On Sunday I forgot to mention that the Haw Par Villa I visited over the week-end was actually created by one of the sons of Aw Chu Kin, Aw Boon Haw for his brother Aw Boon Par. They are the ones who brought their father’s creation to Singapore, the Tiger Balm, in the beginning of the 20th century. Since then it surely became a household name beyond the sunny shores of the island state. And the villa became the quintessential house of Chinese folklore.
