We will be welcoming a new President very soon. Tomorrow will be the polling day! Which Mr. Tan will be our 7th President and the 3rd Elected President?

Mr. S R Nathan is the 6th Head of State and also the 2nd Elected President. He was not elected by the people because in 1999, he was the only candidate qualified by the Presidential Elections Committee. Hence, he serves its term from 1 September 1999.

In 2005, where his 6-year terms was up. As the Presidential Elections Committee determined that no other candidates satisfied the qualifications prescribed by the Constitution, Mr. S R Nathan considered or to say declared to be unopposed. He was been re-elected again in 2005 and ending its term in August 2011.

Due to its age, he decided not to serve its 3rd term in the office. Over the 12 years, he was quite a popular President. He was also the first President who unlock the past reserves during the 2009 Global Financial Crisis.

Below is a Video shows our President, Mr. S R Nathan in these 12 years in the office. He will be stepping down on 31 August 2011.
