I met a TJS supporter today who was determined to prevent TT from becoming president. Yet, after a brief conversation I realized that he did not know about the 12 year disruption from NS that Patrick Tan got when TT was defence minister. He was shocked to find out he had a gem he didn't know about.
I then asked five other people (mostly TT supporters) who are all very literate and from across a wide age range - they all did not know either. When I told them, they were initially disbelieving but then it sank in when I suggested they looked it up rather than just trust me.
This general ignorance among voters is doubtless the result of the effectiveness of the MSM in blacking out this news beyond the MINDEF statements that the disruption was normal.
To all right-minded Singaporeans who do not want a TT presidency, please spread the word about PT. Please spread the word.
