Mr Tan was an immigrant who worked hard and finally amassed wealth. However, he did not stop there. He gave liberally to charity and even built the Chinese Pauper's Hospital. His contributions have been recognised but I feel that he deserves a little more.
I would like to suggest that we can have a statue of Mr Tan Tock Seng. The museum can be decorated with flowers and pictures of him when he was young.
This monument can have a short description of Mr Tan Tock Seng.
Short Description:
Mr Tan Tock Seng came to Singapore to seek his fortune. He scrimped and saved every cent he earned. After saving enough money, he opened a shop. Eventually, he became one of the richest merchants in Singapore. However, that was not the end. Mr Tan Tock Seng donated generously and even built a hospital for the poor. He was recognised for his contributions.
