SINGAPORE — Presidential candidate Ng Kok Song urged Singaporeans to elect him as President, highlighting his past experience building up the country's reserves and his lack of political affiliation.

He was confirmed as a candidate on Tuesday for the 2023 Presidential Election, alongside former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and former NTUC Income chief Tan Kin Lian.

"I can protect the reserves. I spent my entire career at GIC and MAS helping to build up our reserves," he said in his two-minute-long speech. After 45 years in the public service, Mr Ng said he has what it takes to uphold the integrity of public service appointments.
