Appreciation to Minister Mah Bow Tan


William Tay
'National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan's remarkable story about his childhood years is a lesson for the younger generation. Despite his humble beginnings, he was able to uplift himself to become a government minister. This is testimony to our system of meritocracy which has enabled talented young people from humble backgrounds to rise up and serve the nation.'

I AM a 58-year-old Singaporean who shed tears on reading last Saturday's article, 'Mah's own upgrading story', in which National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan recounted his difficult childhood years growing up in various housing types. Today, I live in an HDB maisonette. Thank you, Singapore.
