Professor Gabriel Leung （梁卓偉） got together with Professor Chew Chin-hin (周振興) (MBBS 1955) in Singapore on October 9, 2019. Professor Chew and his wife Dr Anna Hui Woon Chuen (MBBS 1955) are lifelong friends of the late Professor Sir David Todd (MBBS 1952). While the late Professor Todd was the first non-Australasian elected to The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) Council, Professor Chew was the first non-Australasian to have received the RACP College medal.
