While some Singaporeans have a good impression of him resulting from his calm and steady demeanour and highly articulate speech,  I have a very different view of the man.


The lack of independence alone is enough for people not to vote for him. .

To me Tharman all along was overrated for the following reasons

1. Being in Minstry in charge of the sgx he failed to prevent listing of fraudulent companies like s chips, oil exploration stocks and failed to tighten regulation.

2. Lehman minibinds happened under his watch when banks angered in selling products disallowed in other countries.

3. He refuse to implement important parts of the Sarbines  Oxley Act to prevent fraud and improve accountability of listed companies ....all major developed countries adopted this like Japan and US and the level of fraud is a tiny fraction of Singapore we have a small stock exchange but many fraud and bankruptcy cases.

4. Failure to revamp CPFIS scheme to give retirement accounts to low cost products instead of UT.

Yes true. I go with u. Vote Tan KL. This botak too soft. But Jurong people said he hardworking. Got go around weekend to the market n food Center to ask resident whether they got problem. Tat why his election vote is vy high.
