Singapore's renowned marathoner Soh Rui Yong may cast a 'protest vote' for Tan Kin Lian following George Goh's surprising disqualification from the presidential race. Dive into the details and reactions surrounding the controversy.
What may seem like a cheeky and lighthearted remark brings out a deeper meaning and understanding to his post as Soh used a simple and different approach to explain the criteria to qualify as a candidate for the presidential election.
“Sounds dumb, right? But this is after all, as arbitrary as needing to be CEO of a company with $500 million in shareholders equity, having served at a high position in public office, or, in the case of 2017, being of Malay race,” added the multiple SEA Games medallist. While Soh strongly believes Tharman is the strongest candidate out of the remaining three presidential hopefuls, he is now considering casting a vote for Tan after witnessing how Goh is unsuccessful in his COE application.
