I was born in Kuching, Sarawak in 1938. My primary and secondary school education was at St Thomas Anglican School, Kuching. I graduated from the University of Adelaide with an MBBS in 1965 and was admitted as a Member and later a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. I was a medical and senior medical specialist (state physician) in the Sarawak General Hospital from 1967-1978.
As the first Sarawakian to qualify for the specialist post, I assumed the position vacated by the British Colonial Specialist. And I was the personal physician to the first four heads of state of Independent Sarawak. After leaving the government service, I set up a private medical clinic, Sim Medical Clinic, in the city where I still practice today.
I am married to Datin Irene Chew and we have three children, Stanley, Sheryl and Shannon. They have all received their MBBS from the University of Adelaide.
