Goh Keng Swee: A Singaporean For All Seasons A Graphic Novel

Dr Goh Keng Swee: The architect of Singapore’ s economy. The man who built the SAF from scratch. The brains behind Jurong Bird Park and Sentosa; the Renaissance man who mooted the founding of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Not forgetting, his role in setting up DBS Bank, the Economic Development Board and the Jurong Town Corporation. But how did this academic, by his own admission a reluctant politician, transform from an ideas man into founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew’ s chief troubleshooter? This is the premise of this graphic novel, Goh Keng Swee: A Singaporean for All Seasons. A graphic novel that celebrates the visionary man behind the Jurong Industrial Estate and one of the country’ s brightest minds.
