Yahoo Poll: Do you agree with ESM Goh that Ho Ching would have made a good minister?
A book about Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong is making waves lately with its many revelations about various prominent figures.
One such revelation was that Goh, in the early ’80s, had approached Ho Ching – while she was working in the Ministry of Defence, and before she married current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long – to join politics. Ho Ching is currently CEO of Temasek Holdings.
Goh had thought “she had the intellect and the attributes we were looking for”, adding that “she would have made a good minister, a different kind of minister”. She did not say no, but rather, not at [that] stage.
