Presidential hopeful, Mr Andrew Kuan, turned up at the Elections Department,
this morning, to collect the forms in his bid for the presidency.
He arrived before 11am with two friends - one a 63-year-old retiree and the other in his 40s.
This would be his second attempt at the presidency after being disqualified in 2005
when he was not issued an eligibility certificate.
Speaking to reporters today, the former JTC group financial officer said he
did not know why he had failed in his attempt in 2005 but that he will submit
his JTC appraisal form in which his performance was rated as exceeding expectations.
He said that his strength, compared to the other candidates,
lies in his experience in finance and number-crunching.
Mr Kuan, who will turn 58 next month, said he will be a "people's president"
and that he has done more than 60 walkabouts since March.
When approached, one of his friends, who would only give his name as
Lim SK, said he was there to support Mr Kuan, and called him an "old kampong friend.
The other friend, in his 40s, declined comment.
