PAP founding chairman dies
FOR much of independent Singapore's history, Dr Toh Chin Chye captured Singaporeans' imagination as a pugnacious fighter - one who struggled for Singapore's independence, manoeuvred against the communists and, later, criticised the People's Action Party (PAP) that he helped found. Yesterday, the old political warrior breathed his last at 9.30am. The founding chairman of the PAP and former deputy prime minister died at his home in Hillcrest Estate.
