Submitting the nomination papers

The Straits Times gave a sub-headline that I was considering to withdraw from the Presidential election. This is misleading and inaccurate and does not reflect my answers given to the media conference or posted in my blog. Channel News Asia has given an accurate report, which is stated here.



My supporters and I went on a walkabout at Ghim Moh market this morning. I was heartened by the warm reception of the residents and stall holders. Most of them recognized me and assured me of their support. Some, who have read the Sunday Times report, urged me to continue in the contest.



I wish to confirm that I will be submitting my nomination papers on 17 August.
