.....The Lord has magnificently blessed me according to his word for I have been given the --------- Young Scientist Award For 1999. I am one of the 4 recipients. The award ceremony took place on Feb 16, 2000 and it was given by the Deputy Prime Minister. I have worked in this Institute for Medical Research for 11 years as a daily paid worker and I was never offered the permanent post, though many have been accepted as permanent workers. But I know and I know and I know that it is the Lord’s will I remain as temporary. My salary is very little compared to the permanent staff and I am not entitled even to the most basic benefits such as taking hols at work and I don’t get an yearly increment. But, Praise God , I have never been in debt, He has blessed with more than enough. He has always brought sponsors to take me overseas for scientific work and conferences , where I could pray and pray in these countries. He has blessed my research with good solid findings and has enabled me to publish papers and obtain recognition locally and internationally. I have been nominated for this award a number of times in the last few years. Every time my name was thrown out because of 2 panelists ( Prof. M and Prof. Y) who have always been against me. I have never worked with Prof. M and Prof. Y and they come from different institutes and I just do not why they are against me. Anyway, for the last 2 years the Lord has given me Ps 7 and said He will justify me publicly. >From end of 1998 Prof. Y has been ‘campaigning’ against me , telling others to pass on this message that I should not apply for this award this year. I prayed and the Lord told me to submit the forms again in 1999 , but I was trying to tell the Lord " Lord, I just do not want to be humiliated again by not receiving this award". It was made more difficult as there was another Muslim colleague of mine, Nazni, from the same division who was also nominated . I did not want to ask the Lord for this award as I was not too sure of His will in this matter, I did not want to ask or beg for something which He does not want to give. I do not want to keep asking and then He gives it to me not as a friend. There were 21 nominees from all over Malaysia and all the panelists have chosen me except for Prof. M and Prof. Y. For the first time my institute representative advocated why I should be given the award. It was approved and the judges met on the last Friday of November '99 and endorsed the recipient list (I did not know that the judges were meeting on that Friday. On that particular Friday morning during quiet time the Lord was leading me to confess Is 54 : 17 ‘ No weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper and I shall confute every tongue that rises against me in judgment as this is my heritage’). Myself and Nazni received the awards together with 2 other persons. Praise God for justifying me publicly and glorifying His Name by blessing me with this award. I wanted to validate this testimony by sending the publication of the award ceremony in the newspaper , but unfortunately they did not have that related page over the internet. On 24 Feb i was blessed with another award, i.e. the ---------- Society of Parasitology and Tropical Medicine silver medal, (MSPTM 1999), which is given to scientists below 45 years of age and who has made contributions to the field of Tropical Medicine. For both the award presentation ceremonies as they were reading my citations ,i was on the stage and I blessed the people on the floor to come to the knowledge of the Lord......Anon.
