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

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.

in MCQ test, some time we got no choice have to go by elimination … same for this PE…at the end, who is of lesser evil when there is no ideal candidate ?

:goodpost: I'm also using this strategy.
I only know TT is out for me as it's far too obvious he has strong backup. TJS as mentioned by someone, is a bit confrontational but agreed that he does raise very good points and issues. TCB looks very warm and serious and TKL seems earnest to serve though he does pale in comparison to the others in speeches. Gotta read more and hear more before casting my vote next Saturday.

Yeah, I have the same thoughts.
I want a president that will unify Singaporeans and not divide. This should not be another GE. I also think the president need to be a competent state host as he will spend large part of his time on this.
