Dr Anthonysamy Savarinathan tending to a young patient in an Orang Asli village in Gombak in 2015. — Santhanadass Savarinathan
The Covid pandemic has forced us to face situations and emotions none of us were prepared for.
Dr Anthonysamy Savarinathan was my brother-in-law. He was my sister Sunthari’s husband's elder brother. A good man, he was widely respected and loved in the community, among his friends and patients, for his gentle and polite mannerisms, caring ways and many acts of charity. He had a ready smile for everyone and many a patient who could not afford his fees was treated for free. He also provided free service to the Myanmarese Chin community and other migrant communities.
