete.When you look up and see that it's finishedAnd you get up and stand on your feet.

You look over the task that you've worked on,And reflect on the struggles it heldYou feel like an axe-wielding woodsman,Staring at the great tree he just felled.

It must be that way on completionOf a grand and substantial career.You can look back at so many victories,Spanning over so many long years.

In some ways this event is propheticA harbinger of things to comeThough if I managed to reach that point tooI might get there feeling very numb!

So we're firm in our hearty acceptanceOf all those things you've seen, been and doneAnd now that your work days are past youIt's time to get out and have some fun!

But unlike them we're all feeling sorryThat we'll see you much less than beforeBut you'll be in our thoughts very oftenYou're a person that's hard to ignore!

Wishing youall the best!

Happy Retirement!

Dr. Shanthi Varatharajan

Head of the CERU Unit

Dear Dato Zaki,

I’d like to thank you very much for giving me, not once but two chances, to be part of your CRC family. The first when you wrote me the official job offer letter and the second when I almost lost my balance and thought I wanted out.

Despite being a busy man you still found time to attend to all our small personal needs, like when I wanted to leave for my hajj pilgrimage. No other boss I knew would have taken the trouble to give personal advise let alone buy medication for me with your own money. You even had time to listen to our problems, both about work and about our personal health.

I sometimes wonder how you do this magic of balancing all your commitments. It still amazes me how you do this “just on time appearing acts”at meetings.

Both you and Dr Lim introduced the word “registry” to my life’s vocabulary. I now know how passionate you are about registries and for data and benchmarking.

Lifetime Achievement Award

If only I could nominate an award for you I’d like to give you two titles; Father of CRC, and Father of Clinical Registries.

We cannot imagine what CRC would be like without you around cause we have gotten so used to the fact that you will always be there for us.

I pray that you will have a smooth transition into your new life now and I hope that the chapter you have helped to create in the annals of Malaysian medical history will remain forever more, a legacy for us the younger generation to aspire to and to follow in your foot steps.

Dear Dato’,

I would like to share this poem “Retirement May Not Be What It Seems” written by Nicholas Gordon with you and hope you will enjoy reading

it. Happy Retirement!

Dr. Sharon Chen Won Sun

Head of the Biostatistics Unit

Retirement may not be what it seems.

Even though it means, “To tire again,”

To most of us it is the stuff of dreams,

Infinite afternoons of restful Zen.

Reality, like dreams, cannot transcend

Elopement into some quite other state.

Mirage or monument, all things depend

Eventually on memory for their fate.

Now may your memories of us be fair,

That we may in your re-creation share

“ A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could”.

Dear Dato’,Words cannot express the admiration I

have for you. You are so dedicated, so caring, so humble, a wonderful teacher and leader. I have not only enjoyed working for you but you have made my work not a chore but a joy. It has been a real privilege to have been given this opportunity to work for you and I shall treasure this experience.

I wish you Health and Happiness always.

Dato’ Zaki, you are a truly great man.

From Saro

“I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I don't mean

by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling

that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something

divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly

merciful.” John Ruskin

“Happy Birthday!”From the ICT Unit

From theNational Renal Registry (NRR)

Disease register is wealth of health information. If the data collected are truth and accurate, it could be a good tool for quality improvement. NRR being the first disease register in the country. The success and useful information in the Malaysian Dialysis and Transplant Registry (MDTR) reports has given rise to many other disease registers in Malaysia.

The road goes ever on and onDown from the door where it beganNow far ahead the road has gone,And I must follow, if I can,Pursuing it with eager feet,Until it joins some larger wayWhere many paths and errands meet,The And wither then? I cannot say.

Dear Dato’ Zaki,

I first met you as a patient at your clinic having been diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. You later became my boss when I started working at CRC.

I find you to be a very nice boss, very approachable for someone so high up in the hierarchy. There is less protocol with you as you take the trouble to bring yourself to our level.

Of course we will miss being under your umbrella. It has been a great pleasure working with you. May you prosper in your future endeavours.

Hazrah Arip,

Head of MIM Unit

Dear Dato’ Zaki,

Even though we both come from the same kampong in Kulim, Kedah I remember the first time I met you was at a meeting more than ten years ago. Later on I found that you became my boss here in CRC.

You have been a very nice boss, very friendly and very helpful, I thank you very much for your cooperation and for helping out whenever I asked for help

I hope that you will enjoy your retirement

Saya kenal Dato’ Zaki dah lama, sejak tahun 1977 semasa Dato’bertugas sebagai MO di Wad 21. Masa tu saya juga bertugas di situ.

Dato’ memang baik dan peramah, tak pernahberubah sampai sekarang. Kalau jumpa di mana-mana pasti bertegur-sapa walaupun dah bergelarDato’.

Susah nak cari orang saperti Dato’ dan tingkahlaku ini patut di contohi ramai kerana Dato’ tidakpernah menyombong diri.

Bila Dato’ dah pencen ni kami terasa kehilanganyang agak besar. Harap Dato’ janganlah lupakan kami staff-staff hospital di sini walau di manapun Dato’ pergi selepas ini.

Assalamualaikum Dato’ Zaki,Saya bekerja dengan Dato’ sejak tahun

1989. Masa tu saya tak berapa minat dengannephro sebab banyak patient yang terminal tukita kena buat LO. Lama kelamaan saya pun tertarik hati juga mungkin sebab Boss diaseorang yang dedicated, tegas tapi lembut.

At the same time kadang-kadang diakelakar juga. Saya masih teringat semasaDato’ beri talk pasal needling. Masa tu Dato’buat joke pasal how excellent staff HDU buatpricking dan tunjuk macam mana gayamereka buat tanpa pandang tempat cucukpun.

Saya boleh ingat sampai sekarang macammana Dato’ punya reaksi. Walaupun Dato’tegas, tapi masih fatherly juga to the staff danparamedics di IUN.

Akhir sekali saya nak ucapkan terimakasih pada Dato’ kerana penyokong sayasemasa saya mengalami beberapa masalahdulu.

Dear Dato’ Zaki,

Dear Dato’ Zaki,I remember working closely with

you during the time you served in the capacity of Acting Director of HKL. Even in that short time your leadership capabilities shone through. I could see that you took the job seriously and you made a lot of initiatives that was helpful for the hospital. When I worked with you in a project for CRC, I found you to be transparent and fair in your judgments.

As a person, you are very easy to get along with, very approachable, always available and willing to give your sincere opinion. You have a great personality and I will always have good thoughts about you. I especially like your charming smile.

Dato’ Zaki, I wish you all the best in your retirement and in your plans for the future. May you have more reasons to smile!

Dato’ Zaki is a true gentlemen. He has so many special qualities that it is difficult to mention them all, so I’ll just mention two:

1. He has extremely high principles, particularly when it comes to integrity and fair play. This is perhaps one of the reasons he is so highly admired and respected.

2. Despite being a Dato’ and such a distinguished figure in medical circles, he is always approachable and strikes up conversations just as easily with a hospital attendant as he would with some VIP.

Thank you Dato’ for your guidance and leadership all these years. We will try to lIve up to your example.

I joined the MNS. I am grateful you made time to help me no matter how busy you were.

Your helping hand made it easier for me to carry out my duties, especially in getting members to take part in our activities.

I wish you all the best on your retirement. As you will still be MNS adviser, I will still call you. Definitely!

Semasa pemindahan ginjal pertama saya pada 1991 gagal, saya rasa begitukecewa. Dato’ banyak memberi keyakinan untuk meneruskan hidup sehinggaselamat menjalani pemindahan ginjal kali kedua pada 1999 yang berjaya. Alhamdullilah!

Dulu saya bertugas di perpustakaan NIH dan Dato’ selalu minta tolonguntuk carikan artikel untuk rujukan penyelidikkan. Oleh kerana saya tahumatlamat Dato’ memang untuk kebaikan semua, saya usahakan juga sehinggadapat.

Saya berhenti kerja disebabkan menjalani rawatan, Dato’ berusaha jugauntuk dapatkan saya kerja sambilan sebagai kerani data entry di National Renal Registry. Sekarang saya bertugas di Postgraduate Renal Society. Kalauboleh saya nak ikut Dato’ bekerja di IMU.

Dato’ pernah memarahi saya sebab terlalu takut nak hidup saperti normal. Itu suatu kemarahan yang membina. Sekarang saya dapat membantu patient lain dengan berkongsi pengalaman saya. Saya nak berbakti macam Dato’.
