		The next year, when the PAP won the general election and control of the Singapore Government, GOH was elected a member of parliament and named Minister of Finance.
		As keeper of the public purse, GOH's task was unenviable; government finances were in a sorry state, reflecting dwindling entrepôt trade and rising unemployment.
		In electing GOH KENG SWEE to receive the 1972 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Government Service, the Board of Trustees recognizes him as chief economic architect in transforming Singapore during the 1960s into Southeast Asia's most industrially and socially vibrant state, where all benefit from prosperity.

		The book further explores how Goh's developmental thinking and practices may be utilised by policy-makers in developing economies within the Southeast Asian region and further abroad.
		Goh's work in fact makes clear that developmental success is transferable between nations given the presence of pragmatic policy-makers.

		He played a major role, however, with regard to the diplomacy, such as with the agreement of the transfer of public-administration software for the development and management of Suzhou's Industrial Park with then Vice-president Li Lanqing on February 26, 1994.
		On the other hand, some Singaporeans and foreigners have criticized Lee as elitist and even an autocrat, and that the economic prosperity under Lee was achieved at the expense of much political and social freedom.

	How do we lost out in technological excellence ? - sgForums.com :: Singapore's Online Discussion Network
		If you can use the criteria set in Goh Keng Swee's days as yardstick for performance, it will be clear that we are falling short of objectives - social, political and entrepreneurial by the 1980s.
		Goh Keng Swee targeted at economic progressions from labor-intensive to technological value-added development.
		So Singapore lost the original direction set in Goh Keng Swee's days and by the 1980s, we are promoting conceptual pro-foreign economic strategies which did not work so well due to our lack of understanding of technologies or the knowhow among our planners to attract or encourage them.

		During the three decades in which Lee was in office, Singapore grew from a Third World country into a financial and economical powerhouse, despite its lack of natural resources and small population.
		He is widely respected by the people of Singapore, and has often been mistakenly credited as the architect of its prosperity, a role played by his Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Goh Keng Swee, who was in charge of the economy.

		The plan for the economy was overseen by the capable Goh Keng Swee, the new Minister of Finance, whose strategy was to encourage foreign and local investment using a wide variety of measures, ranging from low tax rates and tax holidays to the establishment of a new industrial estate in the Jurong area.
		The other deleterious effect of squatter settlements, was that many of these were built of highly flammable materials, were poorly constructed and thus posed a high fire risk.
		In 1990, Lee Kuan Yew passed the reins to successor Goh Chok Tong, who saw the country through some of its most serious postwar crises, including the 1997 Asian financial crisis and SARS in 2003.
