The couple met at a party in the early 1970s, got married in 1975 and had a son and daughter. Quah Chin Siong is the grandson of Quah Chin Lai, a metal and machinery hardware tycoon and philanthropist in early to mid-20th century Singapore. This card is part of a set of documents, including postcards and photographs, recording exchanges between the couple during their courtship, leading up to their wedding ceremony.
