He joined Aware recently and attended the recent AGM.  \nA W A R E ’ S P O W E R C O U P L E  \nQuiet, devoted to religious activities  \nAlan Chin expressed his views on homosexuality in letters to ST Forum  \n BY TAN DAWN WEI  \nI  \nF HIS wife is a livewire, he is the quiet one.  \nFriends say Dr Alan Chin Yew Liang, 51, has never been known tobe the life of the party.  \nIn fact, he stopped going to parties in recent years, preferring to devote his time to religious activities, said a longtime friend.  \nDr Chin made his presence felt at the Aware AGM on March 28 even though he could not vote.  \nAware has long accepted men as associate members and he joined recently. His wife joined in January this year.  \nOld guard members at the AGM said that he was one of the many unfamiliar new faces who turned up and, during the elections, he helped to count votes.  \nLater, when they checked to find out who he was, all they could find was that he had penned six letters to The Straits Times between May and August 2007 speaking out against the homosexual lifestyle, and citing the higher incidence of HIV cases among homosexuals.  \nIn one letter, he said that homosexuals could change their sexual orientation.  \nHe and his wife, Josie, have been attending the Anglican Church Of Our Saviour at Margaret Drive since 2001 .  \nThey were married in the 1980s at the Anglican St Andrew’s Cathedral, soon after he graduated from medical school atthe National University of Singapore.  \nHe and three classmates set up Lifeline Medical Group, which has since expanded to encompass nine general practitioner clinics and one aesthetic clinic.  \nAmong the partners is well-known watch collector and horology expert Bernard Cheong, 51, who has known Dr Chin since they were first-year medical students.  \n“He’s a nice guy, and he and Josie are avery loving couple. I would definitely want him as my doctor,” Dr Cheong said with a hearty laugh.  \nWhen The Straits Times called him, Dr Chin declined to be interviewed, but asked to be contacted through his e-mail address.  \nHe did not respond to questions nor subsequent messages.  \nBut in an interview published in the Singapore Medical Association’s newsletter in January 2007, he described himself and his interests.  \nHe said his parents had the biggest influence on his early life, and his father told him when he was in primary school that God gave him intelligence and he would succeed if he worked hard, he said in the same interview.  \nHe said that he spent Sunday mornings going to church and spending time with his family, his favourite book was the Bible, and his favourite song was Faith by Jason Upton, an American Christian singer-songwriter.  \nHe also let on some nuggets about himself: his biggest indulgence was buying a BMW Cabriolet and he thought everyone should watch The Lord Of The Rings be  \ncause it was the “best show and trilogy ever!”.  \nThe BMW Cabriolet has since given way to a  \nToyota MPV, a friend said.  \nIn the same 2007 interview, when asked what he wanted to be remembered for, he said: a loving husband and father and a loyal friend.  \n[dawntan@sph.com.sg](dawntan@sph.com.sg)  \nBefore joining DBS, Ms Lau spent 15 years at STB where, according to her CV, she was instrumental in developing events like the Singapore Food Festival, Great Singapore Sale and Singapore Fashion Festival.
