STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER GOH CHOK TONG ON THE DEATH OF MOTHER TERESA
The Prime Minister was saddened by the death of Mother Teresa. She was an extraordinary person who selflessly devoted her life to promote the dignity of all people, and in particular, the marginalised in society. Mother Teresa was a symbol of hope to the poor, the suffering and the dying. She has left behind a legacy of selfless love and deep compassion. The world has lost one of the most remarkable individuals of our times.
