A Father’s Resolve - Mr Tan Kim Hwa began his working life at the tender age of 18, dedicating himself to the shipyard industry where he specialised in welding and piping. His hard work contributed to the assembly of new ships and significant projects, such as the construction of the new Toa Payoh MRT station.

His responsibilities as a father were his driving force, motivating him to persevere through the most challenging times. Today, Mr Tan is featured on our mural at the Kreta Ayer Dialysis Centre as one of our oldest patients. 🤗
