Dear Friend,

I am standing for election as President of Singapore. I wish to ask for your support.

Many people have told me that they want a President who can:

Be a voice of the people
Be independent of the PAP Government
Safeguard their CPF money and the national reserves

If you give me your support and I get elected, I promise you that I will carry out these tasks diligently.

I come from a humble family background. When I was a child, I lived in a rented room and had to move residence a few times. Later, I lived in a HDB flat for 7 years. Today, I live in a ordinary house and like many Singaporeans, I have a car but often travel by bus and MRT. I understand the struggle of many people who find it difficult to earn enough to meet the cost of living, have to travel in crowded public transport daily and have to face the competition for jobs. I am close to the ordinary people in Singapore and can be your voice to carry your views to the Government.

I have never been a Member of Parliament or minister in the PAP Government. As President, I will be able to think and act independently of the Government and take a different perspective in looking after the interest of the people of Singapore. I will work in cooperation with the Government to find solutions that are best for the people.

In my decisions, I will be guided by my personal values of honesty, fairness, positive attitude, courage and public service and by the views of the people (which I will actively seek).

I am qualified and have the financial knowledge to safeguard your CPF money and the national reserves. I had nurtured an insurance company for 30 years, looking after the savings of over 1 million people and managing assets of $17 billion. I understand the need to be prudent in our investments, to avoid speculation and to invest for the long term. I can bring this knowledge to the duty of the President in safeguarding the reserves.

I wish to run for President as a public duty. I do not wish to receive a large salary as President and will be willing to donate at least 50% of the salary to charity and other worthy causes. I hope that you will give me your support and will encourage your friends, colleagues, neighbors to support me. Please help me to pass this message to them.

Tan Kin Lian
Candidate for President of Singapore

Relax, relax and relax

If you complain, it is like spiritual cancer! This was an ancient ironic story that I like to share with you. Note: (My good friend sent me this story by e-mail)
There was a woodcutter who felt very unhappy because he had to work so hard then could earn some money.
One day, he felt so angry and kept on complaining to his wife when taking lunch. It affected wife's mood badly. The daughter also became furious and accidentally put more than a spoonful of salt in the dish. Ha ha ha, the woodcutter ate this dish and became more angry. He thought that life was miserable and even could not have good meal either.
He stopped eating and stormed back to the mountain side to chop and chop. While chopping the woods, he kept on grumbling about his unlucky life to the other wood cutters.
Because of the anger , his axe was flying out and hit a passerby. Do you know who was the passerby? Ha ha ha, he was the visiting prince of the neighbouring country. The consequence was that the prince sent the troops to attack the country and the war broke out.
This little story gave us the reminder. It is like spiritual cancer!!
Why do I have to say "complain" is the soul of cancer?
I have the following two reasons:
Blaming create diffusion: If a man often blame everyone and then both comment on that. Then, his (her) emotions can easily be passed to other men. This negative atmosphere can affect even the entire community, little by little, grudge against each others within the population.
Wow, complaint can take away your "nutrients" (the same good fortune).
complaint can take away your happiness, self-confidence, power gradually.
So: If you complain, this is spiritual cancer! don't let "complain" affect your life.
It is good to spread the good story out, so that everybody can learn something.

Welcome everybody
