- Launched the Singapore festival of the arts in an effort to transform S'pore to a cultural flower
- Was part of the team in the construction of our infamous Changi Airport
- Led the expansion of the container facilities of the Port of Singapore Authority
- Oversaw the construction of the Pasir Ris resort, so that the working class can enjoy the recreational life of the middles class too
- Personally designed what was probably the 1st country club for workers in the world - The Orchid Country Club
Mr OTC bid his fellow Singaporeans farewell on th 8 February 2002, aged 66, after a long battle with lymphoma. He has since then remained in our hearts with the utmost honour & respect.
