Alright, since the Presidential election is coming, so I guess I shall write about it.
Basically, Mr Nathan will be stepping down as Singapore's sixth president. He is currently 87 years old and he oldest local president to hold this appointment of leadership. Since he is stepping down, therefore one must replace him. As a result, 4 men : Tan Cheng Bock, Tan, Tan Jee Say, Tony Tan and Tan kin lian will competing one another to be elected to be the next president. Well, I will be writing about their key focus and what are my opinions about their perspectives.
Mr Tan Cheng Bock wanted the Office of the elected presidency to be a place to help Singaporeans be united, promote multi-racialism and put Singaporeans as his first priority. The reason why he chose to focus on unifying the people was because he felt that, after the general elections, the people were divided.
Mr Tony Tan said that he could work with the government to improve economic policies. He aims to help strengthen the nation's ability to weather the current financial uncertainties and protect the reserves. He could also champion the Singapore brand and raise its profile abroad, creating more opportunities for Singaporeans and businesses.
Mr Tan Jee Say with a focus on the urgent need to change our economic strategies and policies.
Mr Tan Kin Lian said that he wanted to be the people's voice and basically, he wanted to follow the footsteps of first elected president Mr Ong.
The focus of these four men are meaningful and some of them are not really stating the reason why they want to run for president election. Nominees such as Mr Tony Tan and Mr Tan Cheng Bock stated their stand firmly which sounds convincing. However, I think if they have voiced the measures they are going to take if they elected as a president would sound even more convincing. In my opinion, a president is someone who represent a country. He is like a joint, connecting the people with the government. He should work closely with them and ensure peace, harmony among people and the government.
