In a speech at his inauguration ceremony, incoming President Tharman Shanmugaratnam pledged to do his utmost to support initiatives that “deepen the respect we accord to fellow Singaporeans… a respect for all that is at the heart of our solidarity as Singaporeans”.
This was an echo of his campaign slogan “Respect for all”, which clearly resonated with voters who handed Mr Tharman a landslide victory in Presidential Election (PE) 2023.
