Mr Tan co-hosted the discussion as the foundation’s consultant alongside deputy chairman Chew Gek Khim.
The event aimed to “identify potential gaps and hopefully foster collaborations amongst agencies from the public, private and people sectors serving the elderly in Singapore”.
Esteemed speakers were also present to offer their invaluable perspectives on the elderly community in Singapore.
The foundation was established by and named after the late banker and philanthropist Dr Tan Chin Tuan.
In addition to aiding the less fortunate, Dr Tan also donated more than S$10 million to his alma mater, Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), which Mr Tan also attended.
Return to public eye after resignation
Following his resignation over an inappropriate relationship with a fellow MP, Mr Tan seemingly disappeared from the public eye, deactivating all his social media accounts.
However, in May, a Facebook post by the SMF Centre of Corporate Learning (CCL) announced Mr Tan’s upcoming appeareance at a “Masterclass In Leadership”.

However, the post was later removed, leaving uncertainty about whether the event — originally scheduled for 10 July — will proceed.
