In Loving Memory of Dr. Teh KC

Sports Medicine Association Singapore remembers one of the founding fathers of Sports Medicine in Singapore

DR. TEH KONG CHUAN
(1949 – 2021)

“Dr. Teh was a quiet, humble and unassuming man. He was my boss, colleague, teacher, mentor and advisor. He pioneered and led many initiatives in sports medicine and sports science that laid the foundation for what we have today – for elite sport as well as health and fitness for the masses in Singapore. He also worked closely with the sporting fraternity locally and abroad, forming networks that exist till today.

Thank you Dr. Teh for being our leader and role model. Thank you for being a fine doctor. And thank you for being a great and loyal friend.”

~ Dr. Teoh Chin Sim

~ Dr. Dinesh Sirisena

 

“Dr. Teh’s contribution to Sports Medicine is immeasurable but what stands out even more is Dr. Teh’s humility, compassion, care and integrity.”

“Though I had minimal interaction with Dr. Teh, he came across as a kind and gentle man with humility. For many of the current opportunities the current generation of Sports and Exercise Medicine trainees, including myself, have – we have Dr. Teh to thank. In particular, through his many years of service in the Singapore Sports Council, by caring for generations of athletes, many of whom have gone on to play prominent roles within the local sports scene, Dr. Teh has played a big part in showcasing the importance of Sports Medicine, and ingrained its integral role for the health of everyone who is physically active.”
