The Second Goh Chok Tong Cabinet was formed after the 1991 Singaporean general election and dissolved for the 1997 Singaporean general election. The new Cabinet was formed due to Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong, calling a snap election, seeking a strong and fresh mandate after succeeding Lee Kuan Yew as prime minister.{{cite web | url=https://www.straitstimes.com/politics/ge2015-a-look-back-at-the-last-5-general-elections-from-1991-to-2011 | title=GE2015: A look back at the last 5 general elections from 1991 to 2011 | accessdate=2 January 2019}}{{cite web | url=http://archive.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/2283_91.htm | title=ELECTIONS HELD IN 1991 | accessdate=2 January 2019}}
