DR CHEN WEI SENG

My Story ......



INTRODUCTION

My name is Chen Wei Seng and I am a doctor practicing in Malaysia.


EDUCATION

I had my primary education at the Bukit Bintang Boys Primary School 1 (1969 - 1974), and my secondary school education at the Bukit Bintang Boys Secondary School (1975 - 1981). I entered the Medical Faculty of University of Malaya in 1982. I graduated from the Medical Faculty of University of Malaya in 1987 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.


MY WORK

I was posted to the Malacca General Hospital to do my housemanship training. In 1987, Malacca was a quiet town, so different from the hustle and bustle of the city where I grew up (Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya). I went through the normal rotation for houseman training; general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, paediatrics, internal medicine and primary care medicine at the out-patient department and emergency unit. Upon completion of housemanship I joined the Medical and Dental Corps of the Malaysian Armed Forces. For more of my days in the Army, go to the link below.

It was a two year stint in the Army (1988-1990) and then it's back to the Malacca General Hospital that I had enjoyed my stay earlier. I joined the Orthopaedics Surgery and Traumatology Unit upon my return. I spent three years here, and thoroughly enjoyed my work in this unit. I went for a short course in Sports Medicine, and then got myself attached to the Malacca Soccer team as one of their team doctors and got the chance to travel with the team in the Semi-pro league matches of the Malaysia Cup at that time. Besides that, I also had the opportunity to work as one of the track doctors on the Medical Team at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand-prix in Shah Alam in 1992.

I would have stayed on in Malacca if not for an offer to join a group practice back in Petaling Jaya, my home town. That was in 1993. I am currently a partner with the Klinik Alam Medic Group. My work includes family medicine and occupational safety and health medicine.


PERSONAL INTERESTS

I had recently completed an external program leading to a Masters in Medicine (Family Medicine) and a Certificate in Aviation Medicine from Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia.

My interest in computer dates back to the Apple-2 days and writing simple programs in BASIC. My current computer runs on Pentium 4 Windows 2000.  My other unit is a uses an AMD450 processor. My kids use the DELL 233MMX. I use a Mitac laptop AMD350 during work and travel.


I had been active in sports since school days and played almost every game. I represented my secondary school, Bukit Bintang Boys' in hockey. Today I play only tennis once a week. Golf is tempting, but my wife is already an Internet widow, so I do not wish to make her a golf widow too.


My family is my greatest asset, and the time spent watching my three children grow is so fulfilling and enriching emotionally. My wife teaches in a secondary school and is also the full time tutor to our children.

My remaining hours in the day aside from the above activities are spent in front of the television. I like the news on CNN, Bloomberg and the local news on TV3. I also enjoy watching motor-sports, soccer and tennis. The movies are too long, so I leave them out of my menu. Sometimes I am forced to watch cartoons because my sons must get their daily dose of Popeye and Tom & Jerry.
