Deeply saddened by the passing of Encik Othman Wok, a founding father of Singapore. He was 92.
Encik Othman was one of the signatories of the Separation Agreement. He was a courageous champion of a multi-racial, multi-religious, and meritocratic Singapore, and one of Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s closest comrades. During Singapore’s turbulent years in Malaysia, Encik Othman came under great pressure, and even threats on his life, for his convictions. But he stood firm, and that made all the difference to Singapore.
Encik Othman was Minister of Social Affairs. He put in place measures that continue to serve the Malay community today. For example, he set up the Singapore Pilgrimage Office and the system of registration for sheikh hajis and pilgrim brokers.

Encik Othman also took an active interest in the building of the first National Stadium, and also promoted motor racing in the Singapore Grand Prix years before F1 came to Singapore.

For his many contributions, Encik Othman was conferred the Order of the Nila Utama (2nd class) in 1983.

My deepest condolences to the family of Encik Othman Wok. His passing is a deep loss to Singapore. – LHL ([1] MCI Photo by Kenji Soon / [2] ST Photo © Singapore Press Holdings Limited. Reproduced with permission.)
