TAN KIM SENG was a third-generation Malaccan born in 1806, from a family with a trading business that had been established for over half a century.
By the age of 35, he had become a force in business and community and a major landowner, with warehouses, mansions and the largest single piece of property on the island.
His legacy continues through charitable acts by his descendants and his imprint on the history of Singapore and Malacca.
