Under
Kwan Hong Kee’s leadership, he acknowledged and recognised
the importance of tending the graves of departed family members.
As the head of the family, he made provision to maintain and
care for the graves by providing shares in Kwong Sing &
Co. (Refer to the Red book for the list of share distribution)
Over a period of time, this tradition has been eroded by the
lack of support from the company. Some family members continued
to maintain the family gravesites without funds from the trust
set up by their father. Chinese families annually visit the
gravesites of relatives to pay their respects. This tradition
of recognising one’s ancestors is practiced by Chinese
families all over the world and is important part of Kwan Hong
Kee’s teaching.
