Once again thanks for sharing these precious photos. As one of the grandsons of Tan Piah Eng, I have a 1952 information that Tan Kim Seng was born in 1906 within the Bukit Timah Estates (now Singapore Turf Club) and Tan Kim Kee was born in 1907 also within the same estate. Both worked as his assistants with Kim Seng joining in 1922 and Kim Kee in 1923, working at total of 20 and 19 years there, then continuing to work with Syonan Gomu Kumiai (Bukit Timah Vegetable Farm)
