George Goh addresses comments by other presidential hopefuls Tan Kin Lian and Ng Kok Song
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event, Mr George Goh indicated that he has no plans to retract his candidacy, in response to fellow presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian's comments that one of them should withdraw if both of them are cleared to run for the Presidential Election.
Mr Goh also refuted another presidential hopeful Ng Kok Song's charge that he has yet to prove that he can safeguard the reserves, by pointing to his track record as a businessman.

Tan Kim Loan did say he is running to prevent a walkover so if both the them qualify he should withdraw.

Exactly. Either one can still withdraw before that day and back the other
I agree with Goh ~ if you want to serve, then be objective to reach the goal. Why do you need a “sacrificial lamb” ~ compete earnestly with your heart.
I would have love to vote for you Mr George Goh. I will miss you...take care of yourself and health to stand for the next PE. 😊
Admirable reply. I respect your courage and sincerity in serving Sg, Mr George Goh. My husb and i hv made up our minds to vote for you !! 😊😊

Me too.
If George can run a company, definitely he can be the president. Singapore already being operated like a company by the government and we the people are their workers/slaves.
Sorry to say TKL is just a waste of our time...
Tan strategy is to prevent all qualified candidates are from or related to the establishment, so if GG is qualify,then his work is over and can step a side liao!

Not totally true. Its either step aside for the bigger picture and greater good. The one stepping down can be Pres Advisor useful profile for doing business too and Prove his Altruism is not for Self
Yes, Geroge, you should fight with all your might!!
GG is here. Take a good look of him. Listen carefully what he always said. Specifically. This one. Sincerity. Straight forward. Knowledgeable. Patience. U may add .......... I am thanking him for comming forward n remain determined this far for Singapore.

He didn’t qualify…
Both know they won't qualify.
What is Tan talking about …? Withdraw already got no confidence might as well he withdrew now if he truly want the best for the nation. We do not want another PAP president
Cannot imagine what will happen in Singapore if this person is elected as the new president. Even before the election, he has already been very sensitive about public comments and began to defence himself and immediately shown his ugly side of himself. Looking at all previous Presidential election, no candidates vented his anger via the Mass Media,😅
Very good responds.
Good one ,is not that he keep talking about busines,but he has to answer to reporter when they raise that kind of question!
Previously, Tan Kin Lian asked Tan Jee Say to withdraw. This time, he tells George Goh, another possible candidate, to do the same. That guy hasn't fought his battles but always asks others to step aside. He declares his plan without even speaking to GG. It's pure arrogance. He can't be our President.

Your logic is flawed simply because its not as simple as your said. He has the right to ask. He may not be perceive d to be best I presentation. But election is for a President Independent of ruling elites. TM and NKS are Amigos and Amigos of their Amigos. If I were to elect most handsome I would choose Goh. But this election is no laughing matter. Its about Independence.

@@BeachBoi1000 No, diluting their vote share is in itself an achievement. Contest gives the win credibility also. Its win win. Giving TM as big a black eye (metaphor) as possible is to send the Amigos a clear signal to buck up. I am sure SAF BG TAN the adulterer knows what i mean. You are not totally wrong of course. I am just offering other perspective for the full picture. Of course, more candidates mean more splitting

He should sack his advisors, actually he didn’t qualify. It’s a joke.
Everyone have their good points. Fulfilment of the duties of the President is atmost important. Ability and integrity are what i am looking for. Crush if necessary with the other party but with sound reasoning but not on authoritative assertion. It is a big challenge for some to take up this because it is no longer a personal lifestyle but one of the people's expected lifestyle. Not just individual but one unit of his immediate contacts are involved. May singaporean, first if lucky, have more than one to choose from the candidates. Second, one that performs up to expectations. Good luck to all singaporean.
Tan kl is pap affiliated, ntuc is ctrl by the govt. Come on
George is just wasting time here and that of others😮
I like this way of questioning. Can create animosity among independent candidates to split votes allowing tm a bigger win. NKS please come split further😅. Enjoyed the Strait media👏👏👏
I'm really rich. Make Singapore great again
One change to change his slogan! we all know nothing an elected president can change! more of a ceremonial and diplomat top official for Singapore.
He did not qualify anyway, talk so much
ears hurt from his broken english. sigh.

I realised he is the type who follow the wind. He said that he planned 6-7 years I think.. but from what I see he have no strategy.. don’t know what he up for.
The public started to get sick of the way he frequently boasted about how his experience he had in dealings with billions of dollars and brags about his ability in dealings businesses with many countries and just listening to him boasted about himself openly and how he criticises the other 3 presidential candidates and belittling then and also commented about Tharman as favoured by the PAP government. It's because he thought he had the ability to make money as the other 3 people, We belongs to a group of 100 seniors from North Eastern part of Singapore and would not vote for him.

Effort and Faith would not cut it in this reality world. No allies in the main party and opposite side in parliment. Any outsiders would is elected is going to be isolated and pushed to a corner, later have to do the bidding like asking how high to jump when asked to. Work smart,then Work hard.

Not very impressive cos George Goh keeps talking about business, how he has built his businesses from scratch to billion-dollar worth. Singaporeans are "hurting" . Why? Cos important bread n butters issues are brushed aside, remained unsolved over the years. Good jobs taken away by foreigners, high inflation, runaway prices of public housing, CPF monies "locked" n many types of medical insurance schemes sucking away CPF amount due to unfavourable tweakings, huge losses by MAS, GIC n Temasek, the lists goes on. Can't the PAP cohort of so-called "white", who r the creams of our educational system, be more humble by listening more to the "grounds". As i hv said before, PAP will continue to get a very high percentage of support from Sporeans to govern Spore if these elites hv good "ears n eyes". 3:01

This one is not presidential election. The one you’re talking about is called “General Election”, which is likely to take place in either 2024/25. So the president can’t do or rather it’s not in his job scope to address all the things you’ve mentioned. If you find that all the issues & policies you mentioned aren’t solved till this date, vote for the other party in the next GE and kick the current Govt out.
