KUALA LUMPUR: The gratitude of earthquake survivors in Turkiye is fresh in the mind of Lt-Gen Datuk Dr Zulkeffeli Mat Jusoh, as fresh as the taste of a roadside kebab, after the Op Starlight mission to build a field hospital in that country.

He said upon learning that the team was from Malaysia, the vendor refused to accept a single lira despite the utter devastation and uncertainty in the aftermath of the Feb 6 earthquake which had claimed thousands of lives."They would say ‘thank you’ in any way possible. They welcomed our presence.

He said they came to the field hospital to personally express their appreciation to the Malaysian team."When we touched down at Istanbul airport and were about to pray, an elderly gentleman prayed in profuse supplication for our team so that our aid mission would face no obstructions. There were also umrah pilgrims just landed from Makkah who gave us bread, MasyaAllah,” he said.
