Watch this video here to hear from the family-run Heng Foh Tong Medical Hall where four-generations of family members pitch in to support the business in various ways. From weighing and preparing herbs and herbal concoctions, brewing herbal teas and drinks, to implementing an online e-commerce platform and SafeEntry requirements, no job is too big or small for the Lee family who takes pride in running this Medical Hall in the heartlands of Bukit Batok.

Theatre Today was established in 2016, by experienced Theatre Director, Drama Educator, Creative Producer, Jeffrey Tan. Theatre Today celebrates the diversity of stories and lived experiences through experiential workshops, commissions or site specific productions. Jeffrey conceptualized OPEN HOMES (2015, 2017 and 2019), where residents became Host Storytellers, who shared personal stories from their own homes. OPEN BUSINESS at the Singapore Heritage Festival focuses on traditional family business.
