Singapore - Singapore President S R Nathan on Friday said he would not seek a third term in office as he felt age was catching up with him.
'In a few days I will be reaching the age of 87 years,' Nathan said in statement.
'At this stage of my life, I do not believe that I can undertake indefinitely the heavy responsibilities and physical demands of the position of head of state,' he said.
