    Without Dr Goh encouraged LKY to support Singapore independence , do you think Singapore today still success??

    He and LKY, MP of Tanjong Pagar and Telok Ayer, both knew how poor we were then. Another heavy weight Minister should study more is Howe Yoon Chong.

    I am wondering why Dr Goh allowed LKY to use the wrong economic metric - GDP growth instead of productivity growth. Also why he allowed CPF to be used for buying HDB flat which would be worth zero at the end of the 99-year lease.

      You are suggesting Goh Keng Swee would agree with you in the way you disagree with LKY’s choice of metrics? You are being very presumptuous.😂

      @@tongfattho6913 The GDP metric is definitely wrong. Productivity is more important. You can Google search the topic. I assumed GKS being an economist would know this. Here is a tip: Read the book. Mismeasuring Our Lives. Why GDP Does Not Add Up. This was written by two Nobel Prize in Economics recipients. Pease do your homework before commenting.
