SINGAPORE: Singapore's former senior minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Wednesday (Jul 26) said he intended to be "a President for a new era" as he officially launched his campaign for the office.

“I stepped into this race because I feel very strongly in the need to evolve Singapore's culture, some of our norms and the way we go about working with each other so that we remain a shining spot in the world,” said Mr Tharman at a press conference at the York Hotel.

The official launch comes more than a month after Mr Tharman first announced his intention to run for President. On Jun 8, he informed Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong that he was putting himself forward as a candidate, and in doing so leaving politics and the People’s Action Party.

Accompanied by his wife Jane Yumiko Ittogi on Wednesday, Mr Tharman outlined challenges facing Singapore both globally and domestically and emphasised that the nation's real challenge was to avoid becoming a divided society.

I donch understand why we bother with the process of electing an ex-PAP to be the President ? Just appoint one unashamedly and save time, money and efforts to make to the polling booth…if there is even an election in the first place.

Simple, because there are enough PAP fanboys and fangirls out there to let him win the contest to be the overpaid Istana doggie.

It will be embarrassing for the establishment if his competitors can refund their deposits.

I am sure that he can win above 50%, but some people might not like that
