His wife, Madam Lysa Sumali, and his four children were at the ELD along with his supporters, who were mostly dressed in red. There were about 50 supporters present, Mr Goh’s media team said.
Supporter Doris Tay, who has worked with Mr Goh for more than 10 years in various companies, said that she thinks he is a good leader.
Under his guidance, employees like her have worked their way up to become accredited accountants, said the 63-year-old, who added she was semi-retired.
“He has strong willpower and he’s a good leader,” Ms Tay said in Mandarin. “He guides us on what to do and monitors us; whether we did our work or not, he knows … many employees learned a lot from him.”
She added that she will help Mr Goh in his campaign as she “fully supports” him.
Mr Steven Cheong, who was also dressed in red, said he was there to support Mr Goh because he wants a candidate with “commercial experience”.
“It’s better to have an election rather than to have another walkover again,” said the 50-year-old. “I think both (candidates) have their merits … I believe commercial experience is better than political experience.”
Mr Goh is the second person to declare his intention to run in the upcoming Presidential Election, after Mr Tharman.
Mr Tharman said on Sunday that he welcomes a contest, adding: “My whole approach is not to shy away from competition. It’s always been that way. It’s how I prove myself.”
