I plan to work my utmost for Singaporeans, whatever be their political affiliation. The presidency is above politics.

The president is a president for all Singaporeans. Not only for those who have voted for me, but even for those who have not voted for me.

I will work in partnership with the Government, all political parties, and civil society to safeguard and advance the future of all Singaporeans.

I'm glad that Singaporeans were receptive to my message and have elected me to serve as their president.

My main mission when I became Prime Minister, was to keep Singapore going and Singapore has been kept going. So, I'm happy with what I've done for Singapore.

Through the outreach that I have done, through platforms, I hope to unify Singaporeans because at the end of the day, Singapore is our home. We share a common destiny, and I think all of us work together for the benefit of our country.

I'm not a politician. I think that uniquely qualifies me to become president of the U.S.

I honored my commitments, and as president, I will honor every commitment that I make to the men and women of this country.

As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.

I've used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I've still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.
