During the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020, dentist Dr. Chong Yun who works at a government dental clinic volunteered as a frontliner. She was later assigned to carry out her duty at a centre where a large number of Malaysians who had returned from abroad, were instructed to be quarantined.

She treated every person with care and warm concern. However, she struggled when she had to tell a patient that he was infected with Covid-19. As a dentist, she never imagined she would come face to face with situations like this. How fleeting life can be. She realised she must become stronger, appreciate what we have right here and now and to do our best to make every day count.

SGI President Ikeda says, “An awareness and understanding of death raises our state of life. When we are cognizant of the reality and inevitability of death we begin to seek the eternal, and become determined to make the most valuable use of each moment of life.” Dr. Chong Yun continues to pray for all the patients and determine to do her best in treating and treasuring every life.
