With the right strategies, we can ensure that both wealth and values are carried forward across generations,” said Sissi Goh during the launch.In his address, Professor Tay commended Sissi’s work, highlighting the timeliness of her book in helping Singaporeans and global families navigate complex issues of wealth, governance, and generational transition.
