Yusof bin Ishak was the president from 1959 to 1965, when Singapore was still in the Federation of Malaysia. After the Republic of Singapore gained its independence in 1965, Yusof bin Ishak continued his position as the president of Singapore till his death in 1970.

Hence, you can say that he is the 1st president of Singapore.
