Hello everyone,

Some of us ACSians managed to squeeze some time to attend last night's dinner 15 June at Delicious Restaurant in Bangsar attended by the usual very supportive kaki's namely Kee Kuang, Nyat Keong, Hong Yik, Dr Sukdershan, Dr Manjit (who despite his very busy dental schedule managed to grace the occassion), Mun Ngor (who took time off again to come all the way from Batu Pahat), Chi Wi (back for hols from Taiwan). Edmund Ewe resurfaced after so many years absence & we wish our brother a warm welcome.

2. We were also very lucky as the usual guys gathering this time was graced by 3 ladies from Form Six Sc. C ie Wai Lan, Lay Ian and Sook Fun (if not mistaken came all the way from Ipoh).

3. Our brother King Loon only arrived after dinner ended but all was not lost as some of us adjourned with him for teh tarik at Devi's Corner

4. Some snaps of the gathering for remembrance. If the photos are too large perhaps can download & saved for viewing.

5. Good news as Dr Manjit has proposed to arrange a future gathering of ACSians possibly at Selangor Club, Bukit Kiara (he is a member). We look forward to this and hope many can attend.

As usual RSVP by email or sms would be great.

UM surgeon wins international breast cancer award

By : Annie Freeda Cruez

KUALA LUMPUR, Wed:

Prof Dr Cheng Har Yip, a surgeon with University Malaya Medical Centre, has received an international award for her outstanding work in breast cancer treatment.

She was awarded the UICC (International Union Against Cancer) 2009 Reach to Recovery International Health Professional Award at a conference held in Brisbane, Australia, last week.

She was the only recipient outside Australia to receive the award from the United States based body.

“As much as I am happy to receive it, I also want women in Malaysia to come for screening and early detection of the disease,” she said when met at the 15the UICC Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Conference in Brisbane.

Dr Yip, a breast surgeon at UMMC, said 1 in 20 Malaysian women would develop breast cancer in their lifetime and Chinese have the highest incidence followed by Indians and Malays. She also said 1 in 16 women, for both Chinese and Indian, were at risk of getting breast cancer as compared with 1 in 28 Malay women. “The commonest age at which a woman can get the disease is between 40 and 49 years. My greatest concern is Malay women who come in at later stages with larger tumours. Consequently their survival rate is worse than with Chinese and Indian women,” she added.

She said the challenge in Malaysia was to be able to provide a comprehensive service in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Dr Yip started the breast clinic in UMMC in 1993 and has written over 70 articles on the subject in medical journals.

She is the chairman of the National Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Breast Cancer in Malaysia and is on the Council of the College of Surgeons of Malaysia.

She is an exco member of the Asian Breast Cancer Society, a member of Breast Surgery International and also sits on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Breast Health Global Initiatives Foundation.

“My research interest are in the epidemiology, early detection and management of breast cancer in developing countries,” said Dr Yip, who works closely with breast cancer support groups and non-governmental organisations to promote health awareness and early detection of breast cancer.
