About Ho Yuen Hoe
- Ho Yuen Hoe (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Hé Rùnhao; 18 February 1908 – 11 January 2006), later in life but rarely known by her Dharma name, Venerable Jing Run (simplified Chinese: ????; traditional Chinese: ????; pinyin: Jìngrùn Fashi), was a Buddhist nun affectionately known as Singapore's "grand dame of charity" in recognition of her lifelong 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.

- In 2001, she received the Public Service Award from the President of Singapore in recognition of her contribution to the country.
- Until her hospitalisation in November 2005 she was actively involved in charity work.
- Venerable Ho died on 11 January 2006, a month before what would have been her 98th birthday.
