I'm now convince that TKL is worst than GMS!

‎"I want to TEST the CHARACTER of the Singaporeans to see if they are willing to come forward and play a part, or expect other people to fight for them. So far, a few people have come forward and are quite generous according to their capacity. I need more to come forward and make this into their struggle as well." - TKL [1]

.... despite being a millionaire many times over from 30 years of CEO salary, TKL still wants to collect donations for his EP campaign.

To disguise his miserly ways, he instead calls his donation-collection a "test of the character of Singaporeans".

His struggle getting donations become Singaporeans' struggle.

If he can't get the money, Singaporeans fail.

Great!

The Insurance Guy Syndrome in him tells me that he could sense situation is bleak, tides are turning against him and is slowly paving a 'retreat' route by pre-informing the public that he has difficulty getting donations and intends to operate around $200K budget before a sudden throwing in of white towel later without having to appear as if he chickened out.

"...He has achieved much with hard work and common sense but he has one unfulfilled desire: "I want to have a PhD. I want to be Dr Tan Kin Lian! It's a test."

Of what?

"Of whether I can make it."... "Tan Kin Lian, 'Just catch me the rat' 147th Prostitute Press, 30 August 1992


I first dealt with TKL about 15 -20 years ago (can't recall exactly when) in soc.culture.singapore before Sam started Sammyboy forum.

What struck me then about TKL was his acute vanity and peacockish narcissm. His seemingly unquenchable thirst for the spotlight and desperate craving for the limelight were as constant as they were shameless.

I can't recall exactly his stupid answer when he was questioned on the ethics of him as CEO of NTUC spending $600, 000 of the cooperative's money on politically partisan RCs for their noticeboards in the 90s. He gave some stupid, forgettable reason/s just as he used to give vacuous replies and just as he used to parrot and vomit out the same, tired PAP's position on nearly every issue that he chose to argue about or comment on.

15-20 years later, we have an older but same old, egotistical Tan Kin Lian vomiting out the same trite replies and rubbish he was vomitting out 15-20 years ago.

Nothing has changed.

This answer he gave in his 1992 interview with the Prostitute Press, perhaps, is an honest indication on why he really wants to run for President. It has nothing to do with the trite, silly and inane rubbish he has been throwing up but everything to do with whether he, Tan Kin Lian, can "make it".

Being President would be Tan Kin Lian's personal and ultimate "test" of whether he can "make it".

I already put a post in another thread that TKL is a man who lives and breathes insurance and his life revolves around it. So every thought and action has to be guided by that mantra.
