15 May 2010, In a tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, Environment and Water Resources Minister Yaacob Ibrahim hoped the young would pick up this wonderful value of perseverance from Dr Goh:
“One thing young people should learn from him is to never give up. Persevere. That’s the most important thing. If not, we wouldn’t be here today. His legacy will be very, very long – from national service to education to finance. He was an amazing man.”
