SINGAPORE — Nearly a quarter-century after he took off his surgical scrubs to don party whites, Dr Ng Eng Hen still looks at issues — including Singapore's survival — with an oncologist's trained eye. «Basically, when you are presented with a problem, you ask: What is the root cause?» he said. «Rather than trying to get at the symptoms, what is the core diagnosis?» Dr Ng had been asked how Singapore can stay secure and relevant in a more uncertain world. The answer always has to come from asking itself what its place in geography and history is, he said. «Some people wish the world to be friendlier, protect small countries, to find space for all countries, but that is not the reality,» the 66-year-old said in his farewell interview with local media at the Ministry of Defence on May 13. «For Singapore, I would say the starting point is we take the world as it is — not as we wish it to be, no matter how much we wish it to be,» added Dr Ng, who has helmed the defence portfolio since 2011 and was first elected as an MP in 2001.
