SINGAPORE, Aug 22 — Presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian today doubled down on defending his social media posts about his encounters with “pretty girls” in Singapore and accused his opponents and the media of orchestrating a “smear campaign” against him.
Tan said he initially believed the move to be that of a single person, but now claimed that it was by an “attack group” that was out to “smear” him. Yesterday, Aware had cited concerns about Tan’s penchant for “objectifying women” in his Facebook posts. Later that night, the PEC said that it was not aware of Tan Kin Lian’s social media posts before issuing him a Certificate of Eligibility and is not legally allowed to revoke his eligibility to stand for the Presidential Election.
Tan, Tharman and former GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song are the three presidential hopefuls who received certificates of eligibility for the upcoming election.
