On August 18, 1999, the Presidential Elections Committee announced that the sole candidate Ambassador-at-large S. R. Nathan was granted a Certificate of Eligibility, but rejected the other candidates due to lack of sufficient experience. S. R. Nathan was declared duly elected on Nomination Day, August 18, 1999, since he was the only person nominated. The election never actually took place. President Ong Teng Cheong's term was scheduled to end on September 1, 1999.
