Author Description

The story of Dr Baey Lian Peck should be well known, but it is not. Not even among Singaporeans, and especially not among the young. This tells us a lot about a Singapore caught in pathological haste and prone towards ignoring values that do not add to the financial bottom line. The innovativeness of Dr Baey not only made him a very wealthy man before he was forty, it also made him an indispensable actor in the implementation of urgently constructed national policies.
