The Aug 27 presidential election was the most keenly contested ever with four candidates, and won narrowly with 35.2 per cent by Dr Tony Tan, who was sworn in on Thursday. SMU chairman Ho Kwon Ping, together with Janadas Devam, associate editor of The Straits Times, present views on the election, including a call to do away with direct voting of a president in the first place.
