Back during a time in Singapore when veterinarians were non-existent, a five-year-old boy from a humble background loved animals so much that he knew deep in his heart he was going to be a vet one day. Of course, he had never even heard of the term, “veterinarian,” much less how to become one, but that didn’t stop him from chasing his dream.
Dr. Tan Hwa Luck qualified to study medicine, but amid family objections, chose instead to become a veterinary surgeon. As one of Singapore’s pioneer & pre-eminent vets, Dr Tan also founded the Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group.
