I have to write this post in English as I can't express it well enough in Chinese. This afternoon, I watched the Tribute to Dr Goh Keng Swee and Farewell to Dr Goh Keng Swee. As I watched the Tribute, my respect for this man grew tremendously. Our finance, defence, education and also industrial development in the early days were all made firm by this man. He have changed Singapore's future, made a better Singapore for younger generations like us. Yet, we don't know his contributions and for some, don't even know him. I need to admit. I only knew his name beforehand and totally knew nothing about his contributions until I have watched the Tribute this afternoon. He was indeed a great man. A great man with ideas, motivation and the courage to 'fix things up' as mentioned in the Tribute. Without him, Singapore won't be the same. He was the thinker, MM was the executor. If the role is being switched, Singapore definitely will have a different outcome. The fact that we are able to live comfortably is due to this great man's contribution and we should never forget him. The state funeral followed after the Tribute. The eulogies given were inspiring and touching, especially from his grandniece. I am really touched throughout her eulogy. As younger Singaporeans, we really need to understand and remember all the things that were done by Dr Goh. His contributions set the foundation and the framework for us. I am fortunate I am born in Singapore as if it weren't this case, I won't be living a peaceful and comfortable life now. I am also fortunate to have founding fathers like Dr Goh to fight for our rights and build the country during the most difficult times. After watching and reading so much about Dr Goh, there is one thing that I think we young Singaporeans should remember and learn this saying 'Dream for the best, Prepare for the worst'. Young Singaporeans are sheltered since young, we did not face wars, riots or any difficult times as in the early days. This is why we need to toughen ourselves up, as we may only know how to dream but never prepare. Let's move on and believe that we can make a difference in our ways as we are Singaporeans. Farewell, Dr Goh Keng Swee. Labels: Dr Goh Keng Swee, 杂谈 |
