Blessing with Resposibility

Good news which I have never expected. May be it is a blessing in someway which I am really need it at this point onward until finishing my PhD study. 

I received an email from my Dean Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya. The email not just only for me though but to about 51 of use whom had qualified for promotion. I thought when I had received this email early last week I might not in it even though from the back of my mind I was hoping for it. So I didn't read the email. Then my colleague, Shariff asked me have I read the email? Which of course I didn't. He asked me to read the email and so I did on Saturday. 

As I read the email detail I was hoping I will get it which I was included in the promotion exercise. I knew the exercise promotion had begun in the Ministry of Health for all specialist in March 2010 which all the specialist will be promoted to an upper scale because they what to prevent the specialist from leaving the Ministry of Health to private hospital. As we are also in government sector we the clinical academician automatically included with this promotion exercise. The University only just implemented it this month. The promotion scale for the specialist who work in Ministry of Health Hospital is  U54  which is equivalent to DU54 as we are the Clinical Academician in the University and which is also equivalent to AP post (Associate Professor).  Basically I was so happy with the promotion which will help me a little bit for me. Not much thinking of the AP post because I think the exercise is only meant for upgrading the paying scale and because I still need to attend a special course required to get promotion as an AP and also I need to have 1 ISI publication at least which I will at minimum of 2  I hope before I will submit my thesis next year in March.    

Alhamdulillah it is a blessing as from this month onwards I will not receiving any monthly elauns from my scholarship until I finish my study but I will still received my monthly full salary payment . The extra bit of increment will help me to survive here in Melbourne. A Blessing but I will take with full responsibility.

Shukran, Alhamdulillah. Thanks to Allah ALmighty, gave me blessing and the need at this crucial time.
