he should run in the next GE, but wonder whether which party will take him.[/quote]Understand that it was Goh Meng Seng who egged TKL to throw in the hat for the PE... Is GMS still with NSP?ZacK:
[quote=\"Angelight\"]It's not surprising that TKL has the least votes, wonder if he will try again in 6 yrs time...
He may field himself in the next GE!

Hi Kin Lian,
I am trying to negotiate with my potential employer (an NGO which deals with providing Pro Bono Legal Aid to refugees seeking asylum) to let me start work in September or at least mid August so that I could continue to help you. I will only know the result on 15 July but I will be away in Hainan Island to settle some family matters there.
I am writing a blog post with regards to this soon. I am very glad that you have taken up this daunting challenge of contesting in this Presidential Elections with the knowing that all establishment machineries will be gunning at you. I am also very grateful to your family, especially your wife, Mrs Tan, for giving you the full support in this thankless quest.
As I have said before, I have been involved in persuading a lot of people to get involve in our Nation's political process on the opposite side of the establishment for the past ten years. It is never easy to persuade good people to come aboard and take up the challenge of being part of the thankless Public Service as opposition members. It is even more difficult to find someone who could qualify the stringent criteria set by PAP to become a Presidential Candidate and yet who is truly courageous to stand up and be independent of the ruling party.
For such a person like you, would have the social status and financial foundation to live comfortably into retirement. Who would want to risk the wrath, personal attacks, smearing and public scrutiny by becoming the \"non-PAP endorse\" Presidential candidate? This is especially so when we have witnessed what previous non-PAP endorse contender has been treated in the past. Unless there is a high calling as well as sense of Public Service, nobody with such status would want to \"trouble troubles\".
Whatever the outcome of this Presidential Elections, I am proud to have become part of this little process to enhance true democracy of checks and balances. I am proud to be your friend as well. I have to thank you for allowing me to play my little role in this whole process.
Best regards,
Meng Seng

Wow! watching CNA now, looks like Dr TCB is VERY well liked! He will definitely be a people’s president if he wins.

down to 44…

PAP will wake up if TCB wins?

Extracts taken from Election watch website:
12:20 TT appears to be inching closer to TCB as the last batch of votes come in.
12:24 80% of overall votes have been counted but it is too close to tell if candidates TCB or TT is leading.
12:25 TT: 35%, TCB: 35%, TJS: 25%, TKL: 5% If TT win, kelong anyone?
12:31 ED - recount going on, TCB neck to neck with TT
12:34 TCB’s 2% lead appears to have evaporated in recount. Stunning
12:37 My gut feelings…the final countdown…the final shoot out …the final winner will be
TT…
12:45 "I want to thank all my supporters. Whether we win or lose, we have already won, with our hearts."- Tan Jee Say
12:53 SHOCKING: Workers’ Party supporters switched at the last minute to support Tan Cheng Bock because Low Thia Khiang had expressed privately that he does not like Tan Jee Say. -
new(not so much jam) The election results now?

Shoot:
down to 44...
