While reading some online articles, I came across a person named Wu Lien Teh. What a life!

Even though I am okay learning about courageous ‘parang’ waving heroes, who stood up to the white colonizers; the story of the likely inventor of the predecessor of face mask N95, should not be silenced. Dr. Wu Lien Teh should be in our history books, so that Malaysian students may learn and be inspired by his life and work.
