3 Tans in Singapore Presidential Bids


(Source: www.analyzemath.com)

Mr Tony Tan, ex DPM from PAP, now ex Chairman of SPH had given the boost of publicity from SPH for his candidacy for Elected President of Singapore. Other 2 potential candidates, former PAP MP Tan Cheng Bock Ex Income CEO Tan Kin Lian had earlier thrown their hats into the sparing ring.

However, former DPM Tony Tan seem have a upper hand in gaining support from the Main Stream Media because he was after all its ex Chairman. Now, there are 2 candidates, with PAP back ground and only ex Income CEO Tan Kin Lian is non related to PAP directly.

Personally, I will vote for Tan Kin Lian because he was the only one who gave the voices to the people who were duped into investing those toxic investment products offered by the major banks in Singapore back to the financial crisis trigger by failed Lehman Brothers.

Tony Tan and Tan Cheng Bock, not sure if I wanted to vote for them because after all they are with PAP background. The ground seem to have cooled down since May 2011 election fever. I believed that presidential election is a boring affair because there were no political affiliation linked to the candidates; only who you or I liked.

After all, I believed that the Elected President, Mr Lee Kuan Yew's pet idea was flawed. We are the half F British parliamentary system with a President as figure head of Singapore. Scrap the Elected President or revert back to appointed president!
