A FOUNDING father. A strong leader. A Singapore son. A dear friend. These epithets were in the tributes that poured in on Monday afternoon, soon after news broke that Othman Wok, a key member of Singapore's first Cabinet more than half a century ago, had died at the age of 92.
Mr Othman, who had been in ill-health for some time, died at Singapore General Hospital at 12.21pm on Monday, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement.
