Honored to be invited as a speaker for this annual conference.

Had the privilege of delivering two topics over the span of two days, while also exchanging valuable insights with fellow colleagues and friends in the field.

Kudos to Dr Tan Wooi Chiang and the organizing team for putting together such a successful and well-organized event. It was truly an excellent platform for learning, networking, and socializing.

Encouraging reviews this week. Grateful for my patients’ trust and kind words — they inspire me to do better every day. The greatest joy is seeing health restored, confidence regained, and smiles return when their skin conditions improve. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my staff at the Plastic Surgery Department, 3A floor, for their dedication and excellent service. Your commitment ensures our patients’ comfort and satisfaction every day — truly the backbone of our care.”

I’ve always believed that educating patients is key, especially in managing chronic skin problems. When they understand more about their own skin, they gain better control over their lives and get the best out of treatment.

Big thanks to Taisho Pharmaceuticals Sdn Bhd and Mega Kulim for putting together “My Little Pharmacist” — such a fun, joyful, and enlightening event!

GP synposium 2025
Venue: Ascott Gurney
Date: 31st May 2025
Presentation topic: Bridging the Gap in AD Management: From Topicals to Targeted Systemic Therapies

I’m excited to share with fellow general practitioners two of the latest advancements in the management of atopic dermatitis (AD): Crisaborole ointment and Abrocitinib, the newest JAK inhibitor recently registered in Malaysia.

Crisaborole is a non-steroidal topical treatment designed to manage active AD lesions effectively, offering a steroid-sparing option for patients with mild to moderate disease.

For patients with moderate to severe AD that is inadequately controlled with topicals, Abrocitinib offers a powerful oral targeted therapy. Clinical studies have shown that Abrocitinib can provide itch relief within just one day, with a 50% reduction in lesions seen within one week.

I’m pleased to share that both of these cutting-edge treatments are now available at my clinic at Island Hospital, Penang.

I presented two topics to fellow dermatologists and trainees at this year’s PDM MidTerm meeting: ‘Laser and Energy-Based Devices for Hair Regrowth and Hair Removal’ and ‘A Review of Lasers and Energy-Based Devices for Skin Rejuvenation.’ It was a weekend filled with learning, meaningful connections, and great fun alongside esteemed speakers from Malaysia, Korea and Thailand.

Short trip to Medan, Indonesia. Public talk about “itchy skin condition” for health awareness. The is the first time I delivered fully in Bahasa Indonesia!
