“Watching people fly my kites makes me really happy,” Mr Tan said.

Rolling up to Marina Barrage with a trolley bag full of handmade kites and repair tools, Mr Tan Poh Wah had one clear mission for the day: To share his love of kite-flying with others.
Known informally as the “kite doctor” among the regular visitors there, the 70-year-old spends most Sundays repairing kites or offering his handmade ones – mostly for free – to people at the open-air space that is the venue of Singapore's largest reservoir.
