Trailblazer-Chan Chiew Ping Fund

The Trailblazer-Chan Chiew Ping Fund is dedicated to the memory of the late Madam Chan Chiew Ping and her spirit of humanity and courage. Madam Chan Chiew Ping was the late mother of Madam Ho Ching.

Madam Chan came to Singapore from Taiping, Malaysia after the Second World War. She grew up in an era when most Asian girls did not have the privilege of a formal education. She is remembered for her dedication and devotion to her family, her life-long zeal for living and learning and her helpfulness to those around her. Madam Chan learnt to speak Mandarin by listening to the news on the radio. In her later years, she attended English, gu-zheng and cookery classes at her local community centre until she succumbed to lung cancer in 2005 at the age of 76.

The Chan Chiew Ping Fund offers sponsorship in these main areas:

In education, the Fund helps bright young women from Singapore and other ASEAN countries to realise their potential by providing financial assistance for their studies in Singapore.

In the medical field, the Fund will consider sponsorship of research, treatment and care for lung cancer patients.

Finally, the Fund also supports needy children, as well as the elderly and other needy.

The family of the late Madam Chan Chiew Ping is the principal sponsor of this Fund.
