Obesity is driving heart disease in Singapore. With stigma and policy lagging behind, can new treatments like GLP-1 and policies close this dangerous gap?

East meets West 🌏🤝🌍

Honoured to wear both lapel pins today – the Society for Vascular & Endovascular Surgeons of Singapore (SVESS) and the European Board of Vascular Surgery (EBVS).

They represent more than societies: they symbolise collaboration across continents, raising global standards, and ensuring patients benefit from the very best vascular surgery can offer.

Bridging East and West isn’t just geography – it’s about shared knowledge, rigorous training, and a commitment to excellence for every patient, everywhere.

An old dog trying to learn new tricks. Earlier this year, on the 18th of July 2025, White House Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt, announced to the world that President Donald Trump had chronic venous insufficiency. I react to the press briefing, decode the medical jargon, and give my take on the diagnosis. Please comment, like and subscribe!

What a privilege to be able to host a very special vascular surgeon from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, Dr Michael Robinson, here for work, on a very big boat 😜 Thank you for all you do 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

It was so lovely to catch up and talk about the developments in vascular surgery in London, hear about how and are doing during their time in London, and reminisce about our respective times as trainees.

I very much look forward to our next meeting!!!

What a truly wonderful opportunity afforded to our darling daughter, by Alliance Française de Singapour to perform a poetry recital alongside her class, for the very chic First Lady of France and wife of Emmanuel Macron Madame Brigitte Macron. She was exceptionally engaging, charming and even took the time to speak to the darling wifey and I who honestly, were just there to ‘tumpang glamour’ 🤣 I apologise for my extreme butchery of the French language when put on the spot by her!!! 🤦‍♂️ (Although honestly, i’m not sure I would have been any better even if I had time to prepare 😳).

CNY is all about family, friends and reunions. These are some of our best friends, friendships forged almost 30 years ago now, in med school and uni. At this stage of our lives, not out of choice, we hardly see each other, but when we do, it’s just like old times. ❤️❤️❤️ Big CNY love to all.
