'S'pore needs right president'

MANAMA (BAHRAIN) - PRESIDENT S R Nathan yesterday said he would welcome a contest at the presidential election due next year, though he has not decided whether to run for a third consecutive term.

But he also stressed that what Singaporeans should be concerned about is whether they have the right person for the job.

Speaking to the Singapore media at the end of his visit to Bahrain, he spelt out the significance and role of the elected president.

He said Singaporeans' expectations of the elected president, who is a symbol of the people and the nation, are different from those of parliamentary candidates who represent constituencies.

Also, Mr Nathan said there is a need to select a candidate who can grow the elected presidency, which was conceived to safeguard the nation's financial reserves. The first elected president was the late Mr Ong Teng Cheong, who took office in September 1993.

Mr Nathan is serving his second term; he was elected unopposed in 1999 and 2005.
