Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some did not expect him to last long as Prime Minister. Few predicted he would succeed in the footsteps of Lee Kuan Yew. When Goh Chok Tong took over as the second Prime Minister of Singapore in 1990, many -- from within and without the country -- wondered aloud if the young country would survive Lee Kuan Yew.But Goh would confound the naysayers, leading Singapore for 14 years through recessions, terrorist attacks, electoral setbacks and even a mysterious virus. Standing Tall captures the transformation of a political leader, evolving from a Prime Minister with a touch of naïvety to a hard-nosed strategist. He would introduce some of the country's most controversial policies, including the foreign talent scheme and formula for ministerial salaries, while advancing a kinder and gentler Singapore with the likes of MediFund and Edusave.The unchartered post-Cold War world which Goh stepped into posed challenges to the new leader, yet he not only cemented but also expanded Singapore's global space and stature. Along the way, he overcame hurdles from Bill Clinton's administration, exchanged quips with Nelson Mandela, and even saved Li Peng from a possibly severe heart attack.This sequel is written by author and journalist Peh Shing Huei, who also penned . Through interviews and access to People's Action Party documents and Goh's notes, this authorised biography uncovers rare insights into Singapore politics. Standing Tall tells the untold story of the Goh Chok Tong years, as he continues with Singapore's transformation into a global city.Bundle set: The Goh Chok Tong Story (Volumes 1 & 2)Chinese Version: 登高望远：吴作栋传 (第二辑)吴作栋传 (两册)Related Link(s)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goh Chok Tong Story -- now in its entirety. This riveting duology spans the colourful years through Goh Chok Tong's humble beginnings working at a container shipping company to his political ascension through the ranks of the People's Action Party, and his indispensable tenure as the second Prime Minister of Singapore. A must-read for all interested in extraordinary stories of ordinary men, the Goh Chok Tong years, and the history of Singapore's biggest political and economic stories come to life on these pages. Volume 1: Tall Order As Singapore faces another generational political transition, the story of Goh Chok Tong is perhaps more relevant than ever. At heart of this volume is the relationship between Goh Chok Tong and Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew, and their private deliberations before Singapore's maiden handover. Offering a rare look into both the man and the politician, Tall Order charts the early career and ascendency of an inspiring Singaporean statesman. Volume 2: Standing Tall In the face of private doubts and public naysayers, Goh Chok Tong led Singapore through 14 years of his premiership. With shrewdness and diligence, Goh helmed the country through obstacles, including terrorism, electoral setbacks and a global recession, while championing welcomed innovations like MediFund and Edusave. Standing Tall captures the growth and evolution of a modern political leader whose strengths and values cemented the identity of a country confident in its future and ascendent on the global stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goh Chok Tong was an improbable Prime Minister for an unlikely country. Not by the norms and logic of most developing Asian countries. He had neither the connections nor the cunning to rise to the top, and was even once famously derided by his mentor Lee Kuan Yew for being "wooden" in his communication skills. Except for an imposing height most unusual in this part of the world, he was an ordinary man. He lost his father at a young age, lived in a two-bedroom public flat with his mother and four siblings and needed a government bursary to complete university.
