This Eid al-Adha, we reflect on a beautiful tradition that may be unfamiliar to many—the gathering of worshippers in open fields to perform prayers together. Without walls or distinctions, individuals from all walks of life stand side by side, united in humility and reverence.

This powerful image mirrors a Christian truth: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile... for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). It reminds us that whether Muslim or Christian—we are called to unity, compassion, and love that transcends status, background, or circumstance.

At Sozo, we dedicate ourselves to our patients and this shared spirit of connection deeply inspires us. To all our Muslim friends—may this sacred season bring you peace, healing, and joy—body, mind, and soul.

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri!

Today, Vesak day is celebrated by 500 million Buddhists all over the world—to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. In this day of joy and remembrance, countries like Sri Lanka celebrate with making elaborate lanterns, often with scenes of Buddha’s life to remember the light of Buddha’s wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance.

In Sri Lanka, the shapes and colours of Vesak lanterns are also symbolic, with the square-shaped open spaces at the top and bottom of the lanterns representing the entry to life (birth) and exit from life (death). The frills of the lantern, with their curves and bends, symbolize the joys and travails of life, embracing it all as one and the same.

Much like ketupat making over Hari Raya amongst our Malay friends, lantern making in Sri Lanka is also a beautifully vibrant, family oriented tradition that brings loved ones together.

For all our Buddhist friends, may the light of the Buddha’s wisdom illuminate your path to greater peace, compassion, and enlightenment. Blessed Vesak Day!

🇸🇬 Happy Labour Day, Singapore! 👷‍♀️👨‍🏭🧑‍🍳

Today, we pause to honour every worker whose effort builds, sustains, and moves our nation forward. But have you ever stopped to think about the word labour itself?

The word labour comes from the Latin “labor”, meaning toil, exertion, or hardship. It's a reminder that behind every polished service, every clean MRT station, every plate of chicken rice, and every new skyscraper in our skyline—there's effort. Real, human effort.

In Singapore, where hard work and resilience define our story, labour is more than just a word. It’s the hands that built HDB blocks, the minds behind innovation in tech and education, and the hearts that keep our healthcare, transport, and homes running strong every day.

So this Labour Day, let’s take a moment to say thank you—to all our workers on this land, who wake early, stay late, and give their best, day after day. May we never take this labour of love for granted.

On Resurrection Sunday, we remember the greatest act of love known to Mankind — the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after he died on the cross. He was mocked, tortured and crucified, and yet God firmly willed that Man’s evil would pave the path to complete redemption for us all.

This inverse hand of justice—repaying evil with pure love—is the beauty and nature of God’s heart towards us. It is rich grace, illogical grace, a truly undeserving grace that wildly embraces us.

And that is why we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. This very grace has given us death-to-life living power, here on earth. Because of our Risen Saviour, even in situations that we think are dead and gone, in God’s economy, it is still never too late. It is never too late for a fresh start, for healing, to be resurrected completely by the love of Jesus.

We pray that you will experience this wonderful love.

Wishing all our dear patients, a blessed, loved-filled Resurrection Sunday!

Love hung heavy on a wooden frame,
Arms outstretched, calling every name.

Not in thunder, but in silent grace,
Christ bore a weight none of us could face.

No ordinary sorrow, this was—
But a Love that boldly bled for our tomorrow.

A crown of thorns, a crimson tide,
Unending mercy flowing from His side.

On this Good Friday we remember:
A Love that chose those fiery embers
A Love that boldly received those nails
A Love so designed to stay and prevail.

Wishing all our patients and their families, a very blessed Good Friday!

Culture is often weaved so very beautifully in food traditions all over the world. This week, as we celebrate Hari Raya Puasa with our Muslim friends, we’d like to honour the cultural significance of the humble ketupat.

The ketupat, originating from Indonesia, is a type of rice cake wrapped in palm leaves and boiled until it is cooked. For us Singaporeans, it’s a mainstay with our beloved satays and mee sotos. During Hari Raya Puasa, it is often paired with rendang, a beautifully complex, spicy, multi-layered meat dish. Eaten together, they are yin to a yang, honey to a bee, and simply delightful to the tastebuds!

But more than just a pack of rice, the ketupat brings beauty also, in its own understated layers.

Making it is a communal effort, where family members and friends gather, and in that very act, as like the tight weave of the leaves of the ketupat, we are to exercise forgiveness also as we do. The ketupat undertakes that quiet offering that symbolizes forgiveness, as its weaves the path to communal solidarity and blessings.

Truly, how very beautiful : )

From our clinic to all our Muslim friends, wishing you a very wonderful Hari Raya Puasa!

Giving red packets is one of the most beautiful traditions practiced during Chinese New Year. It is a gesture of love from the giver, and it is loved by all who receive them, especially children!

It is very interesting that Chinese culture wills that within the red, lies the blessing.

This is strikingly similar to our belief as Christians—within the blood of Christ, the biggest blessing from our Heavenly Father is revealed!

We wish you health and the pure joy of knowing such love divine this Chinese New Year ❤

With blessings from all of us at Sozo Cardiology. Huat ah!

The turn of a new year always heralds with it equal possibilities of hope and uncertainty for the future. As we start 2025, perhaps the needful question to ask ourselves, is

“How can we care for our hearts through this process?”

World-renown trauma therapist, Christian, and mental health expert Dr Anita Philips in her profound book the Garden Within, likens our heart, to a garden. She expounds on how the key to a flourishing garden is when our emotions are recognized as needs that must be met instead of managed.

Emotions are like soil that need for acknowledgement, slowness, and grace to grow well.

As you start the hope of a new year, we at Sozo wish you all the love and support that our hearts can give, for your own peace of heart

Warmest Christmas Blessings From Sozo Cardiology!

“When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.”

Light is a very significant concept in the Bible, most beautifully summarised in Matthew 2:9-10 as Jesus, the light of the world.

Here, the truth of Jesus is quite literally, shining light through mention of the great Star. The Bible says the Star “stood over” baby Jesus, both heralding and testifying that the Messiah had come. This was a period of grave darkness as Herod would shortly, in the same chapter, “slew all the children that were in Bethlehem” (verse 16) in a quest to kill baby Jesus.

But true to God’s salvation plan—the darker the world’s night, light becomes brighter and brighter!

Jesus, the light of the world was so clear, that wise men could still rejoice in the midst of pitch darkness, the same way we can today—“with exceeding great joy!”

From our Clinic, to all our dear patients near and far. Merry, blessed Christmas!

Today we’d like to wish our beloved Medical Director, Dr Ooi Yau Wei, a very happy birthday!

Twenty thousand coronary angioplasties and counting. Thousands of lives and families touched. All through the patient, warm, faithful care of a humble one.

Dr Ooi, may our good Lord continue to fill and use you mightily as you rest in Him. We celebrate your life, and are thankful for this absolute privilege of running this race of healing and ministry with you!

With all our love,
Team Sozo

Our clinic’s warmest wishes for Deepavali, the festival of lights!

One of our favorites during Deepavali is murukku, a must-have snack that features heavily this festive season. It is delightfully savory, and notorious for being crunchy and hard. It also has many variations, featuring different star ingredients. From fish, to mint, to semolina and even pearl millet! Murukku’s popularity is as multi-varied and wide as the languages of the Indian sub-continent.

Murukku’s popularity is even extended into Tamil, with the cheeky saying: “பல்லற்ற தாத்தாக்கு முறுக்கு வேண்டுமாம்” ('toothless grandfather wants murukku'). It speaks of a situation when someone wants something they cannot use!

Cheers to a beautiful Deepavali, enjoy a murukku on us!

From an island of fishing villages to celebrating our national day at the Padang, against a wildly impressive CBD skyline.

We at Sozo are so thankful for the progress we have made as a nation. It is one we only could have achieved from the contributions of each and every precious individual, and together, as one united people.

Happy National Day, Singapore. We are so proud, and love you so!
