"To the new guards soon joining us, may I say this, welcome to you, some of you will discover before long, that you have joined a holy order, that expects total commitment from you, that will be your moment of truth. You will then regard the present condition of the republic, not as a pinnacle of achievement, but as a base of which to scale new height."
Quote from Dr Goh Keng Swee, Former DPM, 1918 - 2010, when he retired from politics in 1984
