Wong Yiu Nam Event
Late Qing Dynasty
The Birth of WYN in China
Our story begins in the late Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu. Wong Yiu Nam (WYN) was founded by the esteemed Chinese physician Wong Yiu Nam, who dedicated his life to healing and serving the people.
With a profound understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, our pharmacy became a trusted source of relief for the people of Guangdong province, offering remedies that were both effective and deeply rooted in ancient wisdom.With a profound understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, our pharmacy became a trusted source of relief for the people of Guangdong province, offering remedies that were both effective and deeply rooted in ancient wisdom.
1935
From Guangzhou to Singapore
In 1935, merchant Mr. Yin Hing Sek established the first Wong Yiu Nam Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) store in Singapore. As turmoil and unrest swept through Guangzhou due to ongoing conflicts, many merchants and their families fled to Southeast Asia in search of safety and stability, many of them settled in Singapore.
WYN quickly became a beacon of hope, providing trusted remedies to those who had relocated to Singapore.
1976
Expansion Across Southeast Asia
Under the Yin family’s diligent management, WYN quickly became a trusted household name in Singapore, known for strict quality control and traditional practices.
In 1976, as we expanded our product range and reputation across Southeast Asia, WYN transitioned to professional management, ensuring continued growth while preserving our core values of integrity and quality.
2024
Grand Entrance into Malaysia
Building on our success in Singapore and the greater Southeast Asia Region, we took a significant step forward by opening our first store in Malaysia. This expansion marks a new chapter in our history as we continue to bring our century-old legacy of healing and trust to new communities.
Our Malaysian branch is a vital link in our growing network across Southeast Asia, where we remain committed to providing the same level of care and quality that has made us a household name throughout the region.
