Nicole Seah praises Tan Jee Say: He is the right man with the ‘heart’ for the job
Popular young politician Nicole Seah has praised pro-Singaporean candidate Tan Jee Say as being the right man with the ‘heart’ for the presidency.
Nicole was accompanying Jee Say on a visit to a soup kitchen Willing Hearts High Point in Geylang that provides meals for the needy on Saturday.
“He’s the person who really makes the cut because he is independent of the incumbent government. He has a heart, he’s a brilliant thinker and he has really very wide views, encompassing issues such as the economy and education,” Nicole told the state media.
Jee Say was a PSC scholar and graduated with a degree in Politics, Economics and Philosophy from Oxford University. He served as a Principal Private Secretary of Deputy Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong from 1985 to 1991.
“He’s the right person, he can engage with people whether it’s just the man in the street or one of the elite,” Nicole added.
Born to a poor family of ten, Jee Say is able to connect with ordinary Singaporeans unless an elitist candidate who was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth.
Nicole and Jee Say also visited the neighbouring Green Avenue Home for the Elderly and listened to the concerns raised by the home, such as the income ceiling for those who are eligible for subsidies.
“They need help to cope with rising prices because they have contributed to our country in the past, if you look at it from the economic point of view. [From a compassionate viewpoint], they are our own people and they need help,” he said.
