Dr Goh Keng Swee 1918–2010 The former deputy prime minister of Singapore, Goh Keng Swee, who was both an alumnus and honorary fellow of LSE, has died at the age of 91. His career combined front line politics in a burgeoning nation with a lifelong involvement in education and its development. Dr Goh Keng Swee was Singapore’s first minister for finance when it became self-governing in 1959, and was later minister for defence and minister for education. In 1980 he was appointed first deputy prime minister. During his time in government, he championed a pragmatic programme of industrialisation and led successful efforts to raise the living standards of citizens by attracting foreign
investment into the country. He was made an honorary fellow of LSE in 1966 for distinction in public life and outstanding services to the School. It followed a long attachment which began with a degree in economics (graduating first class in 1951). A scholarship allowed him to continue his studies with a PhD awarded in 1956. He was also executive chairman of the Institute of East Asian Political Economy (now the East Asian Institute in the National University of Singapore) and he led the establishment of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008. Dr Goh Keng Swee died on 14 May after a long illness. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter-in-law, two grandsons and three great grandchildren.
