As the year draws gently to a definite closure, it offers organisations a meaningful moment for reflection, an opportunity to review strategies and performance in pursuit of the best possible outcomes. Equally important is the recognition of individuals whose unwavering commitment and professionalism have been instrumental in shaping success throughout the year.

Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC ) proudly hosts the Staff Excellence Awards (SEA) 2025 in December, a distinguished occasion dedicated to honouring outstanding staff members whose contributions continue to advance the hospital's vision and mission.

Rahman, IIUM Kuantan Campus Director, Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohamed Saufi Awang, SASMEC Hospital Director, the Hospital Management Committee, the top management of the hospital, heads of departments, clinical coordinators, senior officers, celebrated retirees and staff.

The ceremony features an inspiring address by the Hospital Director, engaging performances, thrilling lucky draws and the presentation of awards across various categories, including Best Strategic Planning Project, Creativity & Innovation, Community Engagement, Integrity, Outstanding Customer Service Excellence, Sports Excellence, Best Staff, and the highly esteemed Hospital Director’s Award.

"Since 2019, SEA has been our platform to recognise dedication, teamwork and excellence. This year's theme, "Meriah Sekampung: Menggamit Memori, Menyanjung Bakti" reminds us of our humble beginnings in 2016. Small team, limited scope, but big hopes. After almost a decade, we have grown tremendously. Yet, we remain grounded. We remember where we started, we honour those who built this journey and we keep moving forward. Stronger and definitely better", he said in his speech.

The event also became a moment of graceful farewell for Prof. Dr. Zamzuri Zakaria@Mohamad, Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohd Basri Mat Nor and Assoc.

By following simple preventive steps, individuals and families can significantly reduce the risk of food and waterborne diseases. If you develop any of these symptoms, please seek treatment promptly at the nearest clinic or healthcare facility. Stay well and safe wherever you are.

No Sugar Tuesday is here again, reminding us of the importance of reducing sugar intake for better health. Today, we would like to share how to make smarter choices when selecting food and beverage products by understanding sugar labels.

1) Low sugar products contain a small amount of sugar, but sugar is still present.

2) Sugar-free products contain almost no sugar, with less than 0.5 g per 100 g or 100 ml.

3) No added sugar means no sugar has been added during processing; however, the product may still contain naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit juices.

Choose wisely based on your health goals and needs. This message is brought to you by Public Health Unit, Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre .

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of the devastating floods in Pahang which took place after a nationwide breaking weather forecast announcement. It's heartbreaking to witness the aftermath of such a heavy downpour, which has tragically impacted so many lives and homes.

It is with high hopes that brighter days and recovery come swiftly to the state and affected regions. May Allah SWT lessen the burden and in return, reward hikmah through this catastrophe, for after every hardship is ease indeed.
