Upon his return, he introduced the concept of local allergic rhinitis, use of 5FU, and enbloc resection in the management of inverted papilloma, to the local ENT fraternity.

He sits on the Standard Setting Committees for the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine’s undergraduate medical examination and the Otorhinolarynlogy postgraduate medical examination, and is an examiner in both medical schools.
