Mr Goh said about Mr Tan's suggestion: 'I don’t think this should be the way.'
SINGAPORE: Presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian reiterated on Tuesday that he and George Goh should discuss who will step down if both qualify for the Presidential Election to not split the votes among non-establishment candidates.
Speaking to reporters at a walkabout in Jurong West, the former NTUC Income chief executive said he still expects either he or Mr Goh to qualify. “If both of us qualify, I still think it is a good idea that we should discuss who should step down because it’s not good to have a split vote among those who want to have an independent president.”Every candidate who comes forward “must be genuine”, Mr Goh told reporters after a dialogue session with a group of youths at Bisoux cafe.
