SINGAPORE: A book
commemorating the life and work of Singapore's first Finance and Defence
Minister, Dr Goh Keng Swee, was launched on Monday.
Titled "DR

President S R Nathan at the Istana. It is published by the S Rajaratnam
School of International Studies and World Scientific Publishing.

features a collection of personal stories, essays and reflections from
officials, former ministers and others who knew Dr Goh from as far back
as his student days in London in the 1950s. The book also provides an
insight into Dr Goh's working habits and his problem-solving
capabilities.
Dr Goh died last year, aged 91.
