Lee Kuan Yew says son will do good job - Singapore

Advertisements [?]

AP , SINGAPORE
Wednesday, Jun 23, 2004,Page 5

Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew said his son is being appointed prime minister because he is more committed and passionate about the city-state's future than other potential leaders, a newspaper reported yesterday.

The son, Lee Hsien Loong -- who is now deputy prime minister, finance minister and the central bank chief -- is widely expected to take over from current Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in August.

He would become the country's third prime minister since independence in 1965.
