SINGAPORE (DPA): Former United States President George Bush called on Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in Singapore yesterday, officials in the island republic said.

Bush was in Singapore overnight on a private visit, according to a U.S. Embassy spokesman.

"It's strictly a private visit. He (Bush) is a private citizen," the spokesman said.

Bush met Goh at noon in a suite at Singapore's historic Raffles Hotel.
