More stories of the late great David Bowie and his fondness for Singapore. Filmmaker Kagan Goh — the son of late cultural medallist Goh Poh Seng —recounted on Facebook about Bowie's special relationship with his dad, who risked everything to bring the icon here.
In case you don't know who Goh Poh Seng is, he was a bonafide Renaissance man. A doctor as well as a businessman, dramatist, novelist and poet, he was a major figure of cultural aspiration for Singaporeans, and that culminated when he received a Cultural Medallion in 1982 for his contributions to literature. He struggled from Parkinson's Diseases in his later years and passed away in Vancouver, Canada on Jan 10, 2010.
