Endorse Tan Kin Lian

I have decided to vote for Tan Kin Lian as President of Singapore for the following reasons:


1. He really cares for the welfare and well-being of ordinary people by expressing his concerns and making suggestions on the following issues:
· the affordability of HDB flats
· unemployment insurance for the workers
· the widening income gap between the elites and ordinary workers
· the transportation woes of ordinary people
· the high public medical fee
· the need of minimum wage
· the selling of complex credit-link notes to ordinary people
· the selling of high cost and low yield insurance products to ordinary people

2. When he was the CEO of NTUC Income, he implemented many low cost insurance policies (with low commission costs) which benefited many ordinary Singaporeans.


3. He also expressed his concerns on the high ministerial salaries and the record high salaries/bonuses of the elites.


4. He spoke up for the ordinary people who lost money to toxic products sold by banks


5. He prefers to adopt a conservative approach in the investment of our national reserves


6. He has indicated he would donate at least 50% of the President’s annual salary to a charity set up to promote causes which he believes in.
