Tan Kin Lian admits he was SACKED from INCOME

[MarrickG]

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful and former NTUC Income chief Tan Kin Lian has revealed that he was asked to leave the insurance cooperative in 2006.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, he disclosed the reasons for his sudden departure from the company he helmed for nearly 30 years. 'When I ran NTUC, I ran it quite differently from what my board wanted. The board wanted NTUC to be more commercial. I wanted NTUC to be more cooperative. So I struggled with my board over the years,' said Mr Tan.

Ask to leave is very different from sack hor... Sacked still got some form of $$$ benefit... Leaving only save his FACE.

It is about saving face.

He is a likely pick by conservative older Chinese-educated voters who have issues with PAP?

And the PAP mudslinging machinery kicks in. Don't you guys realize politics in Singapore has moved on from the famed days of the PAP smear?

This is all a ploy to elect the Tan Jee Say guy in. We don't know anything about him yet everyone wants to vote him in
