After getting over his grief, Hsien Loong married Ho Ching, who has two sons studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Both Ming Yang’s children and her own have been raised by her in a kind and sensible manner. In addition to being a filial daughter-in-law, she was a kind and considerate sister-in-law.
Personal attention of Ho Ching
He was sent to Dover Court Preparatory School, run by the British. For secondary school, the mother, Ho Ching, carefully looked for a principal who would look after him and accept him as a strong boy in the class. Many schools just said no, we don’t have the resources. He went to Zhonghua, not a popular school. The principal was compassionate. He’ll take him. And Yipeng flourished. He passed his ‘A’ levels eventually, took more time, more years, because he’s disadvantaged, and can’t see well.
His course mates in university found him thoughtful
During the funeral of his grandmother, he showed his thoughtfulness by comforting his grandfather.
Ho Ching a good mother
I think when my son’s (Lee Hsien Loong) wife died. His whole tent collapsed. The pole was struck down. I said at the end of the day you have to move on. Moving on means you have to find a woman who will marry you and accept these two children. I said, “You better make sure that she accepts your two children otherwise it’s a real misery. You’ll be sad, your mother will be sad, I’ll be sad.” Ho Ching came in fully aware that she’s walking into a family. She has been a good mother to the children. In fact, she’s bent over backwards for them, as a result of which my granddaughter has not enough discipline.”
