Wee Boon Teck

Who was Wee Boon Teck?

Wee Boon Teck, the only son of Wee Bin materially improved and strengthened the position of the firm of Wee Bin & Co. and died on 22 September 1888 at the comparatively early age of 38. He was on the Committee of Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Po Leung Kuk. He was a man of a kindly and charitable disposition, a notable instance being his gift of $4,000 to the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, which bequest was invested by Government for some twenty years and was then applied towards the cost of building one ward bearing his name in the present Hospital in Moulmein Road. Boon Teck Road is named after him.
