Sunday Times shooting sugar arrows at Tan Kin Lian to sabotage political bid

And thus disprove Baliji's words - there are cards and there are CARDS.

Agree with your point of view.

There is another aspect of the cards that is material. His rather detailed revelation of his PAP status - laying down his cards. And his views of the PAP government.

It provides a sound basis for his new direction. And people will appreciate that.

The 100,000 signatures is however does indicate his political immaturity. There is a big difference between grassroots politics and real politics.

Well, its the same in China and in Saddam's Iraq. In Iraq, anyone who wanted a senior post in the Iraqi bureaucracy had to be a senior Baathi party member.

In China, every civil servant has to be a party member of the CCCP to become one.

Yes, truly a totalitarian system.

I agree with his views on the government.
Used to be very good at nation building and looking after the citizens, but has lost touch with the people and are too highly paid.
But I don't agree to the idea of having a petition.
In my mind, the people always matter more than the politicians.
Step forward for the elections and ask the people to vote for you, rather than ask the people to support you first and step forward only if there is enoough support.
Just my opinion.

I agree with your opinion too. Now he's unnecessarily branded as "petition king".

He needs to get an advisor of sorts- or at least consult friends across the spectrum. I think he could have announced it in a better way than this, I agree.

Share the same bro. The petition is really odd.

He's a CEO for 30 years and likely to have more intelligent voices around his ear than CST or LTK. This kind of idea can't have come from any one but himself. So this TKL strikes me as a very stubborn man, unsuitable for politics.

Well, if he wants to prove it to us that he can learn from his mistake, the time is now. If not, it'd be very unfortunate.

 

[Avantas]

What makes you say so, you have any proof ?

Look I didn't accuse him. I mentioned the word "if", and that makes a lot of difference.

Besides, haven't I said that I generally, so far, support his bid?
