It's so obvious that these buggers are treating the PE as a GE. They only vote for someone who may be called President in name but is a de facto LOTO. They want him to clash with pap, not work with the government.

After hearing what Kok Song said, I have written off TKL completely because all his supporters are from oppie political parties. I do not intend to vote for someone who is backed by oppies parties.

Unfortunately he foolishly high jack the Presidency Election with political vibes. Confusing the opposition supporter's emotions. Fallen into his empty promises with impractical beliefs. 

Technically, what he campaign for in this PE, requires a huge change in our Constitution and probably the Westminster Parliamentary System. Whereby the PM is the Leader of Government. Not the President.

Highly impossible and unrealistic. Normal Singaporean is unlikely to fall into his gimmick.

Private different story. They want employee with bare minimal disruption so FT will have slight advantage. This is more prevalent in smaller private as manpower is very little. Foreign big MNC is ok since one role got many ppl do.

So NS disadvantage locals will depend your employer is which kind. Small private you rugi most like pass over for promotion
not much increment etc. Others still ok.

Then one might challenge me, only tax foreigner male who didn't served ns? What about female foreigners? The answer would be local females also never served ns what.

Lim Tean, Goh Meng Seng, Tan Jee Say, Tan Cheng Bock. Bock can say he endorsed TKL as a private individual and not as PSP chairman.. Will voters feel that's insulting their intelligence huh?

TKL is polarising the country instead of unifying it. 

What NKS said is true.

And since govt is a pro-foreigner addict, no foreigner means no monies to earn from WP,SPass,EP and others like they stay work need pay income tax need spend so contribute to GST etc.

Analogy. It is like a prostitute if she charge too high no customers want to come then means no income.

If we lose jibs because companies decided to ship the jobs offshore, we lan lan.

But what is pissing ppl off is we are getting these foreigners to come sinkie land, enjoy local pay, compete with us on whatever resource left to the peasant in sinkie land.

How do you know that foreigners are getting the same salaries as Singaporesns? If you are going to tell me that it's your suspicion and you have never seen the payroll records of any company, may I suggest that you stop spreading falsehoods.
