Sakura@Kenyalang : Perang Melawan Mitos

Perang Melawan Mitos

oleh : Fatin Shahirah bt Amanzuria

23 Mac 2018 – "Kita adalah musuh pada perkara yang kita tak tahu". Bersempena festival Sakura@Kenyalang, pihak jawatankuasa kolej Sakura tidak melepaskan peluang menganjurkan ceramah kesihatan. Ceramah yang bertajuk ‘Perang Melawan Mitos’ telah disampaikan oleh penceramah jemputan iaitu Dr Khairul Hafidz Alkhair bin Khairul Amin, Penolong Pengarah Kanan, Cawangan Penyakit Tidak Berjangkit merangkap pengasas dan pengerusi Persatuan Tweet Perubatan Malaysia (Medical Tweet Malaysia medtweetmy)

Dalam ceramah tersebut, Dr. Hafizd merungkai penerangan di sebalik setiap pertanyaan seperti adakan mandi malam menyebabkan paru-paru berair? Adakah betul tindakan meletakkan ubat gigi di kulit yang melecur? Deodoran penyebab kanser? Makan cili akan sebabkan keradangan apendiks? Adakah herd immunity setelah divaksinkan kanak-kanak itu agenda Yahudi? Betulkah apabila terkena angin ahmar (stroke) maka kita perlu titiskan darah di jari mangsa?

Banyak pertanyaan kesihatan itu berkisarkan kepada kepercayaan lama yang turun dari zaman berzaman. Sebelum ini rakyat Malaysia dan orang Melayu khasnya memang menurut kepercayaan lama dan pantang larang yang tidak diketahui siapa yang memulainya.

Katanya lagi, ia merupakan langkah awal untuk melahirkan rakyat yang sihat dan cergas sekali gus menepis panduan yang tidak tepat, salah atau sekadar mitos oleh mereka yang bukan pakar yang menimbulkan stigma, komplikasi penyakit bahkan menyebabkan kematian.

Kini persoalan-persoalan tersebut akan terjawab apabila kumpulan doktor-doktor yang aktif memberikan informasi kesihatan di Twitter dengan #MedTweetMy menghasilkan buku bertajuk Perang Melawan Mitos (PMM). Jelasnya, buku itu ditulis supaya rakyat faham ada kepercayaan lama nenek moyang kita ini yang tiada asas dan kadangkala boleh menyebabkan natijah yang kurang baik kepada pesakit.

Antara 36 penulis yang menghasilkan 62 artikel di dalam buku itu ialah Dr Khairul Hafidz Alkhair, Dr Anwar Fazal Abu Bakar, Dr Beni Rusani, Dr Rafidah Abdullah, Dr Kamarul Ariffin Nor Sadan, Dr Mahyuddin Mohamed, Suhazeli Abdullah dan Jazlina Shahrul. Marilah kita runtukan tembok kebebalan dengan ilmu.

Almost 140 participants joined the fun and most of them were laughing as they struggled to follow the barricade tapes along the way. Participants were helped by the committee team to finish the walk. Many described the experience as something new and fresh, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that it should be a yearly event. Every participant went home with a medal and a certificate.

 

Before going back, participants were served with a refreshing beverage, Milo and a scrumptious and nutritious cereal cup sponsored by the event. A huge congratulations to everyone who made the event a success.
