81-Year-Old Patient Critically Ill, Simei Hospital Seeks To Unite Him With Long-Lost Family

St. Andrew’s Community Hospital Seeks To Fulfill Patient’s Last Wish To Meet Long-Lost Family

Spending our final days on this earth alone is a crippling thought for many of us, especially when we have people to call family.

For critically ill patient Mr Tang Chor Peng (陈楚平), this is a real threat, if he doesn’t manage to find his family members who he hasn’t seen in 35 years.

Thankfully, St. Andrew’s Community Hospital (SACH) in Simei where he’s staying at, has generously offered to help. But they’ll need our assistance too.

Lost contact with family more than 30 years ago

SACH posted an appeal on Facebook yesterday (4 Jun) to locate the family members of 81-year-old Mr Tang.

According to them, Mr Tang used to live with his ex-wife Lin Qiao Yu (林巧玉), and 3 daughters Chen Su Zhen (陈秀珍), Chen Su Lian (陈秀莲), Chen Su Zhen (陈素贞) back in 1985.

Living on the 9th floor of Block 27 New Upper Changi Road, the family has not been together for over 30 years for reasons not mentioned.
