He also noted that Mr Ng had a credible track record, having been the former chief investment officer of GIC.
The electorate was mature enough to look beyond that, and consider his personal track record, he said. Assistant Professor Walid Jumblatt Abdullah of Nanyang Technological University’s School of Social Sciences called Mr Tharman’s win a “resounding victory”. Dr Chong Ja Ian, associate professor of political science at NUS, noted that Mr Tharman’s 70.4 per cent vote share was not far off from his historical vote share when leading Jurong GRC at previous general elections.
“It does show that Singaporean voters are willing to support the right sort of establishment candidate,” said Dr Chong. While Mr Tan must have been “compelling to listen to” as he expressed concern about the daily livelihoods of the people, Dr Koh said most also knew that it would be difficult for him to shape policy by addressing this with the government, due to the president’s limited role.“Everyone matters, and in truth, his track record as a political leader made this credible,” she added.
