The Turban Tide was a xenophobic perception of a mass immigration from the Indian subcontinent to the United States during the late 19th century.
By the late 19th century, fear had already begun in North America over Chinese immigration supplying cheap labor to lay railroad tracks, mostly in California and elsewhere in the West Coast. In xenophobic jargon common in the day, ordinary workers, newspapers and politicians uniformly opposed this "Yellow Peril". The common cause to eradicate Asians from the workforce gave rise to the Asiatic Exclusion League. When the fledging Indian community of mostly Punjabi Sikhs settled in California, the xenophobia expanded to combat not only the East Asian Yellow Peril, but now the immigrants from British India, colorfully described as the Turban Tide (a reference to Sikh Turbans as almost all of the immigrants at the time were Punjabi Sikhs).
Anti-miscegenation laws discouraging interracial marriage between white Americans and non-whites affected South Asian immigrants as early as the 17th century, when the East India Company brought over Indian indentured servants to British American colonies, and continued into the early 20th century. In the early 20th century, the Bengali revolutionary Dr. Tarak Nath Das's white American wife, Mary K. Das, was stripped of her American citizenship for her marriage to an "alien ineligible for citizenship."

Gethin-Jones and Trythall Hoy Davies
As an entrepot, Singapore saw an increase in trading and commercial activities in the 1950s. Population growth was accelerated organically in the migrant and local communities, and also through the influx of expatriates. To serve this population, two medical clinics, helmed by Drs Gethin-Jones, Drs. David Trythall, Campbell Hoy and John Davies, emerged as one of the first few medical practices catering to the new and emerging corporate health sector. As expatriates themselves, Drs Gethin Jones and Drs. Trythall Hoy Davies served predominantly the foreign-based companies and large local companies; in particular, the shipping and banking industry as well as the newly formed factories as Designated Factory Doctors.
In 2010, Fullerton Healthcare Group was established through the acquisition and merger of Drs Gethin-Jones and Trythall Hoy Davies. As a practice with over 50 years of experience, the Group has grown to become a strategic partner for corporate healthcare to their clients in Southeast Asia.
The founders
Fullerton Healthcare Group was founded by Dr Michael Tan and Dr Daniel Chan. They currently head Fullerton Healthcare as CEO and Deputy CEO respectively with over 10 years of experience practising as Doctors themselves, as well as in the role of senior management and administration of a local hospital. Both Dr Michael Tan and Dr Daniel Chan have had experience in managing Joint Commercial International accredited hospitals in Singapore.
In 2008, Dr Michael Tan and Dr Daniel Chan, held senior executive positions in ParkwayHealth Group from 2003 to 2010.
