SINGAPORE, Aug 27 — Opposition members endorsing presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian are trying to confuse and polarise Singaporeans by attempting to politicise the Presidential Election, said fellow candidate Ng Kok Song.
Ng was commenting on a meeting that happened earlier on Sunday between Tan, Progress Singapore Party chairman Tan Cheng Bock and Tan Jee Say, who contested in the 2020 General Election under the Singapore Democratic Party banner. “What happened today is polarisation, polarisation between some members of the Opposition and the Government, even to the extent of branding me as part of the establishment, like I’m part of the Government,” he said.
“I don’t think it is possible to divorce yourself totally from the political party which you founded and which you are still heading,” he said. “So I urge the people of Singapore not to be confused between a Presidential Election and a General Election.”Tan Jee Say, in expressing his support for Tan Kin Lian, said today in an apparent jab at Ng that he believes it is not easy for a civil servant to relay to a minister if he thinks something is not right.
He said that when that happens, it is a “healthy thing” in the GIC for the board of directors to challenge the view of the chief investment officer.
