Ho Yuen Hoe, later in life known as Venerable Ho (simplified Chinese: 净润法师; traditional Chinese: 淨潤法師; pinyin: Jìngrùn Fǎshī; 18 February 1908 – 11 January 2006), was a Buddhist nun affectionately known as Singapore's grand dame of charity in recognition of her life-long devotion in helping the old and needy. She was the abbess of Lin Chee Cheng Sia Temple and the founder in 1969 of the Man Fut Tong Nursing Home, the first Buddhist nursing home. Venerable Ho was relatively unknown to the public until 1996, when she was featured in a television programme – The Extraordinary People – at the age of 88. As a result, the public came to know more about her work and her nursing home. In 2001, she received the Public Service Award from the President of Singapore in recognition of her contribution to the country.
Born on 18 February 1908 to a poor family of silk weavers in Guangzhou, China, she was sold when she was five years old. In her late teens, she was persuaded to emigrate to Singapore after she was promised a job that did not materialise. She later left for Hong Kong, hoping for better fortune, but returned to Singapore again after a failed marriage. Her hard work, coupled with her frugal lifestyle, allowed her to save enough money to buy a shop house. She eventually became a landlord. Venerable Ho died on 11 January 2006, a month before her 98th birthday.
