Independence from political parties

Dear Mr. Tan
I am surprised at the statements from the government and Dr. Tony Tan - which seemed to be targeting you. I have known you to be a person who is pro-Singapore and also, at one time, pro-PAP. Although you are not pro-PAP now, you are also quite fair in your approach. Although you are willing to support the opposition parties, you cannot be considered to be anti-PAP. 

There is no need for the PAP should not target you or be afraid that you will be elected. The only reason I can think of their attitude is that they may have something to hide. Perhaps there are big losses in GIC or Temasek that they do not want you to find out. Is this the reason why they do not like you to be elected?


REPLY
I think that the GIC and Temasek have been quite transparent in reporting their losses during the global financial crisis and that the losses would probably have recovered by now I don't think that they are big losses to be hidden away.

I will try to be honest, fair and positive in my approach. I want to be independent and will support any policy (from any political party) that is good for the people of Singapore.

Mr. Tan Kin Lian - thank you for stepping forward to contest the elected Presidsency.

You are truly a Peoples' President-in-waiting.

Your kindness and willing to help your fellow Singaporeans speak volumes about your personality. None of your contenders have gone to the street level yet.

You have a clear decisive edge over your competitors.

Tan Kin Lian - the perfect choice.

Best wishes, Andrew (galaxystar888)

In real polity, only one winner.
Would the ruling party block him by all means? How TKL & supporters face it?

No worry. TKL's supporters are made of harder stuff than distractors think. Won't become a "Big Fat Loser" as coinned by Tommy Koh. Supporters just become more radical in thinking, and more steadfast in their beliefs, taking Chiam See Tong as a role model.
No big deal, to them TKL "Hai Si Yi Tiao Hao Han". Better to step forward to take on the challenge, than to be a tortoise to retract its head into its shell, whenever threats appear.
