Based on extensive research, including interviews with family members, friends and colleagues, this is an anecdotal account of Dr Goh’s life story told by the author, his daughter-in-law. The author traces Dr Goh’s footsteps from his humble beginnings in Melaka to his days at Raffles College and London School of Economics, to his service in the Singapore Government, and, finally, to his eventual retirement.
The book traces the evolution of Dr Goh’s thought, as he moved on in life: a top student in school, a civil servant under colonial rule, a young Nationalist, and finally one of the key architects of post-independent Singapore. Dr Goh’s story is one of daring, of moral courage, and of friendships forged over many years. Above all, his achievements in helping to create the modern landscape of institutions, environments and values that constitute Singapore today represent a vital legacy for the nation’s present and future generations.
