Catch Singapore Presidential Candidates’ Speeches On TV & Radio For 2023 Elections

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) said on 23 Aug that it’ll provide broadcast airtime on television as well as radio for presidential candidates to make campaigning speeches.

They’ll get to deliver their campaigning messages on two days — 24 Aug and 30 Aug — across 19 TV and radio channels.

The broadcasts will be in all four official languages, IMDA said.

Candidates can deliver speech in up to 4 languages

On 24 Aug, each presidential candidate will get to deliver their speeches in alphabetical order of their surnames as reflected in the Electoral Roll:

  1. Ng Kok Song
  2. Shanmugaratnam Tharman
  3. Tan Kin Lian

IMDA says the order will be reversed for the second broadcast.

Candidates may deliver their campaigning messages in all or any of the four official languages, IMDA notes.

Presidential candidates get a maximum of 10 minutes per language per broadcast, for both broadcast days.

However, the content must be the same for all language versions of a broadcast.
