Information About
This biography of Mrs Goh Kok Kee is a record of a life, based on sound Christian principles, dedicated to a passionate belief in the human rights of all women to be protected from misery and hardship and a fierce determination to fight for this right. Resourcefully shining through the ravages of the Japanese Occupation, spiritedly spearheading the family planning movement after the Second World War, her fervent desire to be of assistance to others - especially women - did not dim despite the cruel hand fate dealt to her family, Goh is truely an exceptional woman.
