He is the best principal I ever had for my schooling years. Still remember him walking around during night study and even teaching us concepts when he saw that we are stuck on a few qns. Will remember his care and his plural sentences. :) I was from Nan Chiau High btw.

Im currently a sec 2 student in NCHS, still remembered last year i got high fever at the start of the school year and i was sitting in the General Office waiting for my parents, he came in and like really cared about my condition (i was really touched, considering the fact while the GO auntie gave me cold shoulder and was really mean to me until the principal actually appeared).
Literally, it was at that moment, i felt i did, chose a good school with such a great principal :) Thank you Mr Tan
and yeah...He's not in Nan Chiau anymore, he's currently in Chung Cheng High Yishun. was only with him for one year, but he's the best principal ever
