It isn’t everyday that someone celebrates turning 100. So, when Constance Choong turned 100 last October, her seven children decided to throw her a birthday bash like no other. They invited family and friends from all over the world and more than 300 guests turned up, flying in from Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore to honour Choong’s milestone birthday.

In a tribute to his mother, Daniel Chan Weng Kay put together a 20-minute slideshow which he titled, “The remarkable life of Constance Choong”, in which he gave a comprehensive account of his mother’s life.
