	Goh Chok Tong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goh Chok Tong (Chinese: 吴作栋; (Simp.) /吳作棟; (Trad.) Hanyu Pinyin: Wú Zuòdòng; Minnan Gô· Chok-tòng; born May 20, 1941), was the second Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore from November 28, 1990 to August 12, 2004, succeeding Lee Kuan Yew.
		Goh was initially seen as a seat-warmer for Lee Hsien Loong, written off as a weak, transitionary figure, but Goh's capability to turn the tide, regaining seats and pushing up the PAP's vote share in 1997 changed the views of many of his critics.
		Goh subsequently visited other Middle-Eastern countries as Senior Minister, with a view to improving diplomatic relationships and thus gaining wider busines opportunities for Singaporean businessmen, especially in the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait.

		Goh Chok Tong said that at his speech that the biggest challenge for Singapore is how to give a correct view about China's rising and its own foothold.
		Goh Chok Tong stressed that at the beginning of 1990s, 20 percent of investment flown to East Asia (excluding Japan) was absorbed by China, and 50 percent by Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), but now the situation is reversed, China takes 50 percent and ASEAN gets 20 percent.

	InternationalReports.net : Singapore 2002
		When Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong was appointed in 1990 to fill the shoes of Singapore’s dynamic founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, some worried about whether he possessed the vigor, acumen, and vision that would be needed to keep the country on track.
		Goh said: “The U.S. has only five percent of the world’s population …but… is the world's undisputed superpower.
		In the near term, says Goh, “We can explore areas which the WTO (World Trade Organization) may not yet be moving into.” He believes that the U.S. businesses that may benefit most from the FTA are in financial services, telecommunications, insurance, and medical and legal services.

	Meet Goh, the new champion of liberalisation
		In a wide-ranging interview with the Weekend Australian this week, Goh said Singapore's growing self-confidence, notwithstanding recent economic travails, combined with the demands of the global economy, were underwriting substantial social and political change.
		Goh sees good signs for the Singapore economy in the emerging US recovery, but thinks the other two traditional engines of its growth, Japan and the surrounding Southeast Asian region, offer little prospect in the next couple of years.
		Goh's mixture of hard-headed realism, determined and continued restructuring, and his linking of economic and social liberalisation represent an important model for South-East Asia -- a region whose success or failure is of paramount importance to Australia.

		Mr Goh's predecessor as prime minister, Singapore's fabled strongman Lee Kuan Yew, once infamously described JB, as it is known colloquially, as a haven of thieves and carjackers, a remark that set off another of the many diplomatic spats that erupt between Singapore and its former ruler, Kuala Lumpur.
		In his speech, which came with a 66-page handbook taken as a state-of-the-nation address outlining the Government's agenda, Mr Goh reminded Singaporeans that, despite being in a recession, their lot in life was pretty good, even surpassing Switzerland in standard of living.
