We would also like to take this opportunity to wish them all the very best in their future endeavours and we look forward to their continued support of our cause.
Dr Chong Yeh Woei is no newcomer to the SMA community. He has been an SMA Council Member since 1998 and was SMA President from 2009 to 2012. Dr Chong is currently the Chair of the Membership Committee in SMA. Aside from that, he is also Chairman of the Ministry of Health Medical Advisory Panel on Driving and Chairman of the Confederation of Medical Associations of Asia and the Oceania – of which the SMA is a member. He represents the SMA on the SMC-CME Coordinating Committee and is a member of the SMA-IDA Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (Indonesian Medical Association) Joint Committee (MOU on Publicity Guidelines and Code of Ethics on Hospital Promotion).
The second new member is Ms Koh Lin-Net, who is currently Chief Executive of Temasek Foundation Innovates and Temasek Foundation Nurtures. Ms Koh has more than 20 years’ experience in the Singapore Civil Service; as a member of the administrative service, she has held a wide range of positions including that of Deputy Secretary in various ministries, as well as Chief Executive of the Media Development Authority.
The third and final new Board Member is Dr Roland Xu, a past recipient of the SMA Medical Students’ Assistance Fund and a current medical officer serving in our public healthcare institutions. Dr Xu hopes that his appointment to the Board will be the catalyst to help rally past bursary recipients in support of SMACF’s cause.
