Take a look around your neighbourhood and you'll likely find Tharman Shanmugaratnam's campaign posters on lamp posts — but how does he compare to other presidential candidates' campaign choices?
Responding to a question by the media about the possibility of an "advantage" that he might have over other candidates, he said: "Not really — actually, I've spent a lot of time in the last month with my team, mobilising volunteers. We put a lot of effort into it." "The reality is that posters are necessary in our electoral landscape… I do want to reach out to everyone in our heartlands and have put great effort into mobilising volunteers," he added.On Wednesday, presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian's daughter shared her gripes about Tharman's preparedness on social media, saying that the latter has "a whole strong political machinery behind him to support him".
Pointing to a durian stall beside him during the doorstop interview, Tharman said with a smile that the king of fruits was considered as well.
