To mark the Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore’s (PSS) 120th Year of Pharmacy in Singapore, a special short video was produced through collaborative effort. Ms. Vivian Chin and Ms. Low Kai Xin from the Young Pharmacists Chapter led the charge, working hand in hand with hosts and videographers from the National University of Singapore Pharmaceutical Society (NUSPS) Media Resource Team (MRT). The entire filming and production process was overseen by these two leaders and the PSS Corporate Communications team, with vital support from the 119th PSS Council and the PSS Secretariat.


The video proudly features prominent leaders from diverse pharmacy fields. Mr. Liak Teng Lit and Dr. Leticia Peh represented hospital pharmacy practice, while Mrs. Pauline Ong and Mr. Roman Lester Rosales offered insights into community pharmacy. Mr. Ng Chin Tiang and Mr. Liu Mao Sheng, Marshall, shared their expertise from the industry and regulatory sectors. Lastly, Professor Chan Sui Yung and Professor Giorgia Pastorin highlighted pharmacy education and academia in Singapore.
