A Philanthropist

During one of my trips to Singapore, my aunt, a very smart businesswoman cum lawyer took me to visit a Home named Ju Eng.




The founder of the home was Elder Ang Oon Hue, BBM (1911-1998). In the 1940s he bought a 2 acre freehold land and built a primary school for the benefit of the children living in the vicinity. In 1995 this land was handed over the Singapore Government for conversion into a home for the poor senior citizens, elderly, frail and the sick.

At the home, we found this cute and happy lady at the piano.



She is so alive despite her disability and entertained us with a few beautiful Christmas numbers.
