During our MoCa house visits, we had the opportunity to meet the Late Dr. Tan Eng Liang, a resident of MoCa. Dr. Tan is a distinguished figure in Singapore's sports history, the founding Chair of the Urban Redevelopment Authority, an Olympian, a former Senior Minister of State, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Member of Parliament. Despite his numerous achievements, Dr. Tan remains humble and thoughtful.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Kathryn Tan, who, along with Dr. Tan, shared valuable insights about their experience serving the nation as a family.
