It is likely that the contest will be between Dr. Tony Tan, Dr. Tan Cheng Bock and Mr. Tan Kin Lian. Which candidate will you choose and why? Give your views here.
On hindsight, PM would prefer Tony Tan to be the candidate, while the rest of PAP wants Yeo. Simply, Tony has shown no intention to take the high political seat, so no threat. George is too popular on the international scene, and also among a sector of younger Singaporeans. Also, George is able to visit Tibet and N. Korea, obviously with the endorsement of China's leadership, shows his weightage in the eyes of foreign countries. It's too hot a potato for PM to handle. Very likely Tony is pursued to enter the EP race. It's a good bet.
