Dr. Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan---> my idol

She is a Thai forensic pathologist, author & human right activist.

I made her as my idol since becoming a forensic pathologist is my dream that i think it will never being achieved.

BUT, maybe I'll study for it in another day after i have completed my service with the ministry of education.

She is is Deputy Director of Thailand’s Justice Ministry’s Central Institute for Forensic Science. She is known for her fearless commentary against corruption and her work as leader of the team to identify victims of the 2004 tsunami.


She is given the nick name, Dr Death.

Besides, she has been honored by the king of Thailand with the title Khunying, which equivalent to the British honorific Dame. this has made me really admire her.....

The police despise her. She has been threatened, insulted, bullied, ridiculed, sued and hauled to court countless times. Many Thai's countrymen and even I revere her bcoz even her life is threatened but, she still believe that justice for the dead is part of human rights. She keep on doing her job by finding out the most influential evidence for the dead one.

For your information, she is far from an ordinary physician as shown by her trademark punk look of spiky hair.

In the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake,
she took charge of the effort to identify victims of the tsunami.
She and her team were widely praised for their hard work and dedication.


Whereas, in June 2009, she was one of the pathologists investigating the death of actor David Carradine.

Recently, she was the 3oth witness of Teoh Beng Hock's murder case. Her work is so well-known that she has even been invited to testify at the Teoh Beng Hock inquest.

And she concluded that he had an 80% probability of being murdered.

I really hope that she can actually break this mysterious case as this is also many Malaysians' wish.
