Lim Ho Puah
On Siang Tat's death (Wee Siang Tat was the only son of Wee Boon Teck),〔One hundred years' history of the Chinese in Singapore - Page 115 - by Ong Siang Song - History - 1923〕 Lim Ho Puah became the sole surviving partner in the firm of Wee Bin & Co., which was liquidated in 1911, when the greater part of the firm's business, including all the large steamers, was taken over by his son, Lim Peng Siang. Lim Ho Puah was born in Amoy in 1841 and coming to Singapore at an early age entered the service of Wee Bin & Co. in a humble capacity. His industry and business intelligence soon attracted the notice of his employer, Wee Bin, and he became the towkay's son-in-law. He was the founder and senior partner of the Wee Bin steamship line and other concerns.〔Seaports of the Far East: Historical and Descriptive, Commercial and Industrial, Facts, Figures, & Resources By Allister Macmillan Compiled by Allister Macmillan Published by W.H. & L. Collingridge, 1925; p. 441, 442〕 During his long residence in Singapore, he took much interest in local public affairs. He was at one time a Director of Tan Kim Ching's Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, and served also as a member of the Chinese Advisory Board and on the Committee of the Po Leung Kuk, and was made a J.P. He died in February 1913 at the age of 72. His remains were interred in China.〔One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore by Ong Siang Song, 1923 - Page 114-116〕
