Edit

While Straits Times 慾ournalist?Tessa Wong was quick to quote 慳nonymous?sources to smear presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian one week ago, she failed to use the sources made available to her even when they were widely circulated on the internet.
In her article published in the Straits Times today entitled 揂nother Tan joins the fray? Tessa Wong did not bother to reproduce the key points in pro-Singaporean leader Mr Tan Jee Say抯 press statement posted on his blog yesterday saved for the opening paragraph that he is contesting the election on behalf of Singaporeans who want a president independent of the PAP.
In contrast, the Straits Times published most of PAP-endorsed candidate Tony Tan抯 press statement when he first announced his candidacy.
Instead of focusing on the most important part of Mr Tan抯 statement calling for a candidate with moral authority to check on the PAP regime which has lost its 憁oral compass? Tessa Wong chose to question Mr Tan抯 eligibility to contest in the presidential election.
揙ne of several ways to be eligible to run for president is to have headed a company with at least $100 million paid-up capital, for at least three years. Alternatively, he could have held a comparable position in an organisation of equivalent size or complexity,?Tessa wrote.
It is highly unlikely that the PAP-controlled Presidential Election Committee (PEC) will allow Mr Tan to contest as his company did not have $100 million dollars in paid-up capital when he was there.
The stringent criteria for the eligibilty to contest in the Presidential election such as being a former minister is specifically put in place to ensure that the PAP is able to get its own candidate into the Istana as a form of 慽nsurance?for the repressive regime to maintain its stranglehold on the nation in the event of a 慺reak?election. To put it bluntly, the Elected President is there to safeguard the PAP抯 future rather than Singapore抯 reserves.

You are either not intelligent or just plain naive.

Most people don't have the time and thus read the headlines or the jounalist's op-ed piece. Ever seen a newspaper or broadcast where you only see the full press statements and nothing else. You can slant an entire press release if the press has no integrity and thus losing their credibility. And we are referring to ......?

Boy, with an imbecile like you, there is no hope for this country.

Peasant Kojakbt is similar to the character, Alice In Wonderland.

Let us use the Big Balls Theorem to verify why Lackey Tessa Wong wrote her trash to glorify the regime's choice while smearing m&d on the pariahs.

Lackey Tessa Wong is simply not a fool. Her application of the Big Balls Theorem proved she must support her bosses at the Mouthpiece to exhort stupid peasants to vote for the most obedient Tan. If she writes the truth, Asiatic peasants will simply make some noises at coffee shops and still vote for the most obedient Tan while she has to think of new ways to pay off her housing loans.

Therefore given the constraints Lackey Tessa has, it is unfair to smear m&d since she has decided selling conscience will give her a better shot at life and not depend on the misery Annulities payout at the end of her life.

Big boy or old man like you still need to be spoonfed like school boys?
You mean a country has better hope for such people? No wonder FTs and foreigners look down on you!

I rest my case.
