So...those idiots in MINDEF and MHA gets half day off to pay their last respect to TCH's mother or not?
Mdm Tan Suang, the mother of Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, died on Sunday morning. She was 89.
Mdm Tan's late husband was Mr Teo Cheng Guan, the former chairman and chief executive officer of OCBC Bank.
The couple raised their four children to "work hard and not to expect things to come (their) way in life," said DPM Teo in a 1996 interview with The New Paper.
Then a secretary, Mdm Tan insisted on teaching shorthand and typing skills to her children: her three daughters Hee Lian, Chai Lian and Swee Lian, and only son DPM Teo.
