At 15, Tang Jak Hao would watch his sinseh (Chinese physician) father Tang Yoon Teck at work. Without fail, he would be by his dad’s side after school, learning all about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

As Jak Hao watched his father like a hawk, he was soaking up knowledge and observing how the senior Tang interacted with his patients. Sometimes, under Yoon Teck’s supervision, Jak Hao got to treat patients as well.
