On the second day, Ng warned the media that the relationship between the president and the prime minister should not be "too close", as it would then be difficult for the president to discharge their duties objectively. He added that he would schedule an online rally.<a href="#cite_note-121">[117]</a> On 25 August, Tharman hosted an indoor rally at 24OWLS, which is located within Pasir Panjang Power Station.<a href="#cite_note-122">[118]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="25–30_August">25–30 August</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: 25–30 August">edit</a>]</div> On the night of 27 August, Tan Kin Lian cancelled the remainder of his walkabouts and interviews, without giving a reason for doing so.<a href="#cite_note-123">[119]</a> On 28 August, several opposition candidates and political analysts began to query Tan's being an "independent candidate" after seeing that he had received support from <a href="/wiki/Tan_Cheng_Bock" title="Tan Cheng Bock">Tan Cheng Bock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tan_Jee_Say" title="Tan Jee Say">Tan Jee Say</a> on several media outlets, along with a <a href="/wiki/Sticker" title="Sticker">sticker</a> containing a <a href="/wiki/Internet_meme" title="Internet meme">memetic</a> tagline "One Vote, Three presidents?".<a href="#cite_note-124">[120]</a> The sticker was removed as of 30 August, due to its being a violation of the campaigning guidelines under the Presidential Election Act 1991, according to ELD and Tan's team, whose principal election agent, Prabu Ramachandran, verified that the sticker was created anonymously and without authorization; unauthorized publication of physical advertising is an offence under the act.<a href="#cite_note-125">[121]</a> On 28 August, in light of Tan Cheng Bock's endorsement of Tan, Ng Kok Song questioned Tan's political independence. Ng stated that it was questionable for Tan to claim to be an independent candidate when he has been dependent on opposition party leaders, additionally accusing Tan of "making a mockery of the presidency" and that "political parties should wait for the next general election to make their point instead of confusing voters into thinking that this is a general election".<a href="#cite_note-126">[122]</a> Ng also concluded that such blatant political endorsements of Tan polarise voters by politicising the presidential election and that by doing so have "dishonoured the office of the President as a unifying non-partisan position."<a href="#cite_note-127">[123]</a> On 29 August, the <a href="/wiki/Progress_Singapore_Party" title="Progress Singapore Party">Progress Singapore Party</a> (PSP) responded that they had "denied any claims" and insisted that they would "neither endorse nor support any candidates" even when party volunteers received an email to register as counting agents for Tan,<a href="#cite_note-128">[124]</a> whose endorsements can negatively influence the party, according to their central executive committee (CEC) members.<a href="#cite_note-129">[125]</a> On the same day, Ng reiterated the meaning of non-partisan to the media during his walkabout at <a href="/wiki/Marine_Parade" title="Marine Parade">Marine Parade</a>, that Singaporeans do not want a president "who's manipulated by either the governing party or by the opposition parties", in their response to Tan's endorsements.<a href="#cite_note-130">[126]</a> Tharman Shanmugaratnam responded on media during a walkabout at Sengkang that he found it "absurd" and concerning that his rivals are "increasingly sweeping statements" pertaining to being non-partisan, to which Ng replied that he was "misquoted". Tharman urged the voters to take this seriously and felt "very unfortunate" when voters spoil their votes in response to politicisation.<a href="#cite_note-131">[127]</a> Later that evening, a police report was lodged against a man on a bicycle who disrupted and heckled Ng and his team while Ng conducted his walkabout at <a href="/wiki/Clementi,_Singapore" title="Clementi, Singapore">Clementi</a>. The man had attempted to ram people with his bicycle, launched into an expletive-laden rant, and then repeatedly shouted Tan's name before he left the scene. Nobody was hurt during the incident, and Ng encouraged people to "behave in a respectful manner".<a href="#cite_note-132">[128]</a> The man surrendered himself to the police the next day, claiming that he had posed a danger to himself with intentions to <a href="/wiki/Self-harm" title="Self-harm">self-harm</a>.

He said that the president's role would serve as a "constitutional check" on a bad government that might raid the country's reserves, or appoint incompetent or corrupt individuals to key public-service positions. He added that Singapore can "no longer take for granted" that it will always have a "good and honest" government, adding that there is a need for external checks, as with good corporate governance, and that an "ownself check ownself" system is not reliable. He also pledged to "Do Well, Do Right and Do Good" to provide resilience of body and mind.<a href="#cite_note-148">[144]</a> Tharman said that he would bring his ideal of "independence of mind" and "respect", should he be elected, and that he wanted to become a "unifying figure at home and to advance Singapore's interests abroad". He added that modern-day Singapore's democracy, as well as the current political climate in the world, were diverse but also challenging at times, concerning a political divide. He also had plans to voice views in Singapore so as to prove that Singapore would "never become just another small country" and said that he was an "optimist in our future".<a href="#cite_note-149">[145]</a> Tan highlighted two key duties of the president, given his 30 years prior experience as a CEO of <a href="/wiki/Income_Insurance" title="Income Insurance">NTUC Income Insurance Cooperative</a>. One, to safeguard Singapore's reserves, he intends to invest "prudently" with the support of the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Singapore" title="Government of Singapore">government</a> for the benefit of Singaporeans. Two, to protect the integrity of public service. He values the efforts of, and emphasises the need for, talented people with many years of working experience and possessing practical skills, not just scholars, to form a good team, and that he would give such people the opportunity to be promoted to leadership positions. He also stated that he did not intend to be an "adversary to the elected government", but said that he would collaborate more with the government and reiterated his belief in the "spirit of unity and pride", as well as connecting with ordinary people and "their hardship and aspirations".<a href="#cite_note-150">[146]</a> Prior to the broadcast, both ELD and the <a href="/wiki/Infocomm_Media_Development_Authority" title="Infocomm Media Development Authority">Infocomm Media Development Authority</a> had amended Tan's script by removing some inaccuracies, specifically on the president's role and on soliciting voters.<a href="#cite_note-151">[147]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="CNA_Presidential_Forum">CNA Presidential Forum</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: CNA Presidential Forum">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/CNA_(TV_network)" title="CNA (TV network)">CNA</a> forum was held on 28 August at about 21:09, with Otelli Edwards hosting.

Furthermore, he publicly apologised in response to the criticism he had received over his social media posts about women from some sectors of the public, specifically from the <a href="/wiki/Association_of_Women_for_Action_and_Research" title="Association of Women for Action and Research">Association of Women for Action and Research</a> (AWARE). He added that he would be "more mindful of what I say" going forward. Tan also highlighted that one could factor his experience as president from making "sound investment decisions" at NTUC Income and from representing the country in an international insurance federation.<a href="#cite_note-155">[151]</a> Tharman highlighted his track record of connecting with people from all backgrounds in his former Taman Jurong division of <a href="/wiki/Jurong_GRC" class="mw-redirect" title="Jurong GRC">Jurong GRC</a>, from when he was a member of parliament (MP) of the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Action_Party" title="People's Action Party">People's Action Party</a> (PAP) for 22 years—his ministerial positions including being <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Finance_(Singapore)" title="Ministry of Finance (Singapore)">Minister of Finance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Deputy_Prime_Minister_of_Singapore" title="Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore">Deputy Prime Minister</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Senior_Minister_of_Singapore" title="Senior Minister of Singapore">Senior Minister</a>—and from his experience working with international organisations such as the <a href="/wiki/G20" title="G20">G20</a>, the <a href="/wiki/International_Monetary_Fund" title="International Monetary Fund">International Monetary Fund</a> (IMF), the United Nations (UN), and the <a href="/wiki/World_Economic_Forum" title="World Economic Forum">World Economic Forum</a> (WEF). He also mentioned that the demands on the president have increased due to the "new and challenging future" where Singaporeans faced an increasing trend of "profound global risks and uncertainties", and to "differentiate him from an actual partisan candidate", stressing that his motives, despite his political background, have "never been politically partisan".<a href="#cite_note-156">[152]</a> Ng warned that politics in Singapore have become "highly contestable". He added that the country cannot afford to have a president who may be beholden to political parties, to serve their agenda, and reiterated the flaw in relying on an "ownself check ownself" mechanism. He believed the current generational transition of the ruling <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Action_Party" title="People's Action Party">People's Action Party</a> (PAP) government carries "uncertainties and risks" which have been due to scandals plaguing the party over the past month – such as the arrests of Transport Minister <a href="/wiki/S_Iswaran" class="mw-redirect" title="S Iswaran">S Iswaran</a> over allegations of corruption, and the resignations of MPs <a href="/wiki/Tan_Chuan-Jin" title="Tan Chuan-Jin">Tan Chuan-Jin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cheng_Li_Hui" title="Cheng Li Hui">Cheng Li Hui</a> over an extramarital affair. He also alluded to Tharman, by questioning whether it is appropriate for an ex-finance minister who "had set fiscal policies to then move across the table and become the president and be a check on the very policies that he had put in place". He also brought up the 1984 <a href="/wiki/National_Day_Rally" class="mw-redirect" title="National Day Rally">National Day Rally</a> speech of then Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Lee_Kuan_Yew" title="Lee Kuan Yew">Lee Kuan Yew</a>, stating that Singaporeans should be aware of "silver-tongued politicians who make empty promises". He concluded that Singapore needs a truly independent president, like himself, to break from its past of having a president always endorsed by the PAP, to protect the country's reserves from being squandered by a potential rogue government.<a href="#cite_note-157">[153]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Social_media">Social media</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Social media">edit</a>]</div> All social media events and campaigning occurred in 2023, unless otherwise stated, and are listed in chronological order. <table class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="font-size:90%"> <tbody><tr> <th style="width:4em;">Date </th> <th style="text-align:left">Event </th> <th style="text-align:center"><abbr title="Ng Kok Song">NKS</abbr> </th> <th style="text-align:center"><abbr title="Tan Kin Lian">TKL</abbr> </th> <th style="text-align:center"><abbr title="Tharman Shanmugaratnam">TS</abbr> </th> <th style="text-align:left">Method </th> <th style="text-align:left">Venue/Social Media Channel </th> <th style="text-align:left">Source </th></tr> <tr> <td>17 August </td> <td>TDK Podcast No. 234 </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>Online </td> <td>Grvty Media/YouTube-The Daily Ketchup Podcast </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-158">[154]</a> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td>23 August </td> <td>PE2023 Full Interview Podcast </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td>Online </td> <td>YouTube-Zyrup Media </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-159">[155]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>23 August </td> <td>PE2023 Full Interview Podcast </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Online </td> <td>YouTube-Zyrup Media </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-160">[156]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>23 August </td> <td>PE2023 Full Interview Podcast </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>Online </td> <td>YouTube-Zyrup Media </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-161">[157]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>24 August </td> <td>CNA Speaks to Presidential Candidate </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>Televised </td> <td>Mediacorp/YouTube's CNA channel </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-162">[158]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>25 August</td> <td>Election Meeting </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Physical </td> <td>Pasir Panjang Power Station </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-163">[159]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>25 August </td> <td>NUSS Meet The Presidential Candidate </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>Hybrid </td> <td>NUSS Guide House/YouTube-Ng Kok Song </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-164">[160]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>25 August </td> <td>CNA Speaks to Presidential Candidate </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Televised </td> <td>Mediacorp/YouTube's CNA channel </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-165">[161]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>25 August </td> <td>TDK Podcast No. 236 </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td>Online </td> <td>Grvty Media/YouTube-The Daily Ketchup Podcast </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-166">[162]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>26 August </td> <td>NUSS Meet The Presidential Candidate </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td>Hybrid </td> <td>NUSS Guide House/Facebook-Tan Kin Lian </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-167">[163]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>26 August </td> <td>CNA Speaks to Presidential Candidate </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td>Televised </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Mediacorp" title="Mediacorp">Mediacorp</a>/YouTube's CNA channel </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-168">[164]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>27 August </td> <td>Ask The Next President Anything </td> <td>✔ </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Online </td> <td>SPH Media/YouTube-The Straits Times </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-169">[165]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>28 August </td> <td>Presidential Forum </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Televised </td> <td>Mediacorp/YouTube's CNA channel </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-170">[166]</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>30 August </td> <td>TDK Podcast No. 238 </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>✔ </td> <td>Online </td> <td>Grvty Media/YouTube-The Daily Ketchup Podcast </td> <td><a href="#cite_note-171">[167]</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Campaign_expenditures">Campaign expenditures</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Campaign expenditures">edit</a>]</div> On 20 October, the presidential candidates' expenditure reports were published by the Elections Department.

Institute of Policy Studies Senior Researcher Gillian Koh suggested that the voters would find it difficult to resist Tharman's "unparalleled international standing". Associate Professor of law at <a href="/wiki/Singapore_Management_University" title="Singapore Management University">Singapore Management University</a> <a href="/wiki/Eugene_Tan" title="Eugene Tan">Eugene Tan</a> predicted that people would "assume his victory is a foregone conclusion" but that should not be taken for granted. Tan thought it praiseworthy that the three candidates had experience in making strategic decisions with regard to the management of large funds, as well as having fine reputations.<a href="#cite_note-:18-232">[228]</a> Analysts had differing views regarding <a href="/wiki/George_Goh" title="George Goh">George Goh</a>'s ineligibility to run for the presidency. Mustafa Izzuddin, a senior international affairs analyst at Solaris Strategies Singapore, was surprised that Goh was ineligible. To him, Goh could bring something unique to the table, due to his private sector experience. It would give voters an additional choice. Eugene Tan agreed with Goh being ineligible, highlighting the difference in calculating the required shareholder equity of S$500 million on the basis of one, versus many, companies. To him, one S$500 million company is different from running five hundred S$1 million companies. Therefore, he felt that the <a href="/wiki/Presidential_Elections_Committee" title="Presidential Elections Committee">Presidential Elections Committee</a>'s decision was understandable.<a href="#cite_note-:18-232">[228]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="During_campaigning_period">During campaigning period</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: During campaigning period">edit</a>]</div> On 27 August, <a href="/wiki/National_University_of_Singapore" title="National University of Singapore">National University of Singapore</a> (NUS) Sociologist Ern Ser Tan noted on <a href="/wiki/LinkedIn" title="LinkedIn">LinkedIn</a> that there was an "undercurrent" with the election turning on maintaining the current political order versus seeking regime change, with the likelihood of political transformation. He added that, with <a href="/wiki/Tan_Kin_Lian" title="Tan Kin Lian">Tan Kin Lian</a>'s involvement with <a href="/wiki/Tan_Cheng_Bock" title="Tan Cheng Bock">Tan Cheng Bock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tan_Jee_Say" title="Tan Jee Say">Tan Jee Say</a>, the election has become clearly defined by the differences between the political orders of the ruling government and the opposition.<a href="#cite_note-233">[229]</a> NUS Arts and Social Science Lecturer Rebecca Grace Tan was reported to have referred the term 'Independent' to that of the People's Action Party, and that Tharman's decisive win wasn't decisive in signifying that non-partisanship was the primary deciding factor for many voters. Tan's opposition support sowed further doubts about the advantages of being non-partisan.<a href="#cite_note-234">[230]</a> In light of the "One vote, Three presidents?" slogan which surfaced on 28 August, political observers began to query Tan Kin Lian about the assertion that he is an "independent candidate". Eugene Tan commented that "It effectively asserts that if Tan (Kin Lian) wins, he will attempt to transform the presidency into a partisan institution" and further stated that a non-partisan president "must be above the political fray". Eugene Tan believed that party endorsements or endorsements by politicians can make the president beholden to the opposition politicians and ruin the presidency.<a href="#cite_note-:20-235">[231]</a> School of Social Sciences, at the <a href="/wiki/Nanyang_Technological_University" title="Nanyang Technological University">Nanyang Technological University</a> (NTU), Assistant Professor Walid Jumblatt Abdullah's analysis suggests that Tan Kin Lian was attempting to position himself as the "ultimate anti-establishment candidate". Felix Tan, another lecturer at NTU, said that voting for Tan would suggest voting for opposition, which belies being non-partisan,<a href="#cite_note-:20-235">[231]</a> and that Tan's smear campaigning brought doubt on his being worthy of standing as a candidate.<a href="#cite_note-236">[232]</a> He also stressed that the relationship between general and presidential elections is "conflated" and that can affect democracy.<a href="#cite_note-237">[233]</a> In a radio interview on MONEY FM 89.3, on "Breakfast with Lynlee Foo and Ryan Huang" on 30 August, Eugene Tan praised the widespread use of social media to communicate in the election.<a href="#cite_note-238">[234]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="After_the_release_of_election_results">After the release of election results</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: After the release of election results">edit</a>]</div> When the sample counts were released on 2 September, political analysts suggested that Tharman's personal charisma and past track record and experience, including his constituency of <a href="/wiki/Jurong_GRC" class="mw-redirect" title="Jurong GRC">Jurong GRC</a> being the best-performing constituency for two consecutive elections in 2015 and 2020, may have attributed to a landslide victory, as opposed to Ng's lack of public exposure and Tan's previous controversies, which to <a href="/wiki/Eugene_Tan" title="Eugene Tan">Eugene Tan</a>, cited in the <a href="/wiki/CNA_(TV_network)" title="CNA (TV network)">CNA</a> Polling Day results special, was a "mind-boggling" result. Eugene Tan also highlighted Tan's relationship with opposition parties, stating that Tan had "too [many] oppositional forces [involved in] his candidacy". In addition, Tan's campaign had a misconception of what the president did as well as expressing views that were perceived as "misogynist, racist, [and] even nativist", which a majority of Singaporeans overwhelmingly rejected.<a href="#cite_note-:21-239">[235]</a> Eugene Tan also noted that the slight decline in turnout and an increase in spoilt votes meant that the election "generally [did] not make much of a difference" and was an effort at a "protest vote". He added that "the drop would be rather significant as this would signal that there might still be those who have some concerns with how the Presidential Election was run". During the <a href="/wiki/2011_Singaporean_presidential_election" title="2011 Singaporean presidential election">2011 presidential election</a>, turnout was 94.80% (of which 1.79% or 37,849 votes were rejected), while during the 2023 presidential election, turnout was 93.41% (of which 1.98% or 50,152 votes were rejected).<a href="#cite_note-:21-239">[235]</a><a href="#cite_note-:19-199">[195]</a> The reactions of other political analysts to the election results varied, such as NTU political analyst Dr Felix Tan saying that it was "rather unexpected and it's quite a surprise", and emphasising that "establishment versus anti-establishment" might have attributed to the anticlimactic result; and NUS Associate Professor Chong Ja Ian criticising the result, stating that what Tharman had was a huge advantage against "two weak opponents" and feeling that the result was to elect "strong candidates like everyone else". Chong highlighted the short campaigning period of just nine days, as well as Tan's "negative spillover effect" onto opposition supporters, as contributing to both Tan's and Ng's respective decisive defeats.<a href="#cite_note-:21-239">[235]</a> Following the election, Gillian Koh thought that the landslide was the result of the "Tharman effect", a term which was coined during the 45th <a href="/wiki/St._Gallen_Symposium" title="St. Gallen Symposium">St. Gallen Symposium</a>, in 2015, where Tharman was one of the participants.<a href="#cite_note-240">[236]</a> Tharman's campaign was acclaimed by several analysts. Eugene Tan pointed out that Tharman's slogan, "race is never absent, but it is not the only factor", would be seen as signifying an evolution of the nation, praised the voters for voting for the merits of his personal qualities and track record, and praised the PAP government for promoting "multiracial meritocracy". In another interview, on the <a href="/wiki/Mothership_(website)" title="Mothership (website)">Mothership</a> website, Eugene Tan said that "Singaporean voters are sophisticated" and that they have treated the presidential election as it is and not as "a proxy general election or a referendum on the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Action_Party" title="People's Action Party">People's Action Party</a> (PAP)". In answer to a question on how the result will be an indication of the <a href="/wiki/Next_Singaporean_general_election" title="Next Singaporean general election">next Singaporean general election</a>, he warned that the PAP should not treat this result as the "ground being sweet", reminding that parliamentary elections are different, as they are elections between parties rather than individuals.<a href="#cite_note-241">[237]</a><a href="#cite_note-242">[238]</a> Leong Chan-Hoong also praised Singaporeans over the results, agreeing that they have voted "about trust of the candidate", over certain doubts and past issues pertaining to the scandals and <a href="/wiki/List_of_resignations_from_government" title="List of resignations from government">resignations</a> from the PAP government prior to the election.<a href="#cite_note-243">[239]</a> However, Ng's mention of the "ownself check ownself system" which had been borrowed from opposition parties – specifically from <a href="/wiki/Pritam_Singh_(Singaporean_politician)" title="Pritam Singh (Singaporean politician)">Pritam Singh</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Workers%27_Party_(Singapore)" title="Workers' Party (Singapore)">Workers' Party</a> (WP) who first coined the term back in 2011 – also raised concerns, citing that it was "very difficult for someone to set up the system to question the system". Analysts implied that voters should also understand the importance of the authority of the president, in addition to the "bread-and-butter issues".<a href="#cite_note-244">[240]</a> <a href="/wiki/Singapore_Management_University" title="Singapore Management University">Singapore Management University</a> visiting professor Lee Kong Chian, and former <a href="/wiki/Nominated_Member_of_Parliament" title="Nominated Member of Parliament">Nominated Member of Parliament</a> and Legal Adviser to the President and Council of Presidential Advisers <a href="/wiki/Walter_Woon" title="Walter Woon">Walter Woon</a> said that, in an election like this, the <a href="/wiki/First-past-the-post_system" class="mw-redirect" title="First-past-the-post system">first-past-the-post system</a> only really works when there are two contenders, and that <a href="/wiki/Walkover" title="Walkover">no-contest</a> elections are bad; but that having too many contenders could also be undesirable.<a href="#cite_note-245">[241]</a> He also said that party politics are inevitable, but they are not necessarily decisive. He added that pundits who could predict the trend of Tharman's clear mandate should "take nothing for granted", and that the victory was an unusual one for a multi-candidate contest, which hints at the possibility that there is another establishment candidate who will be able to repeat this feat against a more formidable opponent in future presidential elections.<a href="#cite_note-246">[242]</a> According to journalists at <a href="/wiki/The_Straits_Times" title="The Straits Times">The Straits Times</a> (ST), in a podcast on 4 September, a "contextualized" traditional campaigning is still effective and voters must be prepared to adapt to such scenarios. In another podcast, with ST's multimedia correspondent Hairianto Diman and deputy news editor Grace Ho, it was pointed out that the election would be seen as determining who would represent in a global-level and the generational changes ahead for the government.<a href="#cite_note-247">[243]</a> In commentary published on <a href="/wiki/CNA_(TV_network)" title="CNA (TV network)">CNA</a>'s website, former newspaper editor Han Fook Kwang wrote that the election results are politically significant, as the large margin of victory Tharman enjoyed undermines a claim previously made by members of the Singaporean government that older Singaporeans are not ready to accept a non-Chinese as prime minister.<a href="#cite_note-HFK-PE2023-9">[8]</a> The results were also seen as undermining an argument for a PAP race-related policy that culminated in the enactment of the hiatus-triggered model for presidential elections (in the case for <a href="/wiki/2017_Singaporean_presidential_election" title="2017 Singaporean presidential election">2017</a>), where candidacies in certain presidential elections are reserved for people of certain minority races.<a href="#cite_note-TW-PE2023-2">[1]</a> In an article posted on Mothership, editor Sulaiman Daud commented that Tharman's high probability of winning did not make this election "a charade",<a href="#cite_note-248">[244]</a> but cited Tharman's slogans of "hard carry" and "October Surprise" as contributing to his decisive win. Daud also weighed other factors, such as the competition between the other two rivals, or what Singaporeans want in its next President.<a href="#cite_note-249">[245]</a> Another editor, Tan Min-Wei, also praised the contests and how the election went smoothly, citing a quote from a 1999 American <a href="/wiki/Political_drama" title="Political drama">political drama</a> <a href="/wiki/The_West_Wing" title="The West Wing">The West Wing</a> that "decisions are made by those who show up".<a href="#cite_note-250">[246]</a> <a href="/wiki/Republic_Polytechnic" title="Republic Polytechnic">Republic Polytechnic</a> chairman and chief executive officer of Economic Development Innovations Abel Ang said that people like Tharman believed that people lacking common experiences are "unhealthy for Singapore", and that the life of the haves is increasingly looking different from those who have-not. He also referenced a <a href="/wiki/Sesame_Street" title="Sesame Street">Sesame Street</a> song "The People In Your Neighborhood", one of his favourite songs, as encouraging unity.<a href="#cite_note-251">[247]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Inauguration">Inauguration</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2023_Singaporean_presidential_election&action=edit&section=42" title="Edit section: Inauguration">edit</a>]</div> Tharman Shanmugratanam's inauguration took place at <a href="/wiki/The_Istana" title="The Istana">The Istana</a> on Thursday, 14 September 2023, at around 19:40, marking the start of his six-year term as <a href="/wiki/President_of_Singapore" title="President of Singapore">President of Singapore</a>.<a href="#cite_note-252">[248]</a> Similar to preceding presidents after <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Sheares" title="Benjamin Sheares">Benjamin Sheares</a>, Tharman said he would not be residing at The Istana so that he would remain actively involved with Singaporeans.<a href="#cite_note-253">[249]</a><a href="#cite_note-254">[250]</a> Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Lee_Hsien_Loong" title="Lee Hsien Loong">Lee Hsien Loong</a> gave a speech where he said that the election meant the voters had said that the "race is a smaller factor now" and Tharman's election was "on his merits, by an overwhelming majority". Lee added that he respected Tharman's "long and distinguished" career and would look forward for their cooperation.<a href="#cite_note-255">[251]</a> In Tharman's inauguration speech, he swore to be "scrupulous and independent" in fulfilling his presidential role and to carry out the president's custodial powers. He also promised to unify Singapore, to "make us a better society, and add to our ballast as we face a more turbulent world", citing "we only truly succeed when we succeed together".
