Brilliance is When the Policies, Organisations he Started and Led has Clearly Withstood the Sands of Time & became part of the Foundation of Singapore's continuing success.
Dr Goh was also Education Minister. With hindsight it is clear limiting to a small % of each cohort that can go to a local university was a big mistake. Later on even "thinking" became an issue on local schools. Why?
Why did Dr. Goh not tell LKY he was using the wrong economic KPI. LKY focused on GDP instead of productivity growth? Only sustained productivity growth will lead to real wage growth and a higher standard of living. The rest is history. Singapore is still not a First World country in terms of standard of living.
What "miracle"? After 5+ decades Singapore is till not a First World Country in terms of standard of living and productivity. Were his the Swiss Standard of Living promised by PAP over twenty years ago.
