Mr E.W. Barker was one of our founding leaders. He drafted the founding documents of modern Singapore & helmed five different ministries, including as our first and longest serving Law Minister.

A natural sportsman, he excelled in every sport he played. He is best loved for his contributions to developing Singapore’s sports scene - building our National Stadium and as President of the Singapore National Olympic Council.

His larger than life character was not defined by the public offices he held. He "never referred to himself as a Eurasian Minister" - he was a Singaporean first.
