SINGAPORE — If Singaporeans choose him to be the next President, the country can have “the best of three worlds”, said presidential hopeful Ng Kok Song on Saturday (Jul 29) as he gave some personal reflections on the elected presidency.
Speaking to reporters at the sidelines of the Asia Cat Expo 2023, Mr Ng said that if he is elected President, former senior minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam can return to the government to serve Singapore as he has done for the last 22 years.
He noted that all three potential candidates have explained what they would do if they are elected president, but have not shared what they would do when the election is over. “I will go back and grow my company … so that Avanda can become a homegrown Singaporean investment management company that Singaporeans can be proud of and which will contribute to the further development of Singapore as a financial centre,” he told the media.
One significant role of the President is to safeguard the integrity of key appointments in the public service, he noted. “I think those are very important functions that the President and his council of presidential advisors should be doing to scrutinise and ensure the integrity of our public service,” he added.
