Secret Trip,M'sian Nurse

The late Professor Stephen Hawking was known not only for his enormous contribution to the world of physics but also his influence on how people perceive the

wonders of the universe.

Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad also had the luxury of personally welcoming the brilliant physicist and even conversed with him.But, what the public did not know back then was a “secret visit” that Hawking had planned for during his stay in Malaysia. According to a Facebook post by Ipoh Echo’s Foodie Guide, the physicist had a strict diet plan, but he did try an all-time Malaysian favourite fruit – durian!!

The year marked Stephen Hawking’s first and last visit to our country. He suffered from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , or commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in the U.S. The disease rendered him completely paralysed and he had to rely on a speech-generating device in order for him to speak.
