He played a pivotal role in the development of the Centre in its early years and continued to serve in the Advisory Board after his chairman term. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Mr Wee\u2019s active leadership in the Dementia Prevention Programme (now named Age Well Everyday) enabled scientific elderly research to be translated into a community programme, held at community centres and social service agents around Singapore, benefitting more than 1,000 seniors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">He was actively involved in sharing his inspiration on the Mind-Art interface through the Mind Art Experiential Lab project @ Alexandra Hospital in recent years. His strong advocacy in structured mindfulness training and practices in elderly and children promoted the start-up program, Mind Gym @ Alex, supporting the Alexandra and NUHS Campus nursing and medical staff.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">We hope the current and future work of the Mind Science Centre brings honour to his memory. He has given us his inspiration, and we hope to amplify his spark to illuminate the path for other members of the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">His memory, contributions and legacy will live on.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">We will be forever grateful for his contributions. Our deepest condolences to Mrs Wee Geok Hua and family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Photo credits: https:\/\/rc4.nus.edu.sg<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founding Chairman of the Mind Science Centre We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Wee Sin Tho, our&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2804,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bes","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
