LEE HSIEN LOONG: Politically in America, it's not possible to talk about free trade without conceding that environment and labor rights and labor standards and human rights have to be part of the formula somewhere, not necessarily in the core of the WTO, but somewhere it has to be taken in to consideration.
LEE HSIEN LOONG: I think in the sense that trade leads to economic development and economic development is going to open up the society and lead to new pressures and demands, that's quite true.
LEE HSIEN LOONG: No, because they believe that they have a formula, and it's a formula for all mankind, and it's good for you, and furthermore, it's a matter of moral duty that you should do this.

LEE: If you look back say 10-15 years, there's a change already in the way people are able to come forward and participate and give their time, and the intensity of whether we can get people to do that.

SINGAPORE - Lee Hsien Loong, the son of Singapore’s founding father, will take over as prime minister of the city-state on Aug.12, his office announced on Saturday.
Lee, 52, replaces Goh Chok Tong - who acknowledged last year that handing power to the son of founding father Lee Kuan Yew may appear to be a dynastic succession, but insisted it wasn’t.
Loong’s public persona is that of a no-nonsense, uncompromising and tough minister,” Goh said in announcing his successor in August last year.
