Yeah, be careful. Bloomberg is considered international. So the damages you will have to pay if you are sued in Singapore will go up because more people will hear about it.
One small suggeston: even if it is live interview, can they email you some Q&A in advance so that you can ask your lawyer friends to help you prepare your answers? This is not because I doubt your abilities. This is safer, so that you will not be 'sued' for any slip of the tongue?
SiewKhim continues to be passing scarcastic remarks. I now know that he is from NTUC Income, due to his latest posting. He continues to be creating a nuisance.
I'm in no position to advise you, but still, be very careful. Some international media like to cook up sensational stories of people's dissatisfactions with govt. E.g. they may ask a few questions which may appear irrelevant & in different sequence, and "lead to" ...so, you are implying that MAS is negligent in its supervision role...S'pore government/ MPs have not acted with integrity, etc... Anyway, thanks for all the efforts.
Can someone from TOC record it and put it on youtube. I salute you for your selflessness and sense of duty and humanity. I believe bloomberg TV is shown live on the big screen at Empress Place (Raffles Place MRT). Maybe someone can pass the word around.
Mr Tan, don't worry, just be yourself :) Aren't you always careful, polite and frank? Good luck to your interview anyway :)
And pls don't bother yourself with that Siew Khim... if you have done right, 10,000 Siew Khims will have no harm on you. But....if you do wrong, good luck to you... 10,000 angels backing you also no use, right?
Dear Mr Tan Fantastic. You did well in CNA yesterday. Like what the others have said, screen through the questions first. Be very careful. You are a true Singaporean. I am proud of you, if only we have more people like you.
I have faith in you. Now, you are not only doing favor for those suffered investors in Singapore, you are doing it for future investors across the region.
Mr Tan, Like what you said" Be honest and truthful in what you say" then you will be alright. I believe in justice.
Gathering from the loads of emails and people turning up at Hong Lim Green, this matter if not resolved fairly and transparently will definitely put a dent in our efforts to become "world class globalised city", "financial hub" status! The highest government authority needs to issue edict to MAS and banks, especially DBS who has yet to issue any statement, to pull up their socks. Shame on us calling ourselves financial hub when the financial heads are abiding by "Silence is golden"!
I believe you will be posed questions on the adequacy of regulation of FIs, the salepeople, the products and the regulator and of the investors.These are the 4 people in the equation. MAS---the refree FIs---the manufacturers The salepeople------the conduit, the persuader, the middlemen, or the cheat, the thieves Investors---the winners or the victims
Though I am not a Singaporean, but I was very touched by your selflessness and willingness to come forward to assist those really need an assistance.
I also strongly believe that not only your action will bring a better understanding of the operation of those complex investments products, your action will not only serve the people of Singapore but the world as it is being now. These complex issue not only affect Singaporean but it affect all people wherever they are.
I hope you will have the courage to say what you need to say. I also believe as a professional you will bring up the better side of the finance world.
My salute to you and keep moving, you have the support not only from your won country but all people from the world who want to see a health development in the finance activities, marketing and os on and so forth.
all my best wishes go with you and i hope you'll be filled with confidence, with courage and with a sense of great purpose to help the people of singapore.speak the truth with undaunting courage and steadfastness.
singaporeans are proud of you. take care and may heaven bless you always.
Thank you Mr Tan for your noble action to step forward to speak on behalf of the helpless investors!
We should have more well known people like you who carry weight to step forward to help the affected investors.
Published in the newspaper lately on our affected local investors, it is just a tip of an iceberge. Singapore as a financial center, we have put in a lot of effort to attract foreign funds. There are many overseas investors invested vast amount of money in the bankrupt banks through our banks. They are very unhappy but there is no channel for them to express their frustration. More importantly, they don't see our govt or related departments put in enough efforts to protect our investors in S'pore. Unlike HK and Taiwan, their govts showed efforts and prompt actions in this crisis.
In Taiwan, their govt has freezed-up Lehman Brothers' assets in Taiwan to protect the interest of their investors. But how much did we do for our local and overseas investors while we want to develop our country to be the major financial hub to attract more assets from overseas. It is quite disppointing that our country's slow reaction and response in this financial crisis.
However, this is our home's problem, you're on a TV program that are watched by overseas audiences. I believed you have the wisdom to speak the right things on TV to protect the image of our country and yet to fight for the right for our poor investors.
Perhaps, in private, you may speak with our govt or the relevant departments to be proactive and to have more initiative in response to crisis like this for current and for the future ones...
I wish you and all affected investors luck and may God bless you all with wisdom and peace of mind.
SiewKhim, Isn't SiewKhim supposed to be a female's name? Why are you so dishonest? We invited you to meet up and you just play dumb. Meanwhile you try to irritate Mr Tan when you have nothing better to do. What is your agenda? Go get a life!
Hi i agree with falcon n everlearning, siewkhim if u have nothing better to do pls buzz off n dont disturb, do u know the agony of losing your lifetime hard earn money without knowing how n why just like an elderly person being cheated with the swap of his money by the apples. Mr Tan is helping the helpless people who doesn't know who to turn to for help so pls have a heart. I m not one of the victim but i m also pity the helpless victims
I understand that these minibonds are not marketed anywhere, not even in the U.S. but only in Singapore and Hong Kong. Any expert can verify this and expound the reasons why we are the only one of two countries marketing this?
Hi Mr Tan,
ReplyDeleteSingapore needs more noble people like you. Selflessly putting in effort to help those poor souls who lost their savings in this wretched investment.

Thank you once again for your time and efforts.
Mr Tan,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for taking much time to help the affected investors and to improve Singapore's financial system for the better future.
Just let the world know the victims are just looking for a fair compensation and we hope authorities can be more active.

Anyway, thanks for all the efforts.
Mr. Tan,
ReplyDeleteThe majority of Singaporeans recognize and appreciate your efforts.
Don't fall into the traps of those few who try to distract you from the main issues.
I am confident you can handle the difficulties, but please also be extra careful.
I'll be watching Tan Kin Lian

We like to thank you for the bottom of all hearts. May God bless you and your family abundantly.
If RI did not give RMs high targets, RMs need not push too hard on the products to the customers.
ReplyDeleteWho earned the most?

To Siewkhim
ReplyDeleteyou have nothing but a xxxx big fat mouth.
Don't hide behind a woman's skirt. Show yourself. Start a blog and let's see what you got.
You are a thru and thru LOSER.
BUZZ OFF !
Mr. Tan don't bother yourself with garbage. May GOD be with you.
I believe you will be posed questions on the adequacy of regulation of FIs, the salepeople, the products and the regulator and of the investors.These are the 4 people in the equation.
ReplyDeleteMAS---the refree
FIs---the manufacturers
The salepeople------the conduit, the persuader, the middlemen, or the cheat, the thieves
Investors---the winners or the victims

Dear Mr Tan,
ReplyDeletePlease do careful. Some will watch on you and find way to get rid of you as an eyesore to them if you make any mistake on your speech or interview.
Many of us are tired of those who demand one of the highest pay in the world but still act slower than other counterparts...
SiewKhim,
ReplyDeleteIsn't SiewKhim supposed to be a female's name? Why are you so dishonest? We invited you to meet up and you just play dumb. Meanwhile you try to irritate Mr Tan when you have nothing better to do. What is your agenda? Go get a life!
Speak the truth, nothing but the truth.
ReplyDeleteEvery good deed done would bring a glimpse of hope in this sick and dying world...
SiewKhim, you have one life to live, live to bring joy and hope to others... don't waste it for useless attempts to discourage or demean others.
公道自在人心，请您为我们加油！

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know why Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan are not affected by this minibond. Are they marketed in these countries and if not why?
ReplyDeleteI understand that these minibonds are not marketed anywhere, not even in the U.S. but only in Singapore and Hong Kong. Any expert can verify this and expound the reasons why we are the only one of two countries marketing this?
ReplyDeletecould it be an exploitation of the eagerness and rivalry btw Sg and HK to be Asia's financial hub?
