'A comet that burnt out too quickly': Arts administrator Tan Boon Hui dies at 53 from stroke complications
www.todayonline.com
In a press release on Thursday, Arts House Limited described Tan, who joined the organisation in February last year, as a "steadfast champion of creativity and the arts", who engaged extensively with local and international artists.
As executive director, Tan oversaw key national projects last year and this year, including the Singapore International Festival of Arts, the Singapore Writers' Festival, the management of Stamford Arts Centre, and the launch of Our Cultural Medallion Story, a showcase of achievements by local award-winning artists.
Tan obtained undergraduate and postgraduate degrees specialising in geography from the National University of Singapore, and forged his early career as an assistant curator with the Asian Civilisations Museum.
He went on to assume various leadership positions at that museum, the Singapore Art Museum and the Asia Society in New York, making significant contributions to arts platforms such as the Singapore Biennale and Singapore Art Week.
'A COMET THAT BURNT OUT TOO QUICKLY'
Mr Ong Keng Sen, the artistic director of T:>Works and founding festival director of Singapore International Festival of the Arts, also knew Tan for more than 20 years, describing him as a "huge fighter who wanted to live".
"So we have lost an ally in the arts, but also more importantly, I think we've lost a person with the passion, therefore it's a big loss. I think that he is a comet that burned out too quickly," added Mr Ong, 58.
He said Tan was "excited, voluble when it came to discussing art" with an infectious love of the arts world.
Tan could also deeply engage with the most difficult art and translate it into something that the layperson could understand.
"Art was all encompassing for Boon Hui. He worked art, breathed art, his hobby was art," said Mr Ong, adding that Tan was a rookie director of theatre works.
"He loved food. We would eat together and discuss everything under the sun about art. I will always remember his care for artists and for artwork."
Multidisciplinary artist Angie Seah, 43, who met Tan at the Singapore France festival in Paris and Lyon in 2015, described him as a very grounded person in spite of holding significant authority in his field.
"He's such a foodie you know. Boon Hui knows all the nice places for food around Arab Street, where our art house is."
She recalled the final time she met Tan for a meal at a coffee shop at the end of Aliwal Street on New Year's Eve.
"We had such a nice meal even though it's just duck rice. Along with being such a good storyteller, he always made me laugh," she said.
"I feel a sense of loss that I couldn't spend more time with him. I am going to miss him a lot."
Tan was unmarried. He died in hospital following a stroke in May this year.
A wake for him will be held at Singapore Casket, Level 4, Crystal Hall on Saturday, from 3pm to 9pm, and Sunday and Monday from 11am to 9pm.

What causes strokes and heart attacks? As we grow older, our arteries tend to narrow as fatty and fibre-like materials build up on the inner walls. If an artery gets sufficiently narrow, a blood clot may form and block the artery. If this occurs in an artery supplying blood to the heart muscle, it will restrict the heart's supply of oxygen, causing angina (a crushing chest pain) or a heart attack. If this occurs in an artery bringing blood to the brain, it can cause a tia (transient ischaemic attack) or a stroke. How can Cardiprin 100 reduces the stickiness of platelets (the clot-forming part of blood), making them less likely to form a clot and helping to prevent blocking of blood vessels.

Good info. Will seriously think about taking it. I lead a very healthy lifestyle. Except for the heavy smoking and drinking
And speaking of 100mg aspirin, 45mg Glycine, did you know there is a swiss made watch brand Glycine? Founded in 1914. Their flag ship models are the Glycine Airman series.
He was very disappointed that he was not called up for a tea session.

It makes your blood thin and squeezes through all the blockages in your clogged vessels to reach your cock to give you a full erection.

I think that there is a sequence problem here
Blood thinners can cause complication as well
If you get a deep cut, you cant clot and bleed out
If you just take potassium chloride without thinking about dosage, you get heart attack
Get a blood test, then decide from there
