The "many people" inside his head have caused serious impairment to his judgment.
also caused lost votes for TCB :(
I will donate $4.91 to TKL for his $48k recoup fund
TKL did not do very bad. He wanted 100 000 signatures to support his run but from the 5% out of 2.2 million who voted for him, he got 110 000 votes. He got what he bargained for.
Yes, now he got what he wanted he has to stand for the next GE.
"Many people want me to be the voice of the people; thats why I am standing for election as MP".
Well, he finally got his 100,000 support signatures.
Mr Tan Kin Lian received 103,931 votes.

Should ask Where are the Many peeper...
Somehow I feel TKL did not eat into TJS vote bank but it TCB middle ground votes he took away.
My reason being there are always a group of fence sitters who wants independent and non-confrontational president. TT and TJS is obviously out.
Thus their choice will be between TCB and TKL. TCB independence stance is dubious as he was an ex-PAP MP who resigned just before GE. Whereas TKL was just a cadre and resigned from PAP long ago. In this sense TKL had the edge over TCB.
I have no doubt if TKL didn't contest, TCB will win the election.
I personally thought he handled the defeat well and with grace. When he conceded the elections early and mentioned that he might lose his deposit to the press, he was upfront. He did not hide or was evasive. I am sure that he will learn 2 lessons from this. To pick better advisors and understand his own shortcomings. I saw that his wife also handled it well. I don't think he will make it in GE either. Too many prominent negative attributes.
perhaps...but think he screwed up again wif his lame post in his blog in the wee hours of the AM...this chap really CMI as a politician...
