Emphasising that the presidential election is a “very serious matter”, Mr Goh said that no candidate should be telling another to step down.

This was the message businessman George Goh had for fellow presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian on Wednesday , as he spoke to reporters ahead of a walkabout at Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre and Market.

His comments came after Mr Tan said during his campaign launch that it was important that Singaporeans have a chance to vote for what he described as an"independent candidate". On Wednesday, Mr Goh said that he has prepared for six years for this bid, and it has been a difficult journey for him to get to where he is today.
