Tony Tan

Whatever initiatives we launch, we must always put the interests of Singaporeans and Singapore first.

The president is a president for all Singaporeans. Not only for those who have voted for me, but even for those who have not voted for me.

I will work in partnership with the Government, all political parties, and civil society to safeguard and advance the future of all Singaporeans.

I use computers and the Internet every day of my life, and yet I have absolutely no idea how they work. I'm like a labrador watching 'The Matrix.'

I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
