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

"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,
Not only the women, but he also offended the youngsters...makes me wonder is he doing it on purpose.

Nothing wrong with that.
Double edge swords can work both ways.
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...

As a commoner, no issue, but as representative at the highest office, it is an embarrassment, to say the least....(wish you rectify with her - best)

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

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

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