[edit] The "MRT Man"

As I have mentioned before, I failed to mention an important man in the development of the MRT, someone who was nicknamed as the "MRT Man" for his efforts. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his name, and my only memory of his existance was in newspapers articles last year when he passes away. Does anyone else have information about this man? I would think he is very important for the purpose of this page.--Huaiwei 19:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I believe that the person could be Ong Teng Cheong, since he was one of the most, if not the most vocal supporter of the MRT system. I need to be sure though; I may need to make a visit to the National Library this weekend to check. A.K.R. 13:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
