Why this record matters
“Tan Mui Buay” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Buay, Singaporean and wushu provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131302735. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1986, 1989, 1991 and 1993.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
