Subject: Petition Tan Kin Lian for public office
Hi XXX,
Tan Kin Lian, the Ex CEO of NTUC Income may run for the President if we Singaporeans want him to represent us on many different issues. He can better represent Singaporeans if he runs for public office.
He is also the main organizer for rally concerning the DBS Lehman bonds saga and has a track record on speaking issues for Singaporeans.
Please do read some of his contribution at his blog http://tankinlian.blogspot.com/
If you think he is worth supporting, please sign here.

Before you start to choose the president, do consider carefully what TKL has done.
1. Before even a commission of inquiry into the supposedly 'mis-selling' had investigate and came out with any result, he led people into a demostration.
2. He accused bank and staff of 'mis-selling', even without any proof, or misled others into 'presuming' that such accusations were true, thereby pre-judging and denying the bank and its staff, whom are citizens too, of a fair trial.
3. Singapore is a lawful society, and our biz growth is dependent on the honouring of a signed contract by individuals.
To have repudiate such signed agreements, based on emotions, allegations, and prejudical notions is to render the biz system asunder, that which the larger society us is dependent on.
It would mean nothing is firm or secure - what we sign on the dotted line can be revoked anytime. This is what he meant when he took to the streets.
4. He claims to represent the 500 or so who had signed on the dotted line, and made accusations. But he certainly did not represent the majority, clients, customers, staff, shareholders, and even society. Who represented these people, whom are our citizens too?
5. He allowed emotions to overcome him, on the plight of the elderly who claim they had no knowledge of the contract, but had he ever considered that for someone who had amass a wealth of more than $25,000 is not a village idiot, but most certainly a prudent and savvy individual careful with money?
Point is, he denied citizens fair trial, did not allow investigations, allowed emotions to take charge instead of rationality, continually led protests despite govt's efforts to look into the case,etc, etc...
Worse still, is speaking in a demostration a qualification to become Singapore's President? If so, then i am sure many unemployed will be registering to speak in Hong Lim soon.
Is this whom you want to be a president and the gatekeeper of our treasury?
Personally, I don't care much who gets voted, because i know for sure i will still have to work to earn a living, pay taxes and don't live in a Paradise. Be him a scholar or a roadsweeper. ( although i would be wary of the scholar more - as it is said - the non scholar will only rob a frieghthold, but the scholar will rob the entire railway! -kidding lah! Joke only, dont get upset please!)

Err... I have some observations... trying to understand your points…
1. Before even a commission of inquiry into the supposedly 'mis-selling' had investigate and came out with any result, he led people into a demostration.
Anything wrong about leading people to demo at Hong Lim?
2. He accused bank and staff of 'mis-selling', even without any proof, or misled others into 'presuming' that such accusations were true, thereby pre-judging and denying the bank and its staff, whom are citizens too, of a fair trial.
Not sure if it’s a case of “accusation” of asking MAS to investigate fully to be accountable to investor…
3. Singapore is a lawful society, and our biz growth is dependent on the honouring of a signed contract by individuals.
Yes, agree, unless the contract signed is against the spirit of the law, which is not to missell investment products that is not appropriate?
To have repudiate such signed agreements, based on emotions, allegations, and prejudical notions is to render the biz system asunder, that which the larger society us is dependent on.
Agree. We should not be emotional about it…
It would mean nothing is firm or secure - what we sign on the dotted line can be revoked anytime. This is what he meant when he took to the streets.
I think he is taking to Hong Lim only, not the streets… at least that is what I was toldd
4. He claims to represent the 500 or so who had signed on the dotted line, and made accusations. But he certainly did not represent the majority, clients, customers, staff, shareholders, and even society. Who represented these people, whom are our citizens too?
Yes, I also like to find out who is representing all the investors…
5. He allowed emotions to overcome him, on the plight of the elderly who claim they had no knowledge of the contract, but had he ever considered that for someone who had amass a wealth of more than $25,000 is not a village idiot, but most certainly a prudent and savvy individual careful with money?
I thought Straits Times reported some old guys who don’t speak English losing more quite a lot of money, and these guys claim that there is mis selling… I don’t dare to speculate that they are lying to the whole world…
Point is, he denied citizens fair trial, did not allow investigations, allowed emotions to take charge instead of rationality, continually led protests despite govt's efforts to look into the case,etc, etc...
Err… I thought he is asking MAS to investigate?
Worse still, is speaking in a demostration a qualification to become Singapore's President? If so, then i am sure many unemployed will be registering to speak in Hong Lim soon.
Err… is it against the law to speak at a demonstration at Hong Lim…?

If Mr Tan where to type like this, he would be sued all over!
The main problem is if there were no complaints the financial institutions would think that nothing is wrong. Do you think that old uncles and aunties have a huge risk appetite? A 100% potential loss of capital is very high risk! What are the returns? Hello! 5%! Not enough to even offset this year's 6-7% inflation rate.
If anyone would have known better, the uncles and aunties would not even invest in those "minibonds". Look at the probability of failure, out of 150, if 12 or 15 were to fail, all capital would be wiped out! You are better off gambling on "big" or "small" in the casino in which your odds are 50-50.
How easy is it for anyone to accumulate $25,000? Save $100 every month for 21 years.

ArtBoon,
Hong Lim Park is a legally designated venue for protests.

I know that. That's why I am trying to understand why some think it is not right to lead a demonstration at Hong Lim Park.... Trying to understand what I have missed....
