I shall be celebrating Dr Wu Lien-Teh's 142nd birthday this afternoon on the grounds of the Penang Institute in Brown Road, George Town, where a bust of this real Malaysian hero stands.
And for good measure, Wu Lien-Teh is featured today on Google Doodle. Anyone visiting the Google homepage will be greeted with this image:
In celebration of his birthday, The Star newspaper wrote this about Wu Lien-Teh:
PETALING JAYA: Google on Wednesday (March 10) paid tribute to Chinese-Malaysian epidemiologist Dr Wu Lien-Teh, who created a surgical face covering widely believed to be the precursor of today's N95 mask. To celebrate his achievements, Google dedicated its Doodle to Dr Wu on the doctor's 142nd birthday.
