How to overcome myths

Dr Lee Kum Tatt tells me that Benjamin Franklin is one of his hero scientists who inspired him to do many of the things he did in his life.

He was deeply involved in the building of the science infrastructure Singapore needed in the early days of its development. He actively participated in the establishment of organizations to promote science and technology for national development. He launched the quality movement and R & D activities.

He encountered obstacles in the process but he managed to get many people to work with him.

You can read his blog and learn how he overcame myths that stood in his way.
