On 16 August 2011, the Straits Times organised a Presidential Roundtable whereby the 4 Presidential Candidates Tan Jee Say, Tan Kin Lian, Tan Cheng Bock & Tony Tan were subjected to a series of questions by senior journalists from the Singapore Press Holdings.
左钦右斜如斯败，清廉公正必胜出！
Tan Kin Lian did the best among all the 4 candidates! TT and TCB is too PAP-style and still in their PAP thinking. TJS is just an extension of opposition party.
In particular, I don’t understand what TCB meant by engaging in “day-to-day politics”. When TKL advocates being voice of the people and being a channel to bring up issues and concerns faced by Singaporeans to the government, TCB thinks it’s meddling with “door-to-door politics”. Why attach a partisan label to bread and butter issues that should be brought up for the interest of Singaporeans? Issues only become politics if people like him chose to politicized them. So when TCB say “nation comes above politics” – is he saying that the issues and concerns faced by Singaporeans is not of national interest?? His logic is contradicting and confusing at best.
oh btw…. his logo looks like the palm tree that you could find in Sentosa Cove. lol…
I recall reading in the Straits Times that Dr Tony Tan was queried by other Presidential candidates over National Service. How come this part of the dialogue is missing?
I prefer someone who is neutral rather than Pro PAP or Pro Oppositions…..for the best of Singapore and future Singapore.
