Testo Storyboard
- Good morning Alexis, I learnt about Tan Tock Seng last night on a documentary. It was interesting. Do you know anything about him?
- Sure, let me tell you more.
- I am sorry I do not know. Can you please share with me more?
- Yes! People who didn't have prior access to medical facilities now could have. Their chance of survival would increase in the midst of poor sanitation and poor living conditions!
- Tan Tock Seng was a famous philanthropist. He donated a total of $5,000 to help fund the building of a Chinese hospital which was later renamed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital
- Wow! It must have been good news for people who needed medical help then.
- Yes, in fact you are absolutely right. He also founded the Thian Hock Keng Temple, Singapore's oldest temple and the centre of worship for Hokkien community. Most Hokkiens back then in Singapore moved in from Malacca, where he was originally from.
- Wow! $5,000 at that time is really alot of money. Not many could bear with donating such an amount. I'm sure that's not all he did.
- Wow! I did not know all that! Is there more about Tan Tock Seng? I want to learn more about him.
