"Khoo Teck Puat Hospital" should be called "Ee Peng Liang Hospital" instead.....

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) is a 570-bed general and acute care public hospital in Yishun



The total development cost of KTPH was estimated at about $674m ($555m for buildings, $119m for furniture & equipment). This is fully funded by the Government. The hospital has been named Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to recognize the contribution of $125 m ($100m upfront and another $25m over the next five years) by the Estate of Khoo Teck Puat.

So.... you pay 18.5% of the costs, you get a hospital named after you.....

I feel the govt should have named the hospital after Ee Peng Liang instead.

Ee Peng Liang may not have $125 million to give, but he gave so much to Singapore as Mr Charity.

It's sad they prefered the cash of other people.......
