- In the weeks leading up to the 2023 Presidential Election, hundreds of Singaporeans worked tirelessly to help candidates rally for votes as volunteers
- Four such volunteers tell TODAY why they decided to set aside time to help in the campaigns of Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Mr Tan Kin Lian and Mr George Goh, who did not qualify to run in the end
- The volunteers speak of the sacrifices they made, such as suffering body aches from the hours giving out flyers and the challenges organising the logistics of the campaign
- Their contributions are no small feat though, with one being part of the team that created President-elect Tharman’s iconic pineapple logo
- The volunteers add that they have also gained from the experience, such as picking up useful skills and learning the intricacies behind a candidate’s presidential bid
