Dear Mr Tan,
My mother and I both voted for you. We marked a " Cross " on the last " Tan " box. There are 4 Tans. BUt we both VOTED for you.
We are touched by your generous offer to donate half your President's Pay to charity. I do NOT know why your message of the " Hi 5 " did NOT get across to Singaporeans.
I personally like your ideas of " Pension " for the elderly. My mother is old. A pension for the old would be good for her. CPF money have NOT be enough for retirement.
I don't know why you received only 4.91 % of the votes. I was praying for you to win the Presidential Election.
Do NOT lose hope. I feel sorry that you lost your SGD 48,000 deposit. I think Singaporeans should and ought to have given you a chance.

The PE is over and done with. All Singaporeans knew Tony would win the post, but we are just as shocked as the PM that Tony won with just a whisker gain. We should be very proud that 65% of us rejected the Govt endorsed winner, and the most unhappy person is PM Lee. Perhaps he is mad with Tony for making him lose face, and for splitting the PAP into two factions.
ReplyDeleteAlso TKL must accept that many were forced to vote TCB, not because they love or agree with his election campaign, but they voted with their head, and not with their heart - TCB is the only one who could challenge TT, that's all. Pay kudos to the political acumen and intellect of the citizens.
After this PE, these sophisticated vote switchers would drop TCB almost immediately like hot stones.
Not only PAP could play games, the voters could play just as well, as we have a good teacher, the PAP to copy from. Can't beat them, may as well join them.
So TKL should take comfort the people helped him to cut down TT's vote to a bare 35%, it's like giving the PAP a slap in the face.
Ultimately, many abandoned TKL all because of strategic motives, and nothing else. So, please take heart.
It's time to return to realty, ordinary citizens have to make a living in this difficult environment, we lesser mortals are different from the President and the Ministers who are living with the highest pay in the world. So let's forget the Election, after all, it's just another wayang show.
God bless and slave hard, bo bian lah. God bless TKL and family too.
One happy and positive outcome of this PE is that a close to 65% of the eligible voters realise the importance of having the 'checks and balances' in our young democratic system. Never believe that the PAP government is able or willing to check themselves by being fair to the ordinary citizens like us.

Keep it up, all!
