SINGAPORE — Chew Jia Tian, who died while kayaking off the coast of Sentosa on Sunday (Oct 22), was a soft-spoken, polite and hard-working student at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), where she earned her degree in nursing.
She was also active in alumni activities, and was an inspiration to the SIT community, said Associate Professor Elaine Siow, programme leader for the SIT nursing, health and social sciences cluster.
Toa Payoh North Cats founder Rina Li said: "I started the project in November 2019, and she was one of my first supporters and donors. "She was a really generous, humble, and kind lady," said Li, who works as a bank officer. "Friendly, even though she didn't know me when she first reached out to help."
She added that even after they were no longer working together, Chew always made the effort to stay in touch, and they met whenever they could.
