Durian parties with K W Ong Breast & General Surgery Clinic!
This year, it was three times the fun! Held on 19, 24, and 31 Jul 2025, the events were a tropical fiesta, filled with the King of Fruits, and other tropical fruits.
The parties were a fantastic opportunity for friends to bond, mingle and engage in light-hearted conversations. It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves and of course the Durians!
