Mr Tan Boon Hai, founder of the Hup Lee Fried Bee Hoon hawker chain, died of heart failure on May 2. He was 51.

Mr Tan, who was diagnosed with ALS – or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – in 2022, grew his parents’ economy bee hoon business from one hawker stall in Yishun to 90 outlets islandwide.

Despite having only secondary school qualifications, Mr Tan was ambitious and wrote down plans for where he wanted to take his parents’ business and how he could achieve his goals. He went on to open three more hawker stalls and even set up a factory to mass-produce chilli sauce, marinades and bee hoon that were used at the various outlets.
