Welcome to the Singapore Society of Rheumatology (SSR)

Dr Lian Tsui Yee

Dear friends

It is a privilege to take up the role of President of SSR 2024-2025.  I am deeply aware of the foundation laid by my predecessors and together with the incoming office bearers, we hope to build on this legacy. I would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to immediate past president, Dr Howe Hwee Siew for her leadership. Under her stewardship, SSR has continued to grow to 100 members strong and she has led our society to achieve remarkable milestones, none more significant that the highly successful hosting of the 26th Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) Congress in Singapore last year.  The 26th APLAR Congress 2024 attracted almost 2000 participants and it showcased our commitment to advancing rheumatology on a global stage.  This conference would have delighted Professor Feng Pao Hsii, our Father of Rheumatology who was a strong advocate of Rheumatology education “without borders”.  I would also like to thank the outgoing EXCO, APLAR Local Organising Committee and the Sub-committees for their enthusiasm and unwavering commitment over the last few years of preparation for APLAR 2024. This conference would also not have been the success it was without the support and cohesiveness of all of you!

We live and practice in exciting times as Rheumatology has advanced in leaps and bounds in both the understanding and therapeutics of diseases. I encourage each one of you to actively participate in our society to continue to achieve the aim of our society in advancing knowledge and practice of Rheumatology.  In line with Professor Feng’s vision to strongly encourage research especially amongst our aspiring rheumatologists, the Educational Grant in his name has been pivoted to encourage and recognize senior residents for good quality presentations for their research.  Together with the new EXCO, we will continue to work to cultivate an environment that is supportive and stimulating while promoting close relationship and collegiality amongst our members.

I hope we will ride on the success of APLAR 2024 and that our next generation of rheumatologists will continue to engage and collaborate with other rheumatologists and researchers within the Asia Pacific region and internationally to keep our Singapore flag flying high.

 

Best Wishes
