Madam Kwa Geok Choo was great in many ways - as a legal luminary, as a mother of an illustrious family, and more than that, for her stoic presence next to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew during times of turbulence and tension in the many years of his political struggle. She was always by his side, giving him her full support in his chosen path in politics, sharing his preoccupation with the good of Singapore before anything else. She was his companion, confidante and counsel.
As she walked that long road with Mr. Lee, she made quiet but important contributions to Singapore, many of which younger Singaporeans only came to know about, after she passed away in October 2010.
This publication of sketches by Morgan Chua presents the milestones in Madam Kwa's life in a light-hearted manner. I hope that it would stir interest among younger Singaporeans to get to know this remarkable lady better.
