The former chief executive of NTUC Income was speaking to reporters before a walkabout at Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre in Woodlands.

"One reason why I'm very angry at the current government – I send so many suggestions on day-to-day life," said Mr Tan.

He added that he did so as a member of the public but did not receive the response he expected.

Of course pap will not be happy if he does that. But our vote is not to make pap happy.

So he wants to become president so that he can get back at the govt? This is a big no no.

If no response don't you think pap gov will respond correctly to his 嘴炮 if he elected. Meaning he can't influence pap gov liao

Since we have to pay that salary no matter which one we vote, isn't it better to get the one that can make the most noise for us.

If he is concerned about day to day life of the people, he should run to be an opposition MP. Not the President.

wrong.

President can also raise concern about life of people.

below is an example.

We need more feedback to the gov from all angles. Moreover voting TKL will send a strong signal to gov that shifting goalpost all the time will backfire.

What he said is true. Not just him but any member of public. Unless it is election time.

If the post is mostly ceremonial, then having Tharman to fill it is a huge waste of his innate talents in finance and economics.

And this president is stymied by the ever present presidential advisory council, which he always needs to listen to.

For example, the power to grant or deny clemency for death row prisoners also is not his own call to make.

So anybody can fill the post. Even those who make a lot of gaffes. As witnessed by the incumbent and outgoing president Laughing

In your job, if you tell your boss "I send so many emails/suggestions/ideas/follow up to xxx but no response", what will your boss say?
