The surprise
The surprise kicked off when Renee Lim, the grand-daughter of Ong and Teo, took the couple to Sentosa for a "weekend outing".

Tributes by children
At the celebration, Ong and Teoh's children -- David, Anthea and Lace -- each gave moving tributes to the couple.
Their son, David, also apologised for not being able to properly take care of his parents for the past 12 years as he was in China:

The couple's daughter, Anthea Ong, is a Nominated Member of Parliament.
Ong also gave a few words about her parents' love story:
“Your love story is an enduring one because you share similar values even if both of you have such different character traits. Your enduring love is also bound by your deep love for us, your children and the grandchildren, and underpinned by that deep sense of comfort from each other's companionship.”

阿老,陪伴是最好的寄托,我会一直陪着你的。
"Ah Lao (Hubby), thank you for being with me all these years. I’ll walk with you till the end of time."
