Prof Low went on to suggest that a Tan Kin Lian win may be the most disastrous for Singapore. Drawing a parallel to former U.S. President Donald Trump, Prof Low said that Mr Tan represents a form of populism that appeals to nativism and potentially racism
SINGAPORE: As Singaporeans eagerly anticipate the results of the 2023 Presidential Election tonight with a keen interest in how the race will shape the nation’s future, academic Donald Low has expressed his hope that establishment picks Tharman Shanmugaratnam will win big as he compared his rival Tan Kin Lian to former American President Donald Trump.
Prof Low said that if Mr Tharman secures a significant victory, receiving well above 60 per cent of valid votes, it would signify several important trends in Singaporean politics. Firstly, it would indicate that a substantial majority of Singaporeans are comfortable with a non-Chinese leader, highlighting a growing inclusivity in the nation’s politics.
Notably, Prof Low highlighted the irony that the candidate who has never been a PAP member, Mr Ng Kok Song, aligns more closely with this mainstream neoliberal view than the other candidates. According to Prof Low, this has led to Mr Ng’s difficulty articulating a coherent vision for Singapore.
