A tribute to Dr. Goh Kheng Swee
Sunday, May 23, 2010





I felt it's an honored obligation, for a young Singaporean like me who is fortunate enough to enjoy the fruits of Singapore's success, to personally pay respects to one of our greatest founding fathers, late Dr. Goh Kheng Swee.

And so, I went to the Parliament House yesterday.

Here, I express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Goh, for transforming an underdeveloped Singapore into a present prosperous country, for fostering economic stability and peace in times of turbulence, for inspiring me to stand firm on my justifiable beliefs and values against superiority, like how he challenged then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's decisions during the nation-building years.

Dr. Goh, the significant achievements you have made in the finance, defence, education, recreation and many other aspects of Singapore have been and will always be fondly appreciated by generations and generations of Singaporeans, years after.

May Dr. Goh rest in peace.
