Unfortunately, you are displaying your ignorance here. His professional acturial qualification trumps any BA or BSc (even in PPE from Oxford) in prestige.
So it was not education. It was him.
I'm sure ignorant.
I got that info from his cv.

Education: GSC 1965, HSC 1967
Can you count professional qualifications as education?
If it is, why is it not listed under Education. It is not education so it is listed under Professional Qualifications.
Tan Kin Lian may have professional qualifications but he didn't have a lot of education apart from Higher School Certificate.
It is still his education because he has no university education. That is why he speak like some Ah Beng or taxi driver.
And that's why many Singaporeans who are university grads don't want to vote for him.
Ps. Don't take this too seriously, if it makes you happy that I'm ignorant, then let me be ignorant. By the way, I have primary 6 only, if that makes you happy.
