Bhutanese PM: Be a good human being to be a good doctor
Tshering was emotional recalling his life as a student at MMCH
Bhutanese Prime Minister, Dr Lotay Tshering, who was a student of Mymensingh Medical College, says one has to be a good human being to be a good doctor.
"I have entered politics without discarding my uniform. I thought about the people of Bhutan and worked for them from 2013 to 2018 without doing any job and going abroad. Today, I am the prime minister of that country," he said on Sunday, reports UNB.
The Bhutanese prime minister was addressing a special reception accorded to him by Mymensingh Medical College at its auditorium.
Going down memory lane, Tshering said he and his classmates, and current Bhutanese Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr Tandi Dorji, were in room No-20 of Baghmara College Hostel in the district town from 1991 to 1999. "We are now doing politics together. There has been no rift between us during this long period of time. Today, I am the prime minister because of him. He made me the prime minister."
