PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2011 - MESSAGE FROM TAN KIN LIAN
- be a voice of the people
- be independent of the PAP Government and
- safeguard your CPF money and Singapore’s Reserves
I wish to run for President as a public duty. I don’t wish to receive a large salary and will donate at least half of the salary to charity and other worthy causes.
I hope that you will give me your support and together we can build a better future for all Singaporeans.
Yours sincerely,
Tan Kin Lian
National Day message in 4 languages (http://www.ustream.tv/
National Day Rally Speech by PM Lee
PM Lee started with the challenges that Singapore has to face in the near future due to the debt crisis and possible economic slowdown in America and Europe. While we have to be prepared for the worst, I share his confidence that Singapore has the resilience to overcome these challenges. If the past reserves need to be tapped to meet the crisis, I ask the Government to adopt measures that will help the people directly in addition to the measures to help businesses.
I am encouraged by two key thrusts in his speech:
- He identified the important issues faced by the people, i.e. housing, jobs, education and health care and has proposed some measures to address them
- He reiterated his commitment towards a more open and consultative approach and welcomed the inputs from the people.
I have personal experience of sending suggestions to several ministries on public transport, work issues and red tape and, apart from receiving a polite acknowledgement, there was no further development.
I am contesting the Presidential election on the promise to be "the Voice of the People". If I am elected, I will be able to help the Government in the process of reforming our policies, using a more open, transparent and consulting approach.
I like to send best wishes to the PM Lee and his Government in dealing with these issues and will be interested to help the Government to find better solutions in the future, in whatever capacity I may be in.

Medical Transcription Software | Medical Transcriptionist Salary
The programs are becoming better, offering more tools to make the job easier, faster and more accurate. The medical transcription software is also easier to use and helps increase the speed of the work. Not only that, but the programmers make sure the software works with all types of computer operating systems.
It’s possible for you to use a simple word processing program, but there are a wide variety of other programs that will help you do the job better. You can find software for faster typing, abbreviations, templates to create invoices and various ways to send your completed files. Check out medical transcription software and medical transcriptionist salary also.
Medical Language Transcription Software
Specialized software made specifically for medical transcription includes all of the terminology and words used commonly in the business. It’s not unlike using a word processing program, but it’s designed to aid the transcriptionist with the vocabulary used by health professionals. One such program is provided by Sylvan Software, called Sylvan Complete Medical Pharmaceutical Spell Check Dictionary.
Medical Transcription School | Medical Transcriptionist Salary
Some schools are not accredited, so you need to make sure the medical transcription school of your choice is. You’ll also want to check to see if they offer the courses you need and that they use the resources you require to become a verifiable medical transcriptionist. The equipment they use is also important. It needs to be the actual software that you’ll be using to do your job in the future.
You should also select a school where the teachers provide constructive criticism and prepare you for the job with no less than 30 hours of transcription practice. Check out home based medical transcription and medical transcriptionist salary.
Home Based Medical Transcription | Medical Transcriptionist Salary
You may opt to go into business for yourself, or choose to work for another company. Either way, providing medical transcription from home allows you to be independent and work as you please. Going to school and training to get some qualifications or certification will certainly help you in finding work as a transcriptionist or in your own home business.
Work at home medical transcription
Many people recognize the opportunity offered by providing transcription services from home-to either medical or legal professionals or both. (Check out discharge transcription services and medical transcriptionist salary too)
As a home-based medical transcriptionist, you’ll be responsible for quickly and accurately transcribing medical records. All health care professionals, including doctors, dentists, hospitals and clinics need transcription work done. There’s a whole range of documents that need to be transcribed such as notes, pathology reports, X-ray reports, psychiatric evaluations and discharge documents.
Watershed Presidential Election
Non-partisan
(Mr. Tan Kin Lian) also appealed to Singaporeans to be non-partisan when they head to the polls.
He said: "Most of the people are looking at whether you're in the PAP camp or in the opposition camp. But my platform is to be above politics, because I'm appealing to all Singaporeans - regardless of which political party you're (affiliated to) - to think about the future for Singapore."
Donate at least half of President's salary
I respect you for stating at the start of the campaign that you will be donating at least half of the President's salary towards charity and other worthy causes. You stated in clearly in statements to the media and in you campaign website. Recently, you challenged the other candidates to state their stand on this issue.
Tan Jee Say said that he will donate the "bulk of his salary" but this statement is not clearly stated as part of his manifesto. It is only mentioned in the media interview. I hope that he will follow soon with a clear statement in writing and explain what is "the bulk".
Dr. Tan Cheng Bock had said that he will not make any pledge as it is akin to "buying votes". You can read the views of netizens on this matter here: http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/tan-cheng-bock-won-t-pledge-donate-pay-045514750.html#mwpphu-container
And, we have not heard from Dr. Tony Tan. He is so rich that he can donate all of the salary. After all, he is getting a fat pension.
Thank you, Mr. Tan KL, for setting a good example. I hope that you will win the election and your example will be emulated by all the ministers, who are also getting get high salaries.

Approaching unions for endorsements
It was a great experience to interact with many Singaporeans who reacted warmly to me. During the last 35 years, I have made many friends and they are now coming forward to give me their support. I hope that this support will be reflected in the voting on 27 August.
The journalists asked for my views about the endorsements by several unions for Dr. Tony Tan. I replied that I would welcome endorsements from unions and cooperative societies, but I would not approach them as I do not wish to put them in a difficult position in having to decide on endorsing or declining a candidate that is not supported by the government. I prefer to be endorsed by the ordinary people, who will be casting their votes in the Presidential election.
