  Yes, a relative of mine worked with the lady at the Social Welfare Department in the 50's. She was well-liked by colleagues and a very humble individual. No airs about her! Those who knew her, had empathy for her ,when she was divorced from Dr Goh. . May God bless her soul!

  Despite Dr Goh being a brilliant leader, respect and admiration for him by those in the older generation, are somewhat scarred, by his eventual divorce of this lady, for someone incomparable.

  May God bless her soul!

  Please be respectful.
