Tan Cheng Bock, a critic of the ruling PAP endorsed outsider Tan Kin Lian, said it was vital for the president to be independent of the ruling establishment given the position’s role as a gatekeeper of the country’s vast reserves.
Dr Tan Cheng Bock, along with other opposition parties, endorsing Tan Kin Lian's bid for the presidency is "unhealthy and worrisome", said Ng Kok Song on Sunday (Aug 27). Ng was speaking to reporters at Chinatown Complex, just hours after his opponent Tan Kin Lian announced an endorsement by 2011 presidential candidate Dr Tan Cheng Bock. He said what happened.
Former 2011 presidential candidate Dr Tan Cheng Bock, 83, has come out to lend his support to former opponent and current presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian, making a surprise visit at a walkabout at People's Park Food Centre early Sunday morning (Aug 27). They were also joined by Tan Jee Say, 69, another former 2011 presidential candidate and Tan Kin.
