| In Memory of Dr Goh Keng Swee: Architect of Singapore’s Economic, Defence and Education Policies |

Independent minded, farsighted, and realistic Dr Goh laid the foundations of the Republic’s economic, defence and education policies. More than just an expert, hard-headed technocrat, Dr Goh was broadly read in history and the humanities, deeply interested in human nature and morality, and integrated these perspectives into original thoughts on policy. A man of great personal integrity, he was deeply respected by people from all walks of life. |
