Tan shared the act of kindness on his Facebook page too, saying the PPE were either from their "converted manufacturing lines in China" or masks they have bought or procured for donations.

Tan aims to produce at least two million masks each month

Tan has previously said on April 1 that he aims to produce at least two million masks per month, which will go to Singapore and the Southeast Asian countries that need them.

He said that he "will work towards setting up a fully automated mask manufacturing line in Singapore", giving the target of 30 days for it to be set up.

Received offers to help with the mask manufacturing

Since the announcement of his plans to set up the mask manufacturing line, Tan said on Thursday, April 2, that he has received plenty of offers to help.

As a result, he has offered a link for those interested in helping to sign up.

He ended his post by saying he is "going back to working on the line".
