SINGAPORE — Presidential candidate Tharman Shanmugaratnam said late on Friday night that he was"truly humbled" by the result of the sample vote count that projected him winning the Presidential Election with a landslide 70 per cent of the votes.
By comparison, at the last contested Presidential Election in 2011, the winner, Dr Tony Tan, secured about 35 per cent of the total votes cast in a four-way contest. "It will have to be a future where we have deeper respect for each other as Singaporeans, it will have to be a future that ensures that every generation gets the confidence of knowing that we have reserves and we have the backing that will help us in the future come what may.
Flanked by his supporters, many of whom were carrying pineapples — his campaign symbol — Mr Tharman said it was now a start of a whole period of duty and responsibility. Asked by a media representative about the need for a reserved election given his projected win, Mr Tharman said:"This was a contested election with a multi-racial slate. I've always said that race is never absent in politics anywhere in the world or even in an apolitical election of this case.
