SINGAPORE: Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong has said that without the contributions of the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, there would not be the Singapore miracle of today.
In a letter to Dr Goh's wife, the Senior Minister referred to him as "one of the most brilliant architects" of the country.
Senior Minister Goh said Dr Goh was a practical man full of bold and creative ideas, and when faced with a problem, he analysed it with far-sightedness and produced practical solutions.
When Mr Goh first stood for elections in Marine Parade in December 1976, it was Dr Goh who gave the senior minister advice on how to fight and win.

Comments: I believe many of my age would not know about this incredible man, Dr Goh, as I also did not know about this wonderful man until my father talked about it. After reading this article, i found out that Dr Goh was like the founder of Singapore to a certain extent. He introduced many ideas on improving Sigapore and that was very important to bring Singapore out of the third world state in the older days. He introduced national service so that Sinagpore need not depend on other countries to protect our own country.He also started the mahufacturing buisness in Sinagpore. This in turn provided job opportunities for the many jobless. Dr Goh also worked hard to promote the young economy of Singapore to foreign countries to attract them to invest in Singapore so as to provide even more job opportunities. I feel that youngsters should know more about this magnificent man who literally build up Singapore in areas of economy and defence, two of the most important elements in every country. So do you know who Dr Goh is?
