This is also the first time that Twitter has created an emoji specially for a national leader in Singapore.

But not everyone is happy about Halimah's win.

Some online took to Twitter to vent, with many calling her win undemocratic -- as she was the only candidate qualified for the election.

The government ruled that two of her other rivals were not eligible to run as their companies did not have at least $370 million (S$500m) in shareholder's equity -- one of the many criteria put in place for the job.

Halimah also faced further criticism as the presidency this year was reserved for a particular ethnic group. The government had previously explained this was to allow representation of minority groups in a predominantly ethnically Chinese country.

She will be the first Malay head of state in 47 years.

The strict criteria put in place let many to believe that Halimah had been "selected", and "not elected" for the presidency.

Nothing personal against Mdm Halimah. Respect her as a Muslim but still #NotMyPresident due to the deceit.

The President of Singapore has limited powers. The country's head of state has traditionally been its Prime Minister.

Halimah, who will be sworn into office on Thursday, will serve as the president for the next six years.
