Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has paid homage to Ratan Tata who made valuable contributions to Singapore’s economic transformation, calling him a true friend whose legacy will be cherished in the country.
The former Tata Group chairman passed away on Wednesday evening aged 86.
In a post on Facebook and other social media platforms, Wong on Thursday said Ratan Tata had a long association with Singapore.
“He was a true friend of Singapore and we will cherish his contributions and legacy.” “He was a strong advocate of our country, and made valuable contributions to our economic transformation,” said Wong.
The Tata group has a large presence in Singapore since the late 1960s when JRD Tata visited Singapore.
