Appreciation from a supporter

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for taking the courage to come forward to stand in the Presidential election, though you have not make it and lost your deposit etc. 

Mr Tan, I know you are the people's people and I am definitely sure there is a purpose for the defeat.  With your 'voices of the people' website I know moving forward singaporeans need an avenue for them to voice out.   A good example, the result shows the high percentage of singaporeans still unhappy with even the current policies and that is why they vote others instead and want a active President with transparency and not a passive President just lay back and collect $m.  Knowing how the current system works, probably any feedback given to the civil service will not be actioned.  This is proven todate.   With your website, at least other singaporeans will know what is going on

Mr Tan, though I was unable to assist you due to the demise of my father, my family would like to thank you for your presence during the wake despite your tight schedule   You are really a people's person.   Imagine during the wake period, no sight of the presence or a note of condolences from his MP.   This is really sad.  Compared to opposition wards I understand that their MPs make it a point to attend every wake in their ward.  This is really complacency and such MPs should not even exist.

Once again, thank you, Mr Tan.

Message from Tan Kin Lian

I congratulate Dr. Tony Tan for his success in this Presidential election.

I wish to thank the voters who have shown their confidence in me. The campaign has been a good experience for my campaign team and for me, and I was glad to meet many ordinary people in Singapore who has greeted me with warmth and friendship.

My family and I also thank all my campaign volunteers, supporters, donors and well wishers for their dedication, tireless energy and care throughout the campaign.

I will continue to demonstrate my care and concern for the people of Singapore and will strive to be the Voice of the People through other channels.
