About S R Nathan

Sellapan Ramanathan ( ; 3 July 1924 – 22 August 2016), often known as S. R. Nathan, was a Singaporean politician and civil servant who served as the sixth president of Singapore between 1999 and 2011. Nathan won both the 1999 presidential election and the 2005 presidential election thanks to an uncontested walkover due to ineligible candidates. He was the longest-serving president in Singapore's history and the only to serve two full terms.
In 2009, Nathan surpassed Benjamin Sheares to become Singapore's longest-serving president. Nathan was reportedly considering for a re-election and decided not to run.
Nathan suffered a stroke on 31 July 2016 and was taken to Singapore General Hospital before he died in the hospital on 22 August 2016, at the age of 92.
