6 Charity - In memory of Dr Goh Keng Swee (6 October 1918-14 May 2010)

The dearly missed ex-Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore not only went on to become one of modern Singapore’s pioneers, but also served terms as the Minister for the Finance, Defence, and Education ministries. In short, it is safe to say that everything we now see around us was due to his sheer brilliance, practicality, foresight and vision for the modern Singapore he aspired to create.

He was usually called in by the Minister Mentor, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, to solve many of the problems that Parliament faced, thus acquiring the nick-name “Mr Fix It”. Among the many things we are grateful to him for are: JTC, MAS, The Singapore Bird Park, The Underwater World and many more. Let us remember him and keep his legacy alive!
Do share your thoughts with us.
