Tan Cheng Bok - The Strong Silent Candidate?

[Confuseous]

"Since the Presidential Elections Committee was convened on 1 June 2011, the spotlight has been on Mr Tan Kin Lian. His statements and actions have drawn fierce sounding warnings from

1 current President
1 ex-Minister of Law
1 current Minister of Law
1 Deputy Prime Minister"

Dr TCB's silence is deafening. He better fight back because the other Dr Tan is steadily raising his already high profile with heavyweight endorsements despite him claiming he is not backed by any party.

Unfortunately, the official election campaign has not begun yet. Dr TCB can only try to raise his profile via appearances are public locations and events for the moment.

On the other hand, the other independent candidate will continue to dominate the media coverage and limelight without having to do much. That is the advantage of being the "INDEPENDENT" candidate, whom Inderjit would not find the least awkward to support.

There is an interesting blog post by Emmanuel Daniel which casts TCB in a different, not flattering light ; reflects somewhat on the hoi polloi and typical Singapore bureacracy and profit making mindset, and most of all on the egoistic poster. Its very long ( as usual ) and is an attempt to display his wordliness, high powered friends, his learnedness etc. If you can stand his crafty writing style, go read it...
