Poetic Obituaries: The Kuala Lumpur-born doctor [Goh Poh Seng] was educated

in Dublin and moved to Singapore in 1961. Apart from running his medical practice, he expressed his thoughts in poetry, prose and plays. He cultivated contemporaries such as literary pioneer Edwin Thumboo, 76, and nurtured writers such as Robert Yeo, 69, with his magazine Tumasek and a regular meeting of creative minds called Centre 65.

A prolific writer, his themes ranged from inter-racial marriage to the Japanese Occupation.
