如果败选，总统候选人陈如斯不排除以反对党人的身份竞逐2016年大选，但最终要看选民和支持者希望他怎么走下去。


昨天，陈如斯在拜访选民的时候被记者追问，如果竞选总统不成功会不会转战下一届大选。

他认为距离下一个大选还有五年的时间，可能还会有许多状况发生。但是他希望继续为公众服务。

“会做些什么事情，其实要看这次选举的结果，还有支持者的意见。我不可能脱离群众一意孤行。如果他们需要我来推动一些改革，如果他们觉得我是适合的人选，那我会挺身而出。”

this Ah Say just die hard want to get public office, be it in Istana or Parliament ..... why he keep flipping ?

to me he is just running his own agenda, a political opportunist, not to serve the people of singapore - whether he is in Istana or Parliament

He isn't even sure of what he can do. What happened to his plan for singapore ?

I write him off forever liao

I find Tan Kin Lian very consistent. I heard him at a speech 7 years ago, and another time, at a small group session. He does have a heart for the common people and he is still singing the same tune.

absolutely agree! I also find him very confrontational. Same pattern as Chee SJ. I haven't made up my mind yet but definitely writing him off.

absolutely absolutely agree ! I made up my mind about him after watching the broadcasts and profiles. I am one stubborn cow so this perception of him will be with me in 2016 GE and beyond. Having Nonya Kuey shown with him actually did more harm than good for him, with regards to my 1 vote.

Hmmmmm.....what about TT? It also seems that PAP die die want their own member to be a president as well. Is it because of hidden agenda or does not want any outsiders to know too much on what's going on in the nation reserves? I don't know.......as I am also throwing out question. Don't know who to trust.

So don't slam me eh. :siam:

Agreed on his confrontational. But he does bring out alot of interesting points and rebuttal. Even TOC is giving him much favour as compared to TT. After all that TJS has mentioned, I just somehow feel that alot of policies were not dealt in good faith and much thought for the people. It takes so many years for the government to finally review some policy for the people.....on what price? Only after people show much resentment? This PE suddenly makes think that the role of president is actually important. Just like Ong Teng Cheong.....he was unbias and he does alot of questioning.....and in the end his used-to-be-party found him \"troublesome\". This was the exact word mentioned by our current PM.

TCB and TKL are so quiet and they did not say much in the TOC Discussion Forum.


TT handshake reminds me of upper class and lower class disparity. Is he looking down on hardworking poor people?

TJS is like a hardcore serious debater.


Don't know which one is suitable.
