Comrade Tan Kai Hee departed on 22 February 2022. Pusat Sejarah Rakyat Berhad (PSR) would like to thank him and his late wife and comrade Tan Siow Eng, for kick-starting the organization with a generous donation about a decade back. Board members and members of PSR are writing their individual eulogy to this great friend on the PSR website.
Comrade Tan Kai Hee was a founder member of the Tan Kah Kee Foundation in Kuala Lumpur, which commemorates the Tan Kah Kee Spirit with an award to deserving recipients. What is the Tan Kah Kee Spirit? Surely, none other than Tan Kai Hee himself is a most befitting recipient of this award.
Tan Kai Hee belongs to the Merdeka Generation that fought for the independence of Malaya from British colonialism. He began as a student activist in Singapore on May 13, 1954, Chinese High School Student’s protest against compulsory military service under British rule. That historical movement revived the open and peaceful struggle for Merdeka after the brutal suppression of the so-called Emergency of 1948-60.
Returning to Malaya, which later became Malaysia, Kai Hee continued his constitutional non-violent struggle for Merdeka and a new nation under the Labour Party. It was there that he forged his lasting friendship with the late Dr. Rajakumar, who was also my dear comrade from our youthful days in the University Socialist Club in Singapore. I believe it was through Dr. Rajakumar that I became acquainted with Kai Hee much later.
Imprisonment under the ISA (Internal Security Act) in the 1960s was the unavoidable baptism of fire awaiting all left-wing political activists, who desired a nation and society that would treat its poor and working-class, justly and with dignity. No less than such a fate befell Kai Hee.
Emerging from Batu Gajah Detention Camp in the early 1970s, Kai Hee and his wife Tan Siow Eng, went on to found the successful enterprise Hai-O. Thus was born the well-known philanthropist, Tan Kai Hee.
However, Tan Kai Hee the philanthropist remained rooted in his vision of the multi-racial, multicultural Malaysia that he had fought for. Answering Zhou Enlai’s Bandung Conference call for ethnic Chinese outside of China to adopt their new homeland, he was, above all, a proud Malaysian Chinese and not an overseas Chinese. His abiding friendship with Dr. Rajakumar and Usman Awang, the beloved Poet Laureate and People’s Poet, testifies volumes to this principled stand.
As a philanthropist, he generously gave his wealth back to society to charities that uplift the human condition but the initiatives that hold a special place in his heart are those that advanced his dearly held vision of a united multi-racial and multicultural nation that is advanced, just and appreciative of its poor and working people. Who could be more deserving of the Tan Kah Kee Spirit Award than Tan Kai Hee himself?
With enduring respect,
Poh Soo Kai

向陈凯希致敬
前新加坡社会主义阵线副秘书长
政治拘留者傅树介医生 （“人民论坛”译）
马来西亚人民历史中心全体同仁仅此感激他与他的太太，已故陈秀英同志在约10年前为中心的成立慷慨捐赠启动资金。本中心同仁在本网站个别撰写了我们对这位伟大致敬的文章。
陈凯希同志是吉隆坡陈凯希基金会的创始人。这个基金会为未来几年他的精神而设立的。他受之无愧。
陈凯希是属于马来亚人民反对英国殖民主义统治者争取国家独立的一代。他从1954年513华校中学生反对英国殖民主义者强征兵役学生时代开始就是一名活跃分子。众筹学生反对英国殖民主义者强征兵役是在1948年到1960年英国殖民主义者实施所谓的《紧急法令》后，掀开了马来亚人民为争取祖国独立而进行的公开与和平的斗争。
马来亚联合邦成立，后来马来西亚诞生，凯希为争取独立进行了非暴力的斗争。为此他在马来亚劳工党的旗帜下继续斗争。他在参加了马来亚劳工党后与已故拉惹古马医生建立了友谊。已故拉惹古马医生是我年轻时代在马来亚大学新加坡分校的社会主义俱乐部的战友。我是通过拉惹古马医生与凯希结识的。我在后来才认识他。
在1960年代的《内部安全法令》下，所有的政治活跃分子都无可避免地面临着被逮捕监禁的威胁。政治活跃分子们渴望实现一个能够公正、有尊严地对待穷人和工人阶级的国家和社会。凯希也避不开面对着这种命运。
于1970年代，陈凯希与他的太太陈秀英从马来西亚华都亚也监狱获得释放后设立了一个成功的企业海鸥。从此之后，陈凯希就成为了一名著名的慈善家。
无论如何，陈凯希的慈善活动是建立在马来西亚的多元种族、多元文化基础上。这是他一身斗争中所坚持的理想。回应1956年周恩来在印度尼西亚万隆亚非会议上的呼吁，要求居住在中国以外的海外华人接受自己定居国为祖国的号召。他在这个基础上成为了一个马来西亚的华人，而不是中国的海外华侨。他是基于这个原则基础上，与已故拉惹古马医生及著名的马来诗人与作家奥斯曼·阿旺建立友谊。
身为慈善家，他把自己所得全部回馈给了社会，作为慈善人民的生活状况。但是，在他心目中有特殊地位的愿景，那就是：推动了他对一个统一的多种族和多文化国家的深信不疑。首先是他所深切关注的清苦大众和工人阶级。
谁能够比陈凯希更配得上授予陈凯希精神奖！就是陈凯希本人。
陈凯希，我们向您致以永恒的敬意。
