><))o> To PM Goh
#He was a humble man who never intended to step into politics and yet devoted the past 14 years of his life into leading Singapore. He was a man who injected humor into serious issues and made those issues seem less daunting. He was a man who was cool, calm and collective on all occassions. He was in a position where he sometimes has to make unpopular decision and yet, his popularity soared. Children loves to play with him...aunties even ah mahs blush at the sight of him. He is Mr Goh Chok Tong.
'Many of you have thanked me for taking care of Singapore. Tonight, I want to thank you. ' PM Goh
#The sentence above, taken from PM Goh's National Day Speech, touched me a lot. It just shows what a down to earth man that PM Goh has always been. I remember a day ago, i grabbed the morning papers (for the first time in the life) just so that i could find out what post will Mr Goh be receiving in the new Lee Cabinet. To my delight, Mr Goh is now Senior Minister! Well...although it is a well-known fact that the power which SM wields is much less compared to the PM himself, i'm still happy to know that Mr Goh will be staying around in the Cabinet. Yesterday, my gang and i were in the library when we started discussing about Mr Lee and Mr Goh....and we all love Mr Goh! We are just drooling over his pictures in the newspapers...haha...its crazy yes...but Mr Goh is just likeable and if he should suddenly vanish from the politics scene, i would feel very worried for Singapore's future...which is why i felt more reassured when Mr Goh is named Senior Minister. As for the upcoming junior PM Lee, let's just wait and see how he performs...
#I'm watching the Swearing-In Ceremony now. When Mr Goh arrived, everyone present clapped! Not even Mr Lee Kuan Yew himself received such a welcome! This just shows how well-liked Mr Goh is!
#Mr Goh in my eyes, is truly a Singaporean who served on behalf of Singaporeans. Thank you Mr Goh (though i doubt he will ever read this!).
