Presidential Election: Not PAP's fault that Tharman is a strong candidate, says Shanmugam

The topic of the Presidential Election came up at the Institute of Policy Studies' 35th anniversary conference. During a discussion on diversity in Singapore politics, Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said it is not the ruling party's fault that Tharman Shanmugaratnam is a strong candidate. Mr Shanmugam was responding to a suggestion that Mr Tharman's entry as the Government-backed candidate could be a sign the PAP wanted less political pluralism. Mr Shanmugam said that ultimately, it is up to the people to decide if the country wants more or less political pluralism.
