Recently Zaobao reported that the actor will seriously consider any invitation to stand for GE.
He said: "Based on my interest in politics, plus to my age, if you can stand for the community to make some contribution together with others, I think I will not refuse. If invited, I think it is an honor, I would not easily refusal would seriously consider. "
But is Singapore society is able to accept entertainers as members of government?
Tay Ping Hui believes that the maturity and acceptance of Singaporeans should not be underestimated.
"I firmly believe that all things are possible. Whether actors, singers, or engaged in any work, as long as it was a sincere love of our country, with integrity, character, why not? Important thing, is whether the person can contribute, rather than his occupation. "
Tay Ping Hui admitted that the benefit of being a celebrity can help the work of politicians, but ultimately you must rely on personal strengths to serve the people and win the trust of voters.
Tay, who has always been concerned about the local political dynamics, hopes that one day he will see cabinet ministers and opposition representatives having hot topic debates on television.
"I think this will enhance public awareness of these issues, but also make them more concerned with political development."
