These cases, often individuals, will be identified by grassroots advisers from their Meet-the-People sessions. The endowment fund, set up by the Sian Chay Medical Institution, is supported by Mr Tan Hian Tsin. Mr Tan, who is in his 90s, has pledged to donate the private art collection of his late wife Tsao Sui Lan, after whom the fund is named. He is also giving $2 million to start the fund.
