"Dr Goh" - as he is affectionately known- is the architect,
engineer and hand- craftsman of modern Singapore.
With an iron hand and stern gaze, impish humor and a deep
concern for his fellow men, Dr Goh transformed the ageing,
abandoned island-fortress which was Singapore of the 1960s, into a
gleaming, ultra- modern capital of finance, commerce and
communications.
The aching, third world poverty which was Singapore three
decades ago, is now a steel-sheathed, sky-rocketed,
technology-driven metropolis.
