Tonight mark another highlight the induction of Dr. Yew Chung Khian as our newest member, marking a significant addition to the club's growing roster of community-minded professionals.

Dr. Yew's contributions to the field of rehabilitation medicine are widely recognized. He has been at the forefront of advancing rehabilitation practices in Malaysia, with his recent research on promoting the adoption of robotic exoskeletons in rehabilitation being published in the prestigious American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. His work continues to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical patient care.
The induction ceremony, held in the spirit of Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self," was a momentous occasion for the club. The Rotary Club of Alor Star is excited to have Dr. Yew on board.
