I learnt about Dr W from lky book in the 80s.

Old man does pay him big tribute.

No. I dont read 自传 which wrote by themselves...
Because they will only talk good things and find a reason to justify their action.

I didn't read any of his books cos I not bookworm. But yes, in his letter to Dr W's family during his depart, it does show he has very immerse respect and appreciation towards Dr W.

Looking at the info on Dr W, I am in awe and respect! He didn't need to bother, he don't need to. But he did! He wanted us to survive and the ppl to be employed. That's very noble. Sg shd have a wax figure of him, and a good tribute to him by mentioning him widely in our forming years.

We shd always rem who lifted us esp when we are most needing, when these individuals could hv just turned their backs like many would when one is down.

Dr W, a true friend and benefactor of Singapore! Without him, we would be different today or wouldn't have come so far at this point.
