SINGAPORE -- Goh Chok Tong, who led Singapore as prime minister from 1990 to 2004, announced on Thursday that he will not run in the general election on July 10, as the ruling party bets heavily on a transition to younger politicians.
Goh posted a letter to the man who succeeded him, current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, on Facebook, in which he said he made the decision to step aside "with a heavy heart" and after much consideration.
