Speaking the truth with impartial scientific knowledge, and advocating justice for the silentWords and actions can mean a thousand things in any mortality case, but only the body can provide the truth to decipher the cause of death. Dr Rohayu, a forensic pathologist, knows she has a duty to the dead and lives by the statement, ' a dead body never lies' . She has taken the unsaid oath to be the voice of and safeguard the ones who are not able to tell their story. With Malaysia' s diverse melting pot of race, culture, and religion, Dr Rohayu has been through a plethora of extraordinary scenarios. Despite the social stigmas and taboos that come into play, Dr Rohayu is committed to seek justice and provide closure. A food enthusiast with an infectious bubbly demeanor, Dr Rohayu never fails to bring a little flare into her field of work. With the help of her co-author Fatin, they have transformed her work into a compelling piece of art for the world to see and understand. No doubt in Dr Rohayu and Fatin' s mind, every single person deserves to be heard, the right to love, and freedom to be their true self. With a combination of science and empathy, they have created a unique piece of writing. Step into Dr Rohayu' s shoes as she brings you through these ten cases, which she believes will serve as a beacon of hope to the people who feel their voices are not worthy enough to be heard.
"This book will provide you not only with an abundance of knowledge on the workings of the human body, but also in the workings of compassion, empathy, and the beauty of being human. Although the cases discuss about death and dying, the two authors strive to guide us to live better lives. Detailed, informative, and with a touch of humor, you will gain in more ways than you can count. " Monique Ngo, Marriage and family therapist associate and mental health counselor associate "As the author declares, forensic pathologists care for the dead by determining and telling the truth about how they died. That truth can be uncomfortable, even damning, and can cut against societal prejudices and taboos. But as Dr. Rohayu and her co-author Fatin show, the stories offered by dead bodies can also be vehicles for honesty, empathy and love. " John Capouya, Author of three non-fiction books, retired professor of writing and journalism, The University of Tampa, former staff of Newsweek, The New York Times, New York Newsday, and SmartMoney magazine "They are very interesting stories to read. The way it is written is quite dramatic, and I love it. Can' t stop reading it. " Dr. Khairul Adli Nikman, Forensic Scientist & Chemist, Sungai Buloh Hospital "Realistic as well as unique writing. The stories capture your heart and mind. Not letting a second to put them down!" Dr. Nur Atiqah Binti Azman Roslan, Forensic Medicine Registrar, Sungai Buloh Hospital "A brilliant masterpiece, ingenious and original. Engaging true story that makes you realize the nature of life and death. Every body leaves a trace!" Dr. Nurquin Fasya Binti Shahrir, Forensic Medicine Registrar, Sungai Buloh Hospital "A thrilling but highly informative read which offers an insight into the acroamatic world and daily life of a forensic pathologist. " Joshua Tay H' ng Foong, AmerBON Advocates
