Associate Professor Gah-Kok, Jacob Gan
He started his apprenticeship as an EDB projects officer in 1975 after graduating from the then University of Singapore with a mechanical engineering degree. Lured by the opportunities in Saudi Arabia, he joined a Singapore-based company to manage a cargo handling operation at Jeddah Port in 1977. After failing to strike black-gold there, he returned to Singapore in 1978 and worked for a firm to set up and manage a manufacturing plant as its general manager until in 1983 when NTU (then NTI) made him an offer that excited him.
