Timeline
In 2018, Tan published a book on his life called Tan Kai Hee: Soaring Without Fear And Regrets.
At his 80th birthday dinner in January 2017, he announced that he would give most of his Hai-O shares, reportedly worth over RM100million, to a trust fund he had set up to fund charitable works.
As he approached his 80s, Tan decided to hand over the day to day running of the company to his son Tan Keng Kang in 2016. The following year his wife Tan Siow Eng died.
In the initial years following his release in 1973, Tan struggled to get a job. However, his luck turned in 1975, when he founded Hai-O Enterprise, a company that imported herbs and medicines from China.
In 1965, he was arrested alongside other Socialist Front leaders such as chairman Hasnul Hadi and secretary-general Tajuddin Kahar as they were planning a demonstration to commemorate the second anniversary of the detention of former Setapak MP and Socialist Front leader Ahmad Boestamam.
He also contested in the 1964 elections in Damansara the seat that had been won by Karam Singh Veriah in 1959. However, he was narrowly beaten in a three-way contest by 546 votes as Michael Chen Wing Sum of the MCA/Alliance Party got 9,144 votes while he obtained 8,602 and PAP's Lam Khuan Kit trailed in third with 3,191 votes.
A protege of Labour Party leader Dr M.K. Rajakumar, Tan was one of a number of very young Socialist Front candidates in the 1959 general elections including V. David, who was elected Bangsar MP at the age of 26, and Karam Singh Veriah who won in Damansara aged just 22.
This gave him an understanding of the difficulties faced by the poor and he joined the Labour Party of Malaya in the 1950s, rising to become its deputy secretary-general in the early 1960s. At that time the Labour Party was part of a powerful multi-racial coalition with the Parti Rakyat Malaysia called the Socialist Front (Malayan Peoples' Socialist Front).
Tan Kai Hee (8 January 1937 – 22 February 2022) was a notable figure in Malaysia who was firstly a socialist politician and political prisoner. After many years of detention without trial, he returned to civilian life and started a traditional medicine business Hai-O which made him a multi-millionaire. He continued to fund a number of progressive causes through philanthropy.
