You spoke really well :) I'll be supporting you.
However, even if the presidential result just not turn out as what you hope (it's really competitive), please don't be too upset or disappointed! I see your hard work and effort. We see them all.

God bless you.; August 24, 2011 1:29 AM

As long as TKL, TJS and TCB together bring down Tony Tan's score well below 60% (benchmarked against the 60% of GE2011 PAP votes), it's a victory for the other 3 Tans. It's just a staged, expensive wayang show for a PAP proxy, nothing great. All the best for TKL.
We are more concerned with another more expensive show - Temasek Holdings' cutting losses from its Shin Corp investment in Thailand.
This show is more painful for us to watch, it would stretch for years before it would end, killing spectators softly and slowly, so the losses would not appear too big to bear at one shot.; August 24, 2011 9:37 AM

If the result did not turn out as you wish, please do not dismay because that is because you have a stronger opponent. You appear to me as a people person with his own ideas and have plans on how to get things done. But with the current environment, the people may want someone more agressive. I have still not decide. Its you or him. Keep it up, be yourself and do your best!; August 24, 2011 11:13 AM

With that, you have my support and I will also ask my relatives to vote for you! Hope that you will win the presidential election :); August 24, 2011 8:14 PM

I thought this is the strongest message to present government.

4-Tan are teaching a moral education lesson TOGETHER.
Great!; August 25, 2011 4:08 PM
