As such, there is no denying the contributions Datuk Oon Phaik Choo has made to society.Son of the Teck Aun ‘Chi-Kit’ Pills founder, Boo Ng Tong, Datuk Oon Phaik Choo not only kept up his father’s legacy, but also left his own mark in the pharmaceutical world.
The late Datuk had been one of the representatives of the Chinese medicine industry in Malaysia, thanks to the iconic brand. In fact, he was even honoured as the chairman of the Malaysian Chinese Medical Association in 1999. Datuk Oon Phaik Choo had worked then to develop traditional Chinese medicine in Malaysia and spearheaded the build of the association’s building.
He’d also been notably active in several associations yet remained focused work pertaining to education and charity, such as funding underprivileged students, building schools and repairing roads. This later earned him the title of “Datuk” by the Head of State of Penang in July 1995.Kee Loong added that his father had happily celebrated his birthday in July in Bangkok, Thailand with his family and staff. However, two weeks ago, he was reportedly admitted to the hospital after a nasty fall.
