SINGAPORE: Singapore presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian has pledged to be a President who would make life better for Singaporeans, if he is voted into office.
Speaking at a rally at Yio Chu Kang Stadium, he repeated his call to form a President's Personal Council to help him keep in touch with the people, hear their concerns and work with the government to find solutions.
15 speakers took to the stage at Mr Tan Kin Lian's rally. They included opposition party members, former media company CEOs and a former president of the national netball team.
Mr Tan made his speeches in Singapore's four official languages.
From the onset, he sought to set himself apart from the other three presidential candidates. He spoke of his financial experience managing NTUC Income and his international exposure, having served on the board of a large international organisation for more than 15 years.
He said that having never contested in any general election, he is "neutral and non-partisan" and therefore, would be able to independently carry out the duties of the President.
He spoke about how he never shied from helping Singaporeans in need.
He said: "During the global financial crisis in 2008, more than 10,000 people lost their life savings in the minibonds crisis. I spoke out for them. In the future, when you have another major crisis, I will speak out for you as your President."
Mr Tan said he is standing for election as a public duty and outlined areas that he would champion if elected as President.
They include - giving better recognition to national servicemen, helping the elderly and sandwiched class, and making homes more affordable for first time buyers.
He also had this message for young Singaporeans.
Mr Tan said: "To the young people of Singapore, there is hope for a better future. You have studied hard and are prepared to work hard. You want to get a suitable job that pays well, sufficient to meet the cost of living, to raise a family, to pay for a flat and save for retirement.
"This is possible if you have the right leaders. The leaders who take care of the people. The leaders who is willing to speak out for the people. The voice of the people."
Thursday marks the last day of campaigning, where candidates will make a last ditch attempt to reach out to voters.

Now to all those who think I'm pro-TT, I disagree with this.
TKL has much to reveal especially during his time in the quasi-PAP NTUC.
TCB at least was open and dare defied the PAP whip to vote against the NMP scheme--which the covted TJS has not even talked about!!!
TCB opposed the increase of foreign talent!
TCB served his constituency and knows what the poor are like!

Nobody thinks you are pro-TT. You are simply anti-TJS. As long as TJS does not win, you are ok with any of the other candidates. This goes to show you are pro-PAP and there is nothing to be ashamed about

</tbody> SINGAPORE: Presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian on Thursday shared that if he were elected into office, he will propose a salary of about S$1,500 per month for men undergoing national service.
This can be in the form of cash and CPF contribution.
Full-time national servicemen currently receive between S$420 and S$1,270, depending on the rank and vocation.
Mr Tan had previously called for national servicemen to be compensated more fairly for national service.
He had suggested that they should receive an allowance similar to that of a regular soldier of the Singapore Armed Forces.
Mr Tan also said that if elected, he will propose a pension of between S$500 and S$700 per month for Singaporeans once they reach 75 or 80 years old.
He said that such senior citizens usually do not have much money left in their bank accounts.
Mr Tan was speaking to reporters at a media conference at the Central Business District.

SINGAPORE - Presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian, asked about his high and low points in his campaign so far, said there were two low points - and both involved fellow candidate Tan Jee Say.
Said former NTUC Income CEO Tan: "The first low point was when Tan Jee Say applied for the Certificate of Eligibility, after I invited him to be part of my think tank", referring to his strategic team behind his presidential bid.
Mr Tan Kin Lian, speaking at a media conference at his campaign headquarters on Thursday afternoon, said that Mr Tan Jee Say had turned up for one meeting and added that "there was a disruption" after the former Singapore Democratic Party's General Election candidate decided to proceed with his own presidential campaign.
Mr Tan Kin Lian added that he thought he lost the support of much of the online media as a result.
He said his second low was when Mr Tan Jee Say was granted the Certificate of Eligibility to run for election. Said Mr Tan Kin Lian: "The criteria is you need a person who has run a company with S$100 million in capital. To my common sense, Tan Jee Say does not qualify."
His high points, he added, were seeing "many people come forward to help and volunteering their time" after he had announced his candidacy, as well as when he and his campaign team decided on his slogan, "Voice of the People".
A third high point was when his daughter, Ms Tan Su Ling, made a speech at his rally on Wednesday night.
Mr Tan Kin Lian also shared that if he were elected into office, he will propose a salary of about S$1,500 per month for men undergoing national service.
This can be in the form of cash and CPF contribution.

Is Mr TKL pitting his chance of winning from others not contesting? The media tangled a bait (high's and low's) to discredit and self-destruct non-appointed candidates, and gosh he took it with one big bite!!
