A Kind Note from Dato Dr Ong Eng Leong PhD (London)

 

Here’s an encouraging note in pink I just received from Dato Dr Ong Eng Leong PhD, an expert in rubber chemistry from the University of London

I know you are extremely good in organic chemistry especially in natural products, but you are also equally good in Physics and mathematics. You are very amazing. 

After your retirement from IMR, if you were to be engaged in a university in Malaysia continuing research in traditional medicine, for example, I am sure you stand a chance to bring glory and the highest recognition to Malaysia for your research achievements. I hope you will continue to write and contribute, although you said you did not receive much acknowledgement. I am sure many are like me who do not express their admiration but deep in their hearts, they really respect and recognise your wisdom. Keep up the good work.

Here is my reply in blue:

Thank you very much Professor Dato Ong Eng Leong for your kind words and encouragement. It means a lot to me. I am putting your kind words into my blog and also my reply here.

I have also just received the same note of acknowledgement and encouragement from a certain doctor called Dr Koy or something like that (need to check his name again) in my blog comment column

I try as best as I could to write on all subjects to cater for all types of people, especially for students. But I can make mistakes as I am not an expert in all fields of studies although I do have a wide range of qualifications  across 5 universities that took me over 15 years at the cost of over RM 2 million – two from British Scholarships

So now I have nothing else to do after retirement but to give back, else I would waste all the knowledge kindly given to me by my highly qualified and learned British professors and mentors. Now I need to give them to young students who are still learning. 

Actually, I am not very good in organic chemistry because it is very difficult to remember their compounds with very long and complicated names, and their chains of reactions, whether from straight chain or benzene ring compounds, and there are millions of these compounds acting and reacting in sorts of pathways, making them very hard to remember. In organic chemistry itself, we have to deal with aliphatic compounds that do not contain any carbon-carbon double or triple bonds. They can be linear, branched or cyclic compounds. Then there are also those aromatic compounds with cyclic molecules that contain alternating single and double bonds. We need a computer brain to store all these millions of types of molecules and all their different types of reactions acting in different directions under different conditions

I do have a chemistry degree, besides other degrees up to postdoctoral level at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, but chemistry is so wide - medical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, stereochemistry, and polymer chemistry (like your rubber chemistry). Then we also have organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, geochemistry, forensic chemistry and food chemistry. Analytical chemistry is easier for me (I have an MSc degree in this). Maybe physical chemistry is also okay with me due to my strong mathematical background 

Molecular biology can be challenging as it combines biological and organic chemistry and biochemistry at molecular and DNA levels with so many cellular signalling pathways to remember and understand.  But I can manage if I take my time to sort them all out. The beauty in molecular biology is, it enables us to understand molecular processes to efficiently target new drugs, diagnose disease, and better understand cell physiology. Some clinical research and medical therapies arising from molecular biology are covered under gene therapy, whereas the use of molecular biology or molecular cell biology in medicine is now referred to as molecular medicine which is more of my liking

Into the World of Molecular Medicine. What's That?

But I think my interests is in other worlds in this horrendously vast universe some 96 billion light years across harbouring an estimated 100 trillion, trillion (1 followed by 26 zeros) other worlds – far, far more, a thousand billion times more  than all the sands of this world – alien worlds where we have very little idea what exist there, maybe souls of the dead or other aliens and spiritual beings tens of thousands of light years more advanced than us.  I have written quite a bit about their possible existence in my blog. You can check them up in this blog.

I have always wondered how Jesus was able to create all those miracles including raising up dead people who were already dead days ago by using just His loud voice. 

Jesus’ ability to heal instantly without using any diagnostic investigations like we do, such as asking for all kinds of laboratory, blood, urine, immunological, microbiological tests, imaging (such as x-rays, mammography and CT and MRI and PET scan, nucleotide tests), endoscopy (such as colonoscopy and bronchoscopy), biopsy and histopathological examination (HPE), etc, etc to be done.

Jesus did not use one dust of all these tests or ask for any medical history to be taken or need to write and clerk out all those tons of clinical notes or medical history before a diagnosis can be confirmed.  Jesus’ system of medicine over 2,000 years ago is the type of healing medicine I am interested, not scientific, allopathic or traditional medicine

Jesus’s system of medicine was from another world - tens of thousands of light years more advanced than our earthly system of medicine where we use petrol and petroleum chemicals – we call them as "medicines" to “cure”

Unfortunately, all these petroleum medicines have not cured most of the modern-day lifestyle diseases. Instead, those patients taking those chemicals made from petrol were asked to come back every 3 months for more of the same chemicals (medicines) as "follow up".  This is very disgruntling to us till the patient dies of the disease or due to accumulative drug poisoning. See some of the articles on drugs, medicines and on pharmacology I have written here:

Scientific Logic: All On Drugs. How Do They Work? Are They Safe? 

Hippocrates advocated 2,500 years ago to use food as medicine, but that mad rocky fellow (Rockefeller) asks doctors to use his petroleum chemical products as “medicine” Mad chap!

“Let food be thy medicine” (Hippocrates)

“Let medicine (petrol chemicals) be thy daily food” (modern day doctors) – mad chaps all of them including doctors and pharmacists  

I am always fascinated at two events about Jesus here:

I can go on writing on writing about all these nonstop for days and days but need to stop as it is now nearly 5:30 am in the eerie hours of the morning, and have not slept all night round the clock

Thank you, warmest regards and a very early blessed morning to you
