Day 4-holiday

Day 5 (1/8/08)

As normal we reached the office at 8am and we scheduled to have briefing about the non-communicable disease and also the about the enforcement unit.

The officer, Mr.Zuraidi greet us with warm welcome to the meeting with him. He is responsible for two units and he is the only PPKP for that two units which comes under the PPKPK, Mr.Ali.

The two unit that under him is non-communicable disease unit and also enforcement unit. First of all, he started with the details of enforcement unit which responsible in charging those people who caught for health related offense.

He explained to us the flow of the process involved from the point of someone is get caught until the point his/her case goes to the court. He used the example of smoking in area which labeled as non-smoking area.

Unfortunately we can't join him on the enforcement activity even we're just 4 in number because he wanted to avoid the consequences that we will be facing if someone is get caught. We are quite disappointed for not able to join him on his activity.

Before leaving, he briefly told us about the non-communicable diseases and will be telling us in detail next week.

That's all for week 1 of DHO posting...
