Tan Tock Seng

Tan Tock Seng (1798–1850) was a Singaporean merchant and philanthropist. The present day Tan Tock Seng Hospital is named after him.
==Overview==
Born in Malacca in 1798 〔One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore〕 to an immigrant Hokkien father and Peranakan mother, Tan Tock Seng rose from humble origins. In 1819, Tan moved to Singapore to sell fruit, vegetable and fowl. He worked diligently and was able to set up a shop in Boat Quay and became a notable businessman. He was famous for contributing money to build a hospital called "Tan Tock Seng Hospital〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.streetdirectory.com/sg/tan-tock-seng-hospital/11-jalan-tan-tock-seng-308433/412_38502.html )〕" as he saw many poor and sick people.
Most of his wealth came from the results of his speculations with J. Horrocks Whitehead of Shaw, Whitehead & Co. Whitehead died in September 1846 at the age of 36. His tombstone at the old cemetery on Fort Canning was erected, "as a token of affection on the part of a Chinese friend, Tan Tock Seng".
Tan also owned large tracts of prime land, including 50 acres (200,000 m²) at the site of the railway station and another plot stretching from the Padang right up to High Street and Tank Road. His other assets were a block of shophouses, an orchard and a nutmeg plantation which he co-owned with his brother. In time, he became an influential Chinese leader and was the first Asian to be made a Justice of the Peace by Governor Butterworth. He was skilful at settling feuds among the Chinese and was accustomed to bear the expenses of burying poor Chinese. In 1844, he contributed $5,000 to the construction of the Tan Tock Seng Hospital on top of Pearl's Hill. The hospital was later shifted to Tan Tock Seng Road because the building at Pearl's Hill was too small to cater to enough patients and it was too old. Tan also contributed money to the construction of the Taoist Thian Hock Keng Temple at Telok Ayer in 1842, the place of worship for the settlers from Fujian, China.
