SINGAPORE - Mr Tan Chong Nam, 82, and Madam Toh Moey Lan, 76, first met in 1965 at the Lim Chu Kang beach where Mr Tan was guarding the coast as a member of the Vigilante Corps defending against Indonesian terrorist attacks.
They were among the couples married for at least 50 years who were honoured for their strong and committed marriages at the Golden Jubilee Wedding Celebrations in December. The annual event, which started in 2018, is organised by the Registry of Marriages and the Registry of Muslim Marriages. By then, they had a son and three daughters. Mr Tan’s mother looked after the children while their parents were working.
“We wanted them to learn from their mistakes,” he said, while acknowledging that times have changed when it comes to how children are disciplined. Madam Toh and Mr Tan had different interests – she loved to travel, while Mr Tan preferred to remain in Singapore and play basketball.In fact, it was one tip Mr Tan gave to younger couples when The Straits Times spoke to the couple in their Toa Payoh home on Jan 16 about their 55-year marriage. “Give each other freedom and trust,” he said.
When Madam Toh was discharged after four months, she had to use a wheelchair and was unable to use the toilet on her own. She also had frequent check-ups and weekly physiotherapy.“I have God to thank for this,” said Madam Toh, who teared up when recounting the ordeal. Mr Teo Ngak Hong, 77, and Madam Chen Nyek Tshin, 72, got married in 1971 after just half a year of dating and ran a meat stall in a market for 10 years. ST PHOTO: KEVIN LIM
