Both Dr. Goh Keng Swee and Mr. Rajaratnam has done some good contributions to Singapore.
-One of which done by Dr. Goh, was the creation of National Service. It is the mandatory conscription system for able-bodied youg males. This contribution is quite important to Singapore as at least an army to protect it, rather than to be defenceless and surrender to other conquering countries.
-One major and important contribution that Mr. Rajaratnam has made that he helped bring a multi-racial country to come together as one united people, regardless of race and religion as one democratic society. He helped end the racial riot that happened in 1964.
I weighed the balance of gravity between this two main contributions i found, i think i would have to side with Mr. Rajaratnam for this round. Without his contribution to Singapore, everyone would be torn apart. All the races and religons would be against each other like a civil war inside the country.If not because of Mr. Rajaratnams contribution, i would not hace some of my closest friends from other religions and races. I am not saying that Dr. Goh's contribution was useless but, an army would be nothing if they weren't bonded like one big family. Thus, i have to side with Mr. Rajaratnam. So all i have to say is: "Thank you!"
