Mr See Teong Wah
Tribute to a Well Known Local Chinese
To the editor of the Straits Times
Sir,- By the death of Mr See Teong Wah, JP, another link with the past of Singapore is shattered. A son of the late Mr See Ewe Boon, Mr Teong Wah was educated in St. Joseph's Institution, and at the early age of 18, he assisted his afther in the Compradore's department of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, Singapore. There he served for nearly 30 years.
He was a born leader and closely identified himself with the welfare of the public, holding office as homorary treasurer and committee member of the S.C.B.A, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, president of the Hokkien Hoay Kuan, auditor of the Royal Asiatic Socity, a member of the Chinese Advisory Board, a Justice of the Peace, and a Municipal Commissioner, among many other appointments.
At the Centenary of Singapore celebrations, Mr See Teong Wah represented the Chinese community in the presentation of an address of congratulations to H.E the Governor, Sir Arthur Young, and in 1922, he was the chief Chinese delegate at the Malaya Borneo Exhibition During the war of 1914 - 18, he was the most energetic in subscribing and raising funds for patriotic causes.
His ancestors migrated to Malacca from China 300 years ago and founded the house of Gim Hin. His daughter Lucy married the eldest son of H.E. Chen Tiao Yuan, at one time Provincial Governor of Shantung, and his son, Bong Him is the son-in-law of the late Mr Lim Nee Soon, J.P.
As Mr Teong Wah retired from public life more than 10 years ago, some of the present generation may have forgotten him, but it seems only appropriate for one who is grateful to his memory to place on record a tribute to the good he did in his lifetime to Malaya and the Empire at large - Y

His son Mr See Tiong Wah, entered the Hongkong bank in 1901 upon leaving school, and has made steady progress until now he is the assistant compradore, and as such, is his father's right hand man.
