Summary

Dr. Goh Keng Swee?s public career spanned two eventful decades. He was a founding member of Singapore?s ruling political party, and played a significant role in creating and shaping the destiny of Singapore today. This is an anecdotal account of Dr Goh?s life-story told by the author, his daughter-in-law. Tan Siok Sun traces Dr Goh?s footsteps from his humble beginnings in Melaka, to his days at Raffles College and the London School of Economics, to his service in the Singapore Government, and to his retirement.
