Career

In 1984, Tan became a member of the Parliament of Singapore after she was nominated unopposed on Nomination Day, shortly before the 1984 general election.[1] Tan became one of three new female members to enter Parliament in 1984, together with Aline Wong and Yu-Foo Yee Shoon.[2] The trio became the first women to serve in Parliament in fourteen years.[1] She represented Ulu Pandan in parliament until her retirement in 1991.[1] She then worked as a family and marital therapist.[2]

Death

Tan died at Singapore General Hospital on 23 April 2014, aged 78, following a two-month illness with brain cancer. She was survived by her husband, cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Tan Ngoh Chuan, and their three children. A fourth child died in 2013. Her funeral was held at the Paya Lebar Methodist Church.[1]
