Sinnathamby Rajaratnam (Tamil: சின்னத்தம்பி ராஜரத்னம்), DUT (First Class), (25 February 1915 – 22 February 2006), was a Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore from 1980–85. He took office when former deputy prime minister Goh Keng Swee, a long-serving Minister, member of the Cabinet from 1959–88, and short story writer, stepped down from the position. He was one of the pioneer leaders of independent Singapore as it achieved self-government in 1959 and later independence in 1965. He devoted much of his adult life to public service, and helped shape the mentality of Singaporeans on contemporary issues. One of the schools of Nanyang Technological University is named the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in honour of him, as is the S. Rajaratnam block of his alma mater, Raffles Institution.
