Dear Mr Tan
I would like to congratulate you for having held a very successful rally. The weather was good and the turnout was great. Thousands have turned up to support your rally and I noticed 99.9% of them stayed from 7.30 all the way to 10.30.
Your ability to speak in so many languages during the rally is simply amazing. "Some" candidate "claims" to be multiracial but can he speak as many languages as you are able to.
Most importantly, having listened to yourself and so many other speakers, I walked away convinced beyond any doubt that you are the best choice for Singaporeans as our next President. Just to name a few of the many reasons
1) Independence, we need an independent President to effectively check and monitor the government. Needless to name them, some candidates are just too Pro PAP for comfort.
2) Sense of Justice, years before 2011 Presidential election, you have spoken on behalf of ordinary Singaporeans for the minibond issue. I don't remember anyone else having the courage to speak up against major LISTED companies and the establishments for the sake of ordinary Singaporeans.
3) Financial knowledge, having served as the CEO of NTUC Income for so many years, you have the technical financial knowledge of how to properly monitor and manage the funds (National reserve of Singapore). If a doctor is elected as President, I wonder if he has sufficient financial knowledge to understand what the government is presenting to him in reports and if he is able to counter propose with other measures.
4) Walk the talk, a lot of people can talk, they talk great ideas, but can they effectively walk the talk. We have no need of a President who can talk and just that - TALK. We need one who has the courage to be the VOICE for the people. We need one who can stand up against the government if the need arises. From the minibond saga, we can clearly see you as one who practises what you preach. Beyond that, you have also pledged to donate half of your Preseidential salary to the charity. This is another proof that you walk the talk and follow up with actions and not just mere hollow words.
On this Saturday, for the sake of Singapore and the future of Singaporeans, I hope everyone can vote for Mr Tan Kin Lian, the only logical choice for President. Only then, can the voices of ordinary Singaporeans be heard loud and clear by the government. Only then can changes be effected and the lives of ordinary Singaporeans improved.

(On a side note, your daugher is really an excellent speaker, she should consider running for the next election, I am pretty sure she would do very well. She can rouse the audience with her fiery speech that is full of conviction and that strike a chord with the people.)

I agree with Gary , Your daughter is an excellent speaker with strong vocal.I do not wish to compare another person with your daughter. Like what gary had said, she can rouse the audience with her fiery speech with conviction. But I'm a firm believer against stirring emotions.
ReplyDeleteOn the side note, I notice you speakers are very netural. I do not feel your speakers are in other way attacking other presidential candidates. Unlike, Mr Tan jee Say's speakers. I respect people who play fair not delibrately attacking on candidates' eligbility in the president role.
TKL has got strong support from the man in the street.
ReplyDeleteThese people are the silent majority.
They may not be appearing in the rally or participating in the internet debate.
But they will vote for TKL on 27 Aug.
I agree with Gary that you daughter is a very impressive speaker, frank & uses good vocab. She should seriously consider running for the next GE.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the above that you will have strong support from the pple in the street. Your integrity & sense of justice are evident from the fight u gave during the Lehman crisis... Keep up the gd work & the sense of justice in you. All the best on the presidential election.
