Nicole Seah stands against GCT

Email sent to me.

Wow, she is pretty good. Also standing up against GCT

At age 24, I dismissed her candidacy until I saw her interview. Mature and passionate for her age.

She will win some votes.

Should DPM Wong resign over Mas Selamat?

Sent to TKL blog

Is the present parliamentary debate on issues fruitful? Watch the Mas Selamat debate in Parliament, a national security case and you be the judge; remember when you cast your vote. Mas Selamat -shoud DPM resign - 3 seconds and it is settled. PM Lee threw the question to Low Thia Kiang and stared at him for 3 seconds and announced that the matter is settled. What a brilliant way to settle an important issue.

Impartial civil service

Dear Mr. Tan
Please post in your blog:

As Head of Singapore Civil Service, shouldn't Mr. Peter Ong Boon Kwee pledge to Singaporeans that the Civil Service will continue to carry out it's duty to serve Singapore regardless of the party that wins the General Elections?

Affordable HDB flats

Is it possible to peg the HDB flat prices to the median income of Singaporeans without causing too much harm to those who bought the flats previously at the higher prices? You can read my suggestion at TKL website or click here.

I support the suggestion by the Workers Party in the manifesto and disagree with the replies given by the PAP minister.

Message to undergraduates

Hi 

I wish to encourage you to create your own financial plan using the tool in the website link You can try a few financial plans to generate the plan that is most suitable for your needs. You can also help your parents to prepare their financial plans.

You can also pass this link to your family and friends and encourge them to do their own financial plan (DIY) also.

Remember. When you start work, many insurance agents (or financial advisers) will ask you to buy their long term products. By that time, it is too late for you to learn what is best for your future. You will sign on a bad product, including a life insurance policy, and be locked into a losing investment for the next 30 years.  

Act now to educate yourself and be savvy enough to protect your own financial future!
