The government did not endorse him. Prataman, Woody Goh and Pinky are speaking in their personal capacity, not as PAP members.
This is what the 60% get for voting for PAP. They have not changed, still telling white lies to mislead the Sinkies.
Tony Tan has the qualities to lead: Nathan

SINGAPORE - Having worked with Dr Tony Tan when he was Defence Minister from 1995 to 2003 and Coordinating Minister for Security and Defence from 2003 to 2005, Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Chan Chun Sing described Dr Tan as a strategic thinker who is "always very caring about all the people who work with him".
Major-General (NS) Chan had served in the army for more than two decades, rising to the rank of Chief of Army. Speaking to reporters yesterday at the launch of the Standard Chartered Marathon, MG (NS) Chan said Dr Tan has "very broad and wide, long-term vision" and he always has the "interests of the country in mind".
He added: "The other characteristic is that he's always very caring about all the people who work with him ... he has a very simple philosophy that if you take care of the people, the people will take care of the mission."
Yesterday, incumbent President S R Nathan said that Dr Tan has the qualities to lead the country. He also described Dr Tan as a remarkable man and wished him well in the Presidential Election, which must be held by Aug 31.
Mr Nathan, 87, was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore event.
Mr Nathan, who became the Republic's second Elected President when he was first elected in 1999, also said that he will decide whether to seek a third term within the next fortnight.
He said: "Everybody's asking me that question. I'm having sleepless nights trying not to answer. So not before long, you'll get the answer."
