Marking 115 Years of Care: How Our CEO and Staff Marked This Meaningful Milestone

This June, we at KWSH joyfully marked our 115th anniversary — a significant milestone in our journey as a charity healthcare institution dedicated to serving our community. As we reflect on our long-standing mission, we are reminded of the values that define and guide us: care, community, and leadership.

To commemorate this special occasion, our CEO, Dr Mok Ying Jang, and one of our dedicated staff members, Jian Rong from the Corporate Communications department, each undertook meaningful initiatives that beautifully embody the spirit of KWSH.

Baking Up Memories: Dr Mok Ying Jang’s Heartfelt Gesture

On the morning of 4 June, our CEO, Dr Mok Ying Jang, rolled up his sleeves and joined seniors at KWS Care @ MacPherson for a unique and heartwarming activity — baking 115 cupcakes together. More than just a celebration, this symbolic gesture was a hands-on demonstration of the patience, precision and care that both baking and healthcare demand.
Each cupcake was a little different — some slightly taller than the others, some with a different swirl of icing — but that was precisely the point. As Dr Mok shared, “Imperfection can be beautiful.” Just as every ingredient in a recipe contributes to the final creation, every member of our KWSH family brings something invaluable to our collective mission of care.

Dr Mok’s personal involvement in this activity also reflected his people-first leadership style. By working side by side with our seniors, he embodied the warmth and inclusiveness that define our culture. The event was a joyful reminder that at KWSH, everyone plays a part in building a compassionate community.

Every Step With Purpose: Jian Rong’s Meaningful Challenge 

While Dr Mok was busy baking, Jian Rong from our Corporate Communications department was lacing up his running shoes for a different kind of tribute. Started on 1 January 2025, Jian Rong committed to running at least 11.5 km daily for 115 consecutive days. His goal? To motivate others to exercise regularly and to encourage support for charitable causes — values that align closely with KWSH’s mission. At KWSH, we believe that promoting an active lifestyle is vital to preventive health and overall well-being, just as much as providing quality medical care to those in need.

Jian Rong’s determination didn’t stop after reaching his initial target. He continued his daily runs, and by 14 June 2025, he had covered an impressive total of 1,910 km — a number that pays tribute to our founding year, 1910 — as we celebrated our 115th birthday earlier that week on 10 June. 

Through his challenge, Jian Rong not only demonstrated remarkable perseverance but also motivated others to get moving and give back. His journey is a testament to the power of individual action in driving collective impact.

Honouring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future 

As we celebrate 115 years of service, the actions of Dr Mok and Jian Rong remind us that our legacy is built on both leadership and the everyday contributions of our staff. Whether it’s baking cupcakes with seniors or running for a cause, we are united by our commitment to care, community, and making a difference.

Here’s to many more years of compassion, innovation, and togetherness at KWSH. Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we will continue to build a healthier and more caring community for everyone.
