The first treasure is our reserves. I can protect the reserves. I spent my entire career at GIC and MAS helping to build up our reserves.
Our second treasure is good public administration. I worked for 45 years in public service. I have what it takes to uphold the integrity of public service appointments.
Our third treasure is our social stability, where Singaporeans have lived in peace and harmony regardless of race, religion or political affiliation.
I do not belong to any political party, and so I’m well-placed to unite the people of Singapore to face an uncertain future.
For these three reasons, I humbly ask you, my fellow Singaporeans, to choose me as your President.
He ended his speech by urging the public to vote for him in Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil.
After his speech, Mr Tharman was invited to give his.
