UFS111 - 2nd Reflection

Choose 1(one) explorer (eg.: Niel Armstrong). Do a bit of research about them and write your opinion about this person in about 200 words.

     Datuk Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, is an explorer or known as astronaut that I respect and admire. He is a first Malaysian going to space. Before that, he is working as Orthopedic Surgeon  at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.Sheikh Muszaphar performed experiments on board the International Space Station relating to the characteristics and growth of liver cancer and leukemia cells, the crystallisation of various proteins and microbes in space. The experiments relating to liver cancer, leukemia cells and microbes will benefit general science and medical research, while the experiments relating to the crystallisation of proteins, lipases in this case, will directly benefit local industries. Being a Muslim, and since his time in space coincided with the last part of Ramadan, the Islamic National Fatwa Council drew up the first comprehensive guidebook for Muslims in space.

      In my opinion, Datuk Sheikh muszaphar Shukor is an Malaysian idol. He has brought honor to our Malaysia. In the space, Datuk Sheikh Muszaphar do some research at the space. And its research do with the luck. I am so proud because I have an idol which brief and take knowledge from space to Malaysia. He is not stingy and he is sharing his knowledge to all Malaysian such motivation, school trips and set up a book. In conclusion, as Malaysian people we must to honor our country.
