OUR EMBLEM

“Per pale and per chevron Gules and Azure a Chevron cotised between
three Leopards’ faces Or And for the Crest On a Wreath,
Or Gules and Azure Two Eagles’ heads addorsed Azure beaked
Or and gorged with a chaplet of Roses - Gules barbed and seeded in
each beak a Poppy slipped and leaved proper”.


In the center of the Shield, the Chevron symbolises the coming - together
of the Specialties of Medicine under one roof - the Academy.
The three Pards represent the territories in the Singapore-Malaysia region.
The two Eagles’ heads of the Crest remind us of the privilege
we had of using the family Arms of our first Master,
Gordon Ransome, in the early years of our existence.
The poppies denote our common desire to relieve pain.

The Motto RECTA SAPERE urges us to seek and savour the truth at all times.
