An interview of Mr Yeoh Liew Kung, the late founder of Tai Tong Ah Company, published in 1995 offered some interesting vignettes about life in Singapore in the ‘40s and ‘50s. Mr Yeoh became the principal erhu player (二胡头手) of a Teochew wayang (street opera) troupe as a teenager. His wife Madam Soon Soo Keow was an actress playing leading male (小生) roles. Like many immigrants from China in those days of widespread poverty, the couple worked hard to make ends meet. Mr Yeoh experimented with a herbal concoction to treat minor wounds and skin diseases on the side and found that it was extremely effective. So he began producing them at home in small bottles to give to friends and wayang colleagues who could not afford to see a doctor. Soon, the entrepreneur in him saw the potential to create a small business. He set up a booth next to the wayang stage so he could sell his product during breaks and make some extra income. And that was how Herbal Oil (青草油) was started all those years ago!

Life for the Yeohs was hard but satisfying. They produced bottles of Herbal Oil whenever they had time, and sold them whenever an opportunity arises while continuing to perform at the wayang in the evenings. All these while raising a growing brood of children (eight by the ‘50s!). As the business grew, Mr Yeoh was able to hire a sales team, with each salesperson paid a ‘princely sum’ of $2 per day but with a 30% sales commission upside. Those were the days of the door-to-door salesmen roaming the streets of Chinatown. In addition, the Yeohs themselves do their own selling in their small van, equipped with a loudspeaker, extolling the virtues of Herbal Oil in open-air markets and public spaces.

From humble beginnings in a street opera and a noble wish to help the less fortunate, Mr Yeoh Liew Kung founded a business that has lasted more than three generations.

Do you recognize this Hongkong actress and singer from the ‘70s? She is Candice Yu or Yu An An (余安安), perhaps best known as the first wife of Chow Yuen Fatt (周润发). In the ‘60s and '70s, Hongkong movies dominate the cinemas in Singapore, and actresses like Yu often grace the covers of entertainment magazines. Calendars that have pictures of popular actresses were proudly displayed in homes. Small businesses like Tai Tong Ah would have such calendars printed and given as gifts during the final months of the year. They were hugely popular and succeeded in raising sales significantly.

Other popular actresses were Ivy Ling Po (凌波), famous for her role as Lady General Hua Mulan (花木蘭), for which she received the Best Actress Award at the Asian Film Festival in 1964. Li Ching (李菁) was another favourite movie star of that era, who, like Ling Po acted in many huangmei opera (黄梅调)musical films.

Who is your favourite actor or actress from that era? Do share with our readers!
