Lee Hsien Loong was sworn in as Singapore’s third Prime Minister on 12 August 2004.
Mr Lee was first elected Member of Parliament (MP) in 1984 as a candidate of the People 's Action Party (PAP) and has been re-elected six times, most recently in 2011 as an MP for the Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency. He was elected to the Central Executive Committee of the PAP in 1986, and became its Secretary-General in 2004.

In 1990, Mr Lee was appointed Deputy Prime Minister with responsibilities for economic and civil service matters. He also concurrently served as Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) from 1998 until 2004, and Minister for Finance from 2001 until 2007. Mr Lee was appointed Chairman of Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) in June 2011.
At the MAS, Mr Lee initiated reforms to liberalise the financial sector and to shift the emphasis from one-size-fits-all regulation towards a lighter supervisory touch, relying more on disclosure and caveat emptor.
As Minister for Finance, he chaired the Economic Review Committee which in 2003 proposed strategies to further restructure and upgrade the economy. These included tax changes to make Singapore more competitive and a major restructuring of the Central Provident Fund system.
As Prime Minister, Mr Lee has launched policies to build a competitive economy and an inclusive society. He has

    Singapore 's strategic location on major sea lanes and its industrious population have given the country an economic importance in Southeast Asia disproportionate to its small size. The Singapore Government adopted a pro-business, pro-foreign investment, export-oriented economic policy framework, combined with state-directed investments in strategic government-owned corporations. Singapore 's economic strategy proved a success, producing real growth that averaged 7.8% from 1965 to 2009…

    Singapore and Hong Kong started both from labor-intensive industries in the 1950s and achieved the capital accumulation. But limited natural resources and scarce supply of labor signified the maturity this development model. As a result, Singapore government pushed corporates to transform towards higher value-added service using his exclusive positions on Malacca Strait, the government took advantages of energy transportations and rolled our wage correction policy to induce efficient use of labors in the 1960s. Key industries in this period were oil refining, oil exploration equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, electrical manufacturing, precision instrument engineering. By the late 1970s, Singapore's refining industry accounted for more than 30% of the manufacturing output and has become one of the world's three major refining centers. During this period, Singapore successfully achieved industrial development and the economy structures started shifting towards capital-intensive industries. Entering 1990s, Singapore just recovered from the first recession caused by weak demand and fundamental economic problems…

    Blogger Roy Ngerng created a ripple when he wrote on his blog that Singapore government used retirement fund of citizens to invest in their investment firms to earn money for themselves. The aftermaths of his words reverberated among the public and the Ministers. Some were positive but many were negative, wanting immediate fix by the public while the Ministers struggled to address many unanswered questions to contain the intensity of the issue. At the end of the whole saga, blogger Roy Ngerng lost his job and was sued by Prime Minister for defamation (The online Citizen, 2014) - a typical ending when powerful forces were challenged by an unarmed common man. In the midst of it, CPF policies were blamed for the woes of many Singaporeans, especially the lower income group while the rich were perhaps not as badly affected by these policies. Singaporeans depend on the CPF money to pay for their HDB houses, hospital bills and retirement fund. But many Singaporeans obviously feel that they never get to withdraw their own savings or rather the policies set by the government limit them from doing so.…

    Lee Kuan Yew led Singapore to independence and served as its first Prime Minister. He was regularly re-elected from 1959 until he stepped down in 1990. Lee Kuan Yew was educated in England, and under his guidance Singapore became a financial and industrial powerhouse despite a lack of abundant natural resources. Lee ruled with ultimate authority, and his zeal for law and order was legendary. In 1990, he stepped down (though he remained in the cabinet as Senior Minister and now Minister Mentor) and was succeeded as Prime Minister by Goh Chok Tong.…

    Singapore continues to rank high globally on indexes that measure good governance, especially in terms of investment and corruption (Economic Development Board, 2013). Within the region, according to Vriens & Partners’ Asia Pacific Investment Climate Index 2013, Singapore was ranked second among Asian Pacific countries, after New Zealand, for rule of law, political stability, corruption and taxation. She was ranked first in openness to international trade and businesses. Indeed, behind the rankings are principles of good governance, which her leaders use to guide policy-making, which has resulted in Singapore’s economic success despite her unique circumstances. Hence, the role of leadership in carrying out good governance is therefore, pivotal and fundamental, which will be explored further in this essay. Nonetheless, the importance of good governance is crucial in Singapore, where good governance is needed for the survival of a small country with no natural resources and a multi-racial society. Moreover, good governance is made even more complicated as Singapore is a Chinese-majority country surrounded by its larger Malay-majority neighbours, and increasing globalisation with Singapore’s open economy, has made it important to stay ahead of competition. In this essay, I will explore the main principles of good governance by Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong, and current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Fundamentally these principles are all good but reality is much more complicated, when these principles that guide policy-making result in policies that produce certain trade-offs in society. Even though leaders implement policies that can produce negative trade-offs, ultimately, the ability of leaders to keep revising policies, to intervene in ensuring an inclusive society and to recognise the mistakes made and correct them is also part of good…

    First, Dr. Goh’s thoroughness permeated his career as Minister for Finance, Minister for Education, and Minister for Defense, and paved the way for his success. According to Dr. Goh’s daughter-in-law Tan Siok Sun, who did extensive research into Dr. Goh’s life and interviewed him personally, Dr. Goh “always insisted beforehand on thorough research on any subject matter, the engagement of experts and a robust debate in Cabinet” (159). As Singapore’s first Minister for Finance, Dr. Goh was prudent with the money at his disposal. Once, he promptly denied an application for $100 million by the Minister for National Development. He retorted, “I expect every request for finance from me to be properly presented, well argued, with figures to substantiate” (Tan, 92). Dr. Goh also demonstrated thoroughness in the implementation of the Five Year Economic Development Plan (1960 to 1964), which was deferred due to Dr. Goh’s meticulous research approach (Tan, 88).…
