Financial loss keeps Sri Muda’s darling doctor up at night, but public love keeps her going

SHAH ALAM – For Dr Shalini Devi Ramachandran whose Taman Sri Muda clinic was devastated following the recent tragic floods here, quitting was never an option. 

What kept her motivated even more to continue serving her patients were the outpouring of love and support by the public since the disaster wreaked havoc in major parts of the country last December.

Speaking to The Vibes, Dr Shalini, who owns and runs the Aranda Clinic together with her husband Dr Yuveneswara Murti, shared her struggle in getting back up on her feet and her aspiration to keep Taman Sri Muda “shining”.

“The (painful) feeling of financial loss is still there, and it is indescribable. But more than that, I'm still feeling so much love from the general public,” she said.

Following the December floods that cost her an estimated loss of RM850,000, Dr Shalini and her husband had been operating a temporary medical camp in front of her clinic for close to a month, offering free service to victims.

In the middle of last month, the couple finally decided to reopen their clinic, although renovation works and the purchasing of medication, instruments and equipment are still ongoing due to high costs.
