"I hope I did you proud in this life. I’d want to be your son again in our next lives. Be happy, mummy."

Was in a coma

Tan's mother was in a coma after being hospitalised on July 4, 2020.

She was unconscious and put on life support the day she was warded.

She had experienced blurry vision and giddiness prior to that.

Doctors later found out that a blood clot was pressing against her brain stem.
