Tanglin Halt bids farewell to people's doctor

If one did not know Dr Chan Khye Meng, one would think he was a famous celebrity, given the reception - applause, hugs and photo requests - he received in Tanglin Halt yesterday. Though the 86-year-old is no celebrity, he is well loved in his own right.

At least 60 of Dr Chan's patients past and present gathered at Meng's Clinic to celebrate his 55-year career and to bid farewell to a beloved member of the Tanglin Halt community. The event was organised by heritage group My Community.
