Heartlander Turbocharged July 1, 2020 Share July 1, 2020 11 hours ago, Blueray said: NUS' Paul Tambyah to lead US-based International Society of Infectious Diseases in 2022 SINGAPORE - National University of Singapore (NUS) professor and infectious disease expert Paul Tambyah will be leading the Massachusetts-based International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID) in 2022 as its president, the university said on Wednesday (June 17). For now, Prof Tambyah has been appointed the society's president-elect and will support incumbent ISID president Prof Alison Holmes in running the organisation until he takes over its leadership as the society's first Singaporean president. The society, which has more than 90,000 members from over 155 countries, was founded in 1986. It supports health professionals, non-governmental organisations, and governments globally in their work to prevent, investigate, and manage infectious disease outbreaks and endemic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and dengue. ISID focuses especially on countries with limited resources and which disproportionately bear the burden of infectious diseases. Commenting on Prof Tambyah's appointment, Prof Marc Mendelson, a former ISID president, said: "Paul is well known to all in the field of infectious diseases, and brings a wealth of experience from his time with multiple international societies and august bodies, as well as formidable experience across the spectrum of infection, including outbreaks, tropical medicine, and clinical applied research. "He is a go-to speaker on so many topics and currently serves as chair of the ISID Publications Committee, playing a vital role in the success of our journal." At NUS' Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Prof Tambyah is Professor of Medicine. He also serves as a senior consultant in infectious diseases at the National University Hospital and was previously the research director in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the National University Health System (NUHS). Outside of NUHS, Prof Tambyah is the president of the Asia Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection. He is also the chairman of the Singapore Democratic Party. Prof Tambyah said of his ISID appointment: "This is a critical time for infectious diseases globally. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought home the fact that viruses do not respect international boundaries. No one is safe anywhere until everyone is safe everywhere. "Singapore academics, clinicians and public health professionals have much to contribute to societies such as ISID to help make the world a healthier place for everyone." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/nus-paul-tambyah-to-lead-us-based-international-society-of-infectious-diseases-in coming to Bt Panjang. Proud of him. But wearing so many hats at one time, and now this very prestigious appointment in 2022, would he seriously has time to serve his residents? Maybe Turboflat4 can shed some lights since he is also of similar caliber? Not that I look down on his multi-tasking skills. If he is in government instead, he would be availed with the complete set of machinery to assist him to juggle better definitely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same team lost in GE2015 by only 0.9% despite being nobody then, improving from GE2011 when PAPA lost by 5%. Lets see how both slates fared over the last 5 years before writing any team off. I would think WP is more shaky based on the TC saga and the trending towards PAP from last 2 GE results as some residents might be still having buyers' remorse. Anyway talk is cheap as I do not live there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the car is overpriced, not much functions and safety feature, they still buy. Lol. No matter how unpopular or even screw up Jo Teo is, people still cross for her team. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be definitely be a very tough fight for both side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His many portfolios (distractions) seems to contradicts his party chief's stand on full-time MP. I do think he is really a credible opposition candidate whom the Bukit Panjang SMC voters should seriously consider.
