You sleeping or what?

Did you vote for them?

I didn't 

IAM of the belief that the present sentiments remained the same. We are NOT ready!

CECA is the proof

U didn't because u r jhk mah. How to vote right?

[Sentinel]

All 3 candidates are true blue born in Singapore lah. We are choosing president not president's family.

You are so naive I do not know where to start

[Sentinel]

You think IAM George Goh is it?

Read more and open your mind and stop being a PAP and MOH plp

[winbig]

You are so naive I do not know where to start

I'm not naive. I choose the one which will be good for Singapore. I love my country and I will only choose the best for my country. Not to choose someone lousy to sabo my own country.

[Lukongsimi]

As long as they are foreigners they will always think of their countries 1st mah!   If war happens they will balek kampong 1st lah!

One drop of atom bomb sg sinks Liao how to balek kampong 
Either go north or south 
Lol

[Sentinel]

Is he referring to Tharman's Japanese wife leh?

Up to you to interpret

I like to say that many still think that Tharma de either married an Indian or a Chinese wife and born in Sinkiepoor

[cheekopekman]

Then leave it to fate loh

Like that dangerous leh!  Don't sell Singapore our country to other countries leh!

[Sentinel]

I'm not naive. I choose the one which will be good for Singapore. I love my country and I will only choose the best for my country. Not to choose someone lousy to sabo my own country.

Who you vote is your prerogative

But that also can mean you are naive

I vote for one who is good for the community of Sinkiepoor, internationally he needs to be just adequate to perform his duties

Someone who can do his best to fight for the underprivilege and the needy

[Tee tiong huat]

Both other candidates wife. Foreign born but became Singaporean. 

However for Mrs Tharman, she lived in Singapore since 3 years old. I felt it is sad for TKL to claim she is not true blue Singaporean. 

My parents from China but worked in Singapore whole life. Anyone claim they are not true blue Singaporean will be curse to hell...

Good....

[*天哥*]

Again he is throwing away votes from women. Especially from the new citizens. 

"Mrs Tharman was born to a Japanese merchant father and local Chinese mother.

She has lived in Singapore since she was three, starting from a mainly Teochew-speaking kampung."


Common Mr Tan, have a heart. Give this woman a break. After all, her mother was a Singaporean. And Teochew, same as me.
Living here since 3 years old.

Just because of your King 🤴 dream, you go attacking people's wife not a true blue Singaporean blood. How bloody Insulting. 

Still shamelessly tell everyone you bloody care for Singaporean. Omg 😲!!!

This guy keeps sabotaging himself which makes me starf to lose confidence in him,

[watchfirst9]

To be clear, he did not attack the other 2 candidates’ wives.  He just said Singaporeans would prefer a local born First Lady.

Nothing wrong with that.

Double edge swords can work both ways.

[Sticw]

At some point in time, pivot point, he might just run himself ashore with his speeches and comments. He must be more measured in his comments...

Japanese blood flows within her body leh!

It is her (Thambi) husband running for EP.

[Tee tiong huat]

Not really the same. Based on Tiko Lian's logic, sinkie men who married foreign wives are second class citizens. Cannot be right? Besides it is bad taste to comment on someone s wife or family just because of where they are born.

Yes!. Right...

You must not underestimate the influence of your wife has on you

This is the Asian culture and we living in Asia, not USA

Precisely...there is nothing obnoxious or wrong to say a factual statement.

True blue local citizens will naturally prefer local Singaporeans.

In any political race, it's only rational to bring out what's advantageous to oneself . The other 2 candidates are also praising themselves sky high.

Political Science 101.

There is nothing to be happy or unhappy about her and her father

Do not put word into my mouth

But when it comes to voting, I have to consider all factors, birth, age, intellect, affiliations, culture, likes and dislikes, etc

Sorry I hurt your feelings, but voting for a PRESIDENT is serious matter to us

May not be to you, as you seem to be very cosy with the status quo

That is perfectly alright

No one is forcing you to vote for any of them

[Tee tiong huat]

Singapore's first elected President Ong Teng Cheong was married to Ling Siew May, who was born in Shanghai, China. 

Singapore's first president Yusof Ishak was born in Malaysia.

Friends how many of your parents and grandparents are not True Blue Singaporean. Accordingly to TKL mentality. 

Think carefully. Our Pioneer, Medeka Generation. Don't let political cloud blind your hearts.

 Half half half, a good laugh.

Cannot comment on other people's wife, but others can make fun of his granddaughter as being molested by their grandpa

Me!. Thinking so, me have same thinking, thk.

TKL is very confident that he'll definitely be EP. Cos he thinks that people have no other choice but him.

[sgbuffett]

Of course we respect other people from other countries who come to Singapore to become citizens, but I think deep down our locals would prefer at least a chance to have the President and the 'first lady' to be true Singaporeans from birth,” he said.

Can someone explain why the above comment has become "dangerous" in Singapore?

It is now dangerous to say we prefer true blue Singaporeans to be our colleagues, friends, president, wives ????..

No where else in the world is such a remark considered dangerous. If an American stands up to say he prefer a fellow American people will say he is a patriot.

If a Singaporean cannot prefer a fellow Songaporean ...it means what? It means that a true blue Singaporean does not mean anything anymore in Singapore. That to me is dangerous because it means we are losing our identity and unity.

[Clyde]

In fact president candidates should be natural-born citizens of Singapore, just like America. New citizens who are against this idea usually do not have the intention to let their children to stay on in Singapore to serve the country
