SINGAPORE - East Coast GRC MP Tan Kiat How has become a father for the third time on Aug 10, a day after National Day.

His wife’s water broke during the National Day parade.

Tan, who is also Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and Ministry of Health, said on Facebook on Aug 10 that his third child Micah was born on that same morning.

“Yesterday’s National Day Parade was exciting in more ways than I had expected,” he wrote. “Towards the end of the show, my wife’s water started leaking.”

He said that he took his wife to hospital after the parade, and even had time to drop his two other children, Isaac and Ayla, at home.

“Thankfully, baby was patient enough for Isaac and Ayla to enjoy the parade till the very end - fireworks, pledge and all!

“Feeling incredibly grateful and blessed as we welcome the newest member of our family,” Tan said, expressing thanks to the medical team who took care of his wife and new son.

“Our best National Day gift.”
