Tan Tock Seng

Posted by Kenneth Pinto

Alvin Yeo of the Tiong Bahru Estate blog took a walk along Outram Road and ended up discovering the resting place of a famous man:

I always knew there was a tomb along Outram Road but never bothered to find out who was buried there. It was someone important for sure. I even speculated that it could be Tan Kim Seng since it is close by to Kim Seng Road. I am so glad that I took the trouble to find out.

Here’s my findings :

There are 2 tombs here on Outram Hill. And one of the tomb contains the remains of the founder of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Mr Tan Tock Seng himself.
