Brilliance is When the Policies, Organisations he Started and Led has Clearly Withstood the Sands of Time & became part of the Foundation of Singapore's continuing success.
A life guide once shared by a family friend: Be kind to children; Be nice to women. Children may grow up to be great people. A woman that you meet may turn out to be your future boss’s wife! 😅
Although the statement may be useful, it is problematic, because it encourages the listener to treat others well, because they may become powerful people in the future. Treating people with kindness shouldn't be primary motivated by gain but a moral conviction to be kind and fair to others. Also, the fact that a woman may be the listener's future boss's wife also implicitly implies that that woman couldn't be the boss herself - that only a man may be one. A refined dictum could be the following one:"Treat others as you want to be treated: treat children well so that they may have a good role model and also treat others well. Treat adults well, because everyone deserves to be treated well."
Dr Goh was also Education Minister. With hindsight it is clear limiting to a small % of each cohort that can go to a local university was a big mistake. Later on even "thinking" became an issue on local schools. Why?
Why did Dr. Goh not tell LKY he was using the wrong economic KPI. LKY focused on GDP instead of productivity growth? Only sustained productivity growth will lead to real wage growth and a higher standard of living. The rest is history. Singapore is still not a First World country in terms of standard of living.
What "miracle"? After 5+ decades Singapore is till not a First World Country in terms of standard of living and productivity. Were his the Swiss Standard of Living promised by PAP over twenty years ago.
Dr Goh is the brain of Singapore econony miracle and young singaporean should remember him
What miracle?
Wonderful, gracious and honorable man we Singaporeans hardly know. Thank you for sharing our Dr. Goh
Dr Goh must be credited for the Defense - MINDEF
Good for a family member of Dr Goh to tell the story. Dr Goh don't quite interested about things he achieved in the past.

Dr.Goh Keng Swee-the King Maker.
A son of soil...the TRUE ARCHITECT OF Singapore's SUCCESS by DEEDS not words thru a big mouth .. A Silent ACHIEVER!!!
Is good for future generation to know
Really enjoyable and insightful interview!

Great job Keith!
Good morning 🌄
Our pioneering leaders were just brilliant…nation before self.
Dr Goh was also Education Minister. With hindsight it is clear limiting to a small % of each cohort that can go to a local university was a big mistake. Later on even "thinking" became an issue on local schools. Why?
We can't look at the success, but also the failures in order to be holistic.
Have a look ay In Lieu of Ideology:
An Intellectual Biography of Goh Keng Swee
Ooi Kee Beng
Read it as part of the prep!
what did dr.goh say to convince the israelis advisors to stay and continue?
Why did Dr. Goh not tell LKY he was using the wrong economic KPI. LKY focused on GDP instead of productivity growth? Only sustained productivity growth will lead to real wage growth and a higher standard of living. The rest is history. Singapore is still not a First World country in terms of standard of living.
If GKS wanted a higher and higher standard of living why was GDP growth the main economic KPI used by PAP. This was a big mistake.
Funnily he wasn't born in Spore, this son of Spore
What "miracle"? After 5+ decades Singapore is till not a First World Country in terms of standard of living and productivity. Were his the Swiss Standard of Living promised by PAP over twenty years ago.
He need not write about himself ...A SILENT ACHIEVER...
Unlike a BIG MOUTH writing and dictating about his achievements done by OTHERS
