Singapore Presidential Election 2011


In this Presidential Election 2011, I’ve observed that the number seven appears several times. Below is the list of observations:

  1. Polling Day was on 27 August 2011.
  2. Elected President Tony Tan’s is 71 years old at date of election.
  3. His birth date is 7 February 1940.
  4. His commonly used name Tony Tan consists of 7 characters.
  5. His full name Tony Tan Keng Yam has 14 characters. The number 14 is a multiple of 7.
  6. Number of votes more than Dr Tan Cheng Bock is 7269.
  7. Percentage of margin won over Dr Tan Cheng Bock is 0.34; 3 plus 4 adds up to 7.

Dr Tan Cheng Bock could have won the Presidential Election if Tan Kin Lian and/or Tan Jee Say decided not to stand for election. The number seven gives Dr Tony Tan a special blessing to be Singapore seventh President.
