What went down at Tan Jee Say’s Toa Payoh rally last night? Read it here in two minutes...
So what does Jee Say hope to be as Singapore president?
He wants to change the direction of the presidency to reflect what people aspire it to be.
Simply because people want a president who has the courage to question the Government that is resting on its laurels or trying too hard to maintain the status quo.
He says, “The government of today is not the government our parents entrusted their lives and families to in the decades past.”
“This government needs to be challenged and checked if we do not want them to be complacent”.
I think this is needed and has more value for money because a president shouldn’t be paid a lot of money every year to walk around East Coast Park for as long as he likes.
Tan Jee Say also defended his career record. He says it is “not uncommon” for people in the financial sector to explore other job offers and move within the sector. He attained his goals during his time at one job and simply moved on.
I think that is acceptable. Because only people in elected office get to change jobs while staying still. Like Goh Chok Tong. From Senior Minister to Emeritus Shemeritus. Or His Leeness, from Senior Minister to Minister Mentor.
