Leong Chest Clinic began operation in 1991 at 178 Jalan Pasir Puteh, 31650 Ipoh. At that time, I had a choice of either locating the practice at Jalan Leong Sin Nam or Pasir Puteh Road. I decided to take Pasir Puteh Road as the shophouse at Jalan Leong Sin Nam was already rented out to a fellow colleague.
I had been in public medical service for 10 years and my last post was as head of the Chest Unit in Ipoh General Hospital (Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh). I am indeed very proud of my 10 years of service in the public sector as it gave me a very rich experience in serving the needy. I also had a great time teaching the young doctors and nurses.

We had a gala time with family friends. The food was from the First Restaurant, our usual food caterer. Sad to say some of these dear friends are no longer with us. One advice to everyone is to take photos of people and places at every opportunity as these photos will bring back sweet memories of days gone by.
A big thank you to all for the flowers and well wishes.
