SINGAPORE (dpa) - Former US president Bill Clinton met with Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday following a night golf game with Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong. Clinton, who arrived in Brunei last evening, has been to Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan since he and former President George H.W. Bush went to four countries in two days last month on a tour of regions ravaged by the December 26 earthquake-spawned tsunami.
In addition to Lee, Clinton called on Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founding father. Clinton and Goh last played night golf in Brunei in 2000, when Goh first broached the idea of a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. It became reality under Clinton's successor, President George W. Bush. Brunei Online
