SINGAPORE: Former NTUC Income Chief Tan Kin Lian has confirmed that he will be running in the Presidential Election, which must be held by August 31. On his blog, Mr Tan wrote that he will contest if given the certificate of eligibility. He also shared his thoughts on the key role of safeguarding the reserves that the elected President has to play. Calling it "holding the second key", he said former President Ong Teng Cheong had expressed difficulty in performing this role. Mr Tan said there are two main concerns Singaporeans had shared through Internet postings on the reserves. One was the safety of the Central Provident Fund and if the government has enough money to make payouts to Singaporeans at their respective withdrawal dates. The other concern was whether there are reserves to protect Singapore's economic security in the challenging global financial environment. Mr Tan said these concerns were worsened by the decline in trust in the government in recent years and a lack of transparency on the reserves. He said as the constitution required the elected President to give approval of past reserves or "reserves accumulated by previous governments", an understanding was needed of what is defined as "reserves", and what is considered "past reserves" and "current reserves". Mr Tan said he will be studying a White Paper, published after former President Ong Teng Cheong completed his term in 1999, on the principles of the role to understand if it helped the President to <b>...</b>

Singapore Presidential election 2011

I am sick and tired of PAP and the interlink ties amongst Tony Tan & Tan Cheng Bock. We need a true independent Presidential Candidate with no political agenda as our Head of State. Tan Kin Lian was a PAP cadre member but he DID NOT stand in any General Elections and fought for Singaporeans during the minibond crisis. He also improved NTUC income to ensure it is beneficial to Singaporeans. I am utterly disgusted by Tan Jee Say's claim that he is politically independent. This is bull sh**. Tan Jee Say has close ties with SDP and he mentioned he wants to boost the profile for opposition for GE2016. Tan Jee Say is not truly independent as what he claims. Isn't ties with SDP considered a political tie? Didn't he speak at the election rallies in GE 2011? I notice even his PE rally reeks of an opposition rally. Tan Jee Say also admitted it himself that he is independent from PAP in his own rally! What is he trying to say? And see Goh Meng Seng's assessment of Tan Jee Say. I've always like Goh Meng Seng frank brutal remarks. Vote Tan Kin Lian, as the Voice of the People!

He will issue a full statement later on Tuesday.

He was then undecided then as his wife, fearing a "possible smear campaign" had initial reservations about his participation. He also mentioned the fact that he also came from a humble background, and as such, was not sure he could fit the "ceremonial and diplomatic role of the Presidency."

Mr Tan Kin Lian believes he will be able to "think out of the box" and take a different perspective from the government on issues, as he has never been a Member of Parliament or Minister. He said: "To help me keep in touch with the people, I will form a President Personal Council comprising people from many segments of our society. They will help me to identify the important issues that affect Singaporeans. I will adopt a constructive and cooperative approach in working with the government to understand these issues and help to find the appropriate solutions." The Presidential Candidate Broadcast was aired on all the four language channels, with some candidates personally recording their message in more than one language. The candidates will have one more TV broadcast on the eve of Polling Day, which is also the Cooling-off Day.

His friend, Png Eng Huat, collected the necessary forms on his behalf from the Elections Department on Friday morning. Mr Png, who is the deputy webmaster of the Workers' Party, was at the Elections Department at 10.10am, three days after the forms for the Presidential Election were made available. Mr Png said he has known Mr Tan Kin Lian for nearly 20 years and was helping him to collect the forms since he was in the area. However, he did not confirm if Mr Tan is intending to stand in the upcoming Presidential Elections, adding that they were going to look through the criteria first. At noon, Mr Tan posted on his blog, saying he has not decided on the matter, as his wife has reservations. He said: "First there's a bit of fear about being smeared - either through the media or through the internet. Of course, it affects my wife more than me. In my case I said it doesn't matter if people want to take a negative opinion. I'm not too concerned but my wife is more concerned about this smearing and whether I'll get into trouble or not.

SINGAPORE: Presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian on Thursday shared that if he were elected into office, he will propose a salary of about S$1500 per month for men undergoing national service. This can be in the form of cash and CPF contribution. Full-time national servicemen currently receive between S$420 and S$1270, depending on the rank and vocation. Mr Tan had previously called for national servicemen to be compensated more fairly for national service. He had suggested that they should receive an allowance similar to that of a regular soldier of the Singapore Armed Forces. Mr Tan also said that if elected, he will propose a pension of between S$500 and S$700 per month for Singaporeans once they reach 75 or 80 years old. He said that such senior citizens usually do not have much money left in their bank accounts. Mr Tan was speaking to reporters at a media conference at the Central Business District.

SINGAPORE: The four presidential candidates on Friday made their final pitch over national TV before Singaporeans go to the polls on Saturday. In their second and final Presidential Candidate Broadcast, the candidates focused on what they would do if elected and their ability to empathise with Singaporeans. Mr Tan Kin Lian repeated his proposals for a President Personal Council, giving more to NSmen and the elderly. He also spoke of how he stood up for those who lost their savings in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse. He said: "Some commentators have said that the President does not have executive power to improve better life for the people. They are mistaken. With a strong mandate from the people, the President will be able to use his influence on government policies, especially when he is asked to release some of the past reserves."

SINGAPORE: Presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian said he looks forward to a constructive relationship with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, should he be elected. Mr Tan said he intends to influence the government within the constitution. Mr Tan said he views himself as being the only neutral and non-partisan candidate. He added he wants to follow in the footsteps of the late former president Ong Teng Cheong. "(Mr) Ong knows his duty as a president, to safeguard the reserves; he did his best to act independently and to ask questions... I will follow his example," Mr Tan said. "The Constitution does not say the president cannot connect with people; the constitution does not say that the president cannot listen to people and bring their concerns to the government. "And this is what I want to do, and I want to tell the people, have the courage to vote for me. And I will have the courage to do what has to be done." Mr Tan said he's confident he will gain more than 12.5 per cent of the votes and will not lose his deposit. Mr Tan said he has a shoestring budget of about S$50000 for his campaign. Some 2000 posters will be put up at various parts of Singapore. He will also be stepping up his outreach activities, by meeting people at MRT stations, food courts and attending community events. Supporters of Mr Tan -- some of whom are former staff of NTUC Income and unionists -- said they are rallying behind the ex-NTUC Income.

SINGAPORE: Presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian on Sunday explained why he left NTUC Income as Chief Executive Officer. Mr Tan was responding to reporters during a visit to Shunfu Market and Food Centre on Sunday morning. Mr Tan said he disagreed with several members of the NTUC Income board and that was why he decided to leave NTUC Income in 2006. He said several board members of NTUC Income had asked if it should become commercialised when he was at the cooperative. He said: "I disagreed with this. It is not just the current board. It is over a number of years. Of course, when the time comes, at the end of 30 years, they decided to make a change. And I think it is good that they wanted to make a change so I also wanted to make a change in my life. That is why I agreed to leave NTUC Income." When asked to name the board members, Mr Tan declined to elaborate further. Mr Tan was accompanied by his wife and his supporters during his morning visit. The 63-year-old said he hopes he would receive the Certificate of Eligibility to run for the presidency early, so that he will have more time to work on his campaign plans. The Presidential Elections Committee has until August 16, the eve of Nomination Day, to announce its decision.
