Concerns of the people

I read the views of Dr. Tony Tan on the role of the President. He now wants to understand the concerns of the people and to bring them to the attention of the government, using the appropriate channels, i.e.both formal and informal. 

Dr. Tony Tan now shares my position (stated in my statements found in www.tkl2011.com) that the President must speak up on behalf of Singaporeans. With our views converging, voters now have to decide on who can act independently of the Government in looking after the interest of the people.


It seems that Dr Tony Tan also disagrees with the Law Minister that the President cannot speak without the approval of the cabinet.
