Timeline

1993

In 1993, the National University of Singapore created the Yeoh Ghim Seng Professorship in Surgery in his honour.

Yeoh died on 3 June 1993 of lung cancer at the Singapore General Hospital. He was survived by his wife, five daughters and 15 grandchildren.

1977

In 1977, he also became the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization's (AIPO) first president.

1970

Yeoh Ghim Seng BBM JP (Chinese: 杨锦成; pinyin: Yáng Jǐnchéng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Iôⁿ Gím-sêng) was a Singaporean politician who served as Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore between 1970 and 1989.

He is one of the longest-serving speakers of any parliament in the world. Yeoh served briefly as the acting president of Singapore between the death of Yusof Ishak on 23 November 1970 and the inauguration of President Benjamin Sheares on 2 January 1971.

1966

Yeoh's political career began in 1966 when he was recruited by the People's Action Party to stand in a by-election in Joo Chiat. He won by a walkover and served as the constituency's MP for 22 years. His preoccupation with medicine precluded a ministerial appointment; instead, he was made deputy speaker in 1968, and elected speaker two years later. In 1977, minister of law, environment, science and technology, E. W. Barker, congratulating him on his re-election to yet another term as speaker, said that if not for Yeoh's commitment to surgery, he "could with ease and distinction occupy one of the front benches on this side of the House". As speaker, Yeoh's residence was the Command House.

1951

In 1951, Yeoh returned to Malaya to become consultant surgeon to the Singapore General Hospital. When he was appointed professor of surgery at the then University of Malaya in 1955, he was one of the first locals to hold that chair. He resigned the chair in 1962 to set up what became a lucrative private practice, but continued to train medical graduates from the university. A six-footer, Yeoh was described once as "the biggest but fastest Asian surgeon".

1940

Yeoh received his early education at St. Michael's Institution in his hometown of Ipoh (in Malaysia) and at Penang Free School. He studied medicine at Cambridge University in the 1940s and was on attachment to hospitals there before becoming a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1950.
