Goh Keng Swee

So I wanted to show things that meant a lot to Pranakans that were not Pranakans.

So we even had things like the late Goh Keng Swee's golf club.

He was an avid golfer.

We had things like jigsaw puzzles from the 30s.

We can no longer talk about eviction now.

We know now that the Singapore leaders led by Goh Keng Swee had gone on to discuss with the Malaysian counterparts how Singapore can withdraw from the merger with Malaysia.

So actually, before the British withdrawal from Singapore, there was a Singaporean withdrawal from Malaysia in 1965, and we therefore became an independent country, which was something that is seen to be a good thing today, right? With all the economic growth and social stability.

But at the time, many people wondered if Singapore could actually survive.

So there was a letter that was sent to the Singapore leaders.

I think they were in London.

So the two of our top ministers, Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister, and his deputy, Dr Goh Keng Swee, they were in London.

to talk to the British Parliament and the British Cabinet.
