Grandson seeking to unmask man behind the face mask


Fact-finding mission: A delegation consisting of Dr Wu’s descendants and scholars visiting the Penang-born epidemiologist’s clinic at Jalan Sultan Idris Shah in Ipoh.

IPOH: He invented the face mask which saved countless lives and now his descendants, who know little about his later years, seek to unmask the man that he was.

“We want to find out more about what he did and his life in Ipoh,” said Huang Jiankun, who is the grandson of prominent Penang-born epidemiologist Dr Wu Lien-Teh (pic).
