Dear Fellow Singaporeans



In the interest of transparency and in the spirit of being the voice of conscience,

this to correct the false impression that is conveyed in the Sunday Times article about tjs.



Tjs has no moral righteousness, compass or anchor and blows where the winds of opportunity takes him. He quit as PPS when it became apparent that he would not become perm sec. Tjs is driven by greed and selfishness.



After quitting the government, he joined Morgan Grenfell, then Peregrine Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and finally AIB Govett.



When Morgan Grenfell came knocking, tjs jumped at the chance. He promised to bring in much monies from the Malaysian conglomerates which he came into contact with during his tenure at MTI. His results at Morgan Grenfell speak for themselves, tjs did not deliver the monies and his peers soon found that he was a light weight load of hot air.



Tjs had a contributory role in Bank Peregrine’s demise. He did not dispense proper advice that the investment into an Indonesian concern was not viable. Tjs, the person at the site did not do proper due diligence.



At AIB Govett, it was reported that his strength was in policy making. This firm collapsed whilst others survived, obviously tjs’s policies were wrong. This forebodes poorly on the potential for tjs to be EP as at every employment stop he has demonstrated poor judgement. Translate this into safeguarding our nation’s reserves and it will result in disastrous consequences.



Tjs’s next stops at Standard Chartered Bank and Hi Green is also empty of significant contributions. He was forced out of Standard Chartered by his Indian boss.



His claim to be ‘not a lavish man’ is not true. In tjs ‘high flying’ years, tjs openly boasted that his income tax contributions were higher than an average man’s annual income. Tjs aspired to the lifestyle of his successful PAP friends and his banking colleagues. Tjs had his fair share of thoughts about redeveloping his Frankel Avenue house into a mansion.



It is obvious that tjs squandered his wealth on ill conceived and dubious ventures in his empty years. If tjs had prudently invested his wealth, he would be fairly well off. This can be verified by any banker.



2006 till present, tjs was unemployable as by that time the banking industry had seen tjs for what he was, no substance and only hot air.



Let the people exam tjs’s empty years for themselves. And these were indeed empty as he was trying to chase his ‘China make money’ dream backed up by casual connections made when he accompanied government officials in China state visits.



There was the attempt at marketing Chinese breast enhancement drug treatments in Singapore.



His attempt to provide training of bank personnel also failed as tjs could not deliver what he promised.



There is also an erroneous reporting that Tjs’s wife was an investment banker. This is inaccurate. Pls verify which investment bank she was employed under. In fact, Mrs tjs abused her position when she was with their 4th child. NTUC Income would not grant her paid maternity leave so she took unpaid leave but traded on her information from the NTUC Income equity positions she managed to make money for herself. In what ever manner one looks at this, this is a conflict of interest.



Tjs’s selective use of reality makes him dangerous to Singapore.



Reporting tjs an independent candidate is also very wrong. He was brought up through the PAP system and for a time worked within the system when he was PPS to DPM GOH. In truth, tjs is a rogue PAP minion setting out his own agenda to revenge the wrong that he perceives the PAP has done to him under the disguise of public interest.



Tjs cannot claim to be a people’s man and have the Singaporeans’ interest at heart. For those who know tjs, tjs thinks highly of himself, is full of himself, highly opinionated, talks down to people. Tjs can no way be representative of Singapore’s President.



I feel that tjs does not have our nation’s interest at heart; tjs has an axe to grind with the PAP because he is disgruntled that his dreams of higher government office was not realized.



This is very dangerous and a threat to our country’s stability and because of this I feel strongly that when reporting on tjs the truth must be correctly reported.



Best regards,

These are mistakes financial people make. If you want to fault him on these then those clowns in Temasek and GIC would have to be shot. These people waste citizens money.
At least his conduct and character is proper. He sued no one bankrupt and never imprisoned fellow citzens without trial. To me a poitical leader who does these have no moral right to be a country leader much less a figure head president which the citizens can look up to.

How do you know Jee Say is a angel? Did he serve the people in any way except join the Street Demonstration Party?
 
An apparent problem is the lack of track record in community service for so many years. Want to speak up but where is the history of having done so. Is having had the foresight to see this GE and PE as a change election, taking a stand and participating, putting at risk his young family out there for all to examine enough of public service? Doing it not once, but twice in3 months - does it count for something? Is the symbolism of a former govt high-flier airing differences with the government enough of a public service to tell our children they can debate the govt? How about risk of not getting the COE? Risk of losing big in this election?

To take these risks, for sure he's quite energetic, and a go-getter. Clearly the work record is not the same as somebody who has successfully headed a big bank for a long time. (Such a tycoon usually won't step forward anyway, unless one is really big with the govt). For sure no legal problems. No ethical or moral problems. Otherwise PEC would have picked it up and rejected him. Then comes question of fine judgement, luck, to make big money by forecasting market trends correctly. Actually no way to compare this skill head to head across all 4 candidates. They all start from different base. He's washer-woman's son, no connections; others very much more priviledged in family and political background. So not sure what these unverifiable rumours mean for his character. For sure, he has completed his NS as an officer etc.
 
Tan Jee Say rebuts online rumours

Mr Tan Jee Say

Editor’s note: Rumours casting doubts on Mr Tan Jee Say’s character began to circulate on the Net right at about the time he was nominated to run for Presidential Election, resulting in mainstream media reporters hounding Mr Tan for answers to the Net rumours.

Mr Tan decided to contact Temasek Review Emeritus to rebut some of these rumours. We present Mr Tan’s rebuttal here.

Allegations 1-3:

1. “When Morgan Grenfell came knocking, TJS jumped at the chance. He promised them to bring in much monies from the Malaysian conglomerates which he came into contact with during his tenure at the Ministry of Trade & Industry. His results at Morgan Grenfell speak for themselves, TJS did not deliver the monies and his peers soon found that he was a light weight load of hot air.”

Rebuttal: Morgan Grenfell did not need TJS to bring in business from Malaysian conglomerates; it had an office in KL and great contacts with Malaysian govt and conglomerates. TJS helped Morgan Grenfell win major business deals in other countries such as the Singtel privatisation, the first-ever telecom privatisation deal that Morgan Grenfell ever won worldwide.

2. “His stay at Peregrine Bank was just as short lived. In fact, he had a contributory role in Bank Peregrine’s eventual demise. His poor judgement, resulted in his failure to dispense proper advice that the investment into an Indonesian concern was not viable. TJS, the person responsible, failed to do appropriate due diligence. Peregrine’s bankruptcy saw him packing his bags again.”

Rebuttal: TJS was not involved with Peregrine’s “investment” in the Indonesian concern that triggered Peregrine’s collapse. It was a fixed income deal, not an equity one and so was outside his purview. It was handled directly by the Fixed Income Desk together with the Jakarta office. He left Peregrine before, not after, its collapse.

3. “At AIB Govett, it was reported that his strength was in policy making. This firm collapsed whilst others survived. Obviously TJS’s policies were wrong.”

Rebuttal: AIB Govett was bought over by another fund management group in the UK during a time when there was consolidation in the industry which saw many fund management companies being acquired by other firms. The new owner decided to close down the Singapore office. This occurred a few years after TJS had left AIB Govett.

* Temasek Review Emeritus would like to thank Mr Tan Jee Say for his willingness to engage online critics directly.
 
Interesting that a rag like TRE can produce such gems.
Now I am even more convinced steffychun is PAP IB.
