I honestly didn't really care about his pretty girl controversy, but the way he was so quick to blame others and make ballsy accusations with no backing other than his own speculation really says a lot about his character. he can't even take accountability and handle a small scandal with grace, I don't want to imagine how he'll handle national or even international issues. Also, he claimed to care about young Singaporean's but he didn't even try to empathise with their opinions in this situation or fully hear out the hosts throughout the whole episode and then proceeded to call us, the audience, dumb. imo, being unable to explain well in simple terms shows lack of confidence in your own understanding. He just comes off as narcissistic and out of touch.

Obviously somebody scrutinized what he had said from any point in his life and make it into an issue now, at this golden moment during the PE, in an attempt to discredit him. God knows if he kept quiet, people like you will say he is not assertive enough, blah blah. He comes off as narcissistic and out of touch. Wow, have you taken a look at the PAP ministers?

Never have I felt so frustrated when watching an episode of TDK. He seems adamant on imposing his views, and didn’t bother to hear differing opinion Dan tries to bring across. If he can’t accept or is willing to hear opinions that differs from his, I wonder how accepting he will be to listen to Singaporeans concerns if he ever becomes our president. He also seems a little delusional at times, and brings up statements that can’t be backed by facts/data. But would like to thank Tan Kim Lian for coming out as an eligible candidate so that Singaporeans get an extra day of holiday this year. But frfr, we all know who our next president will be and it’s definitely not gonna be TKL. Looking forward to the next episode with our future president!

Whereas there are some who are what we called double headed snake, who could really hide their true nature just like acting and these are the ones whom the current fake society loves. So would one prefer someone who you never really get to see his true character or one who disappoints others by revealing his real face? Lies are soothing to the ears but truths are painful to hear.

He was the head of NTUC Income for many years. Knowing how these legacy local institutions operate, as the chief he was likely able to get his way with minimal or zero criticism or feedback, and all his staff likely took what he said as the gospel. I believe anyone who has worked in similar organisations can observe similar type of vibe when it comes to dealing with superiors - don't question, just do whatever boss says, boss is always right. After so many years he has gotten so used to this and probably thinks he is damn great and that his sh1t don't stink. Not saying this as an excuse for him but rather an indictment of how our local organisations operate.

Delusional is right. Wonder where he gets his confidence from. But such an attitude and view keeps him happy la. Good for him. He is also not listening to views. How can we accept a president like him? He doesn't even try to understand other views. Also, come on Mr Tan, whatever you post before you were running for president, of course no one cares because you are a nobody. But once you want to run for president, the behaviour of objectifying women becomes a concern obviously. Why is that hard to understand and also, you are not such a threat that people are trying to bring you down la. I think you already brought yourself down.

I think TKL genuinely believes he’s smart. And I think it’s because he hangs around a bunch of rusty old people all the time. Not to insult old people, but it’s a fact that a large number of them are more “simple minded”. And older generations of Singaporeans are more likely to be yes-men. If someone hangs around such people all the time, their reference for average intelligence adjusts to that level. No wonder TKL thinks he’s smarter than everyone else…

Some things even if technically not wrong, doesn't mean it's okay regardless the circumstance. When he commented on pretty girls while upholding the image of Internet troll, people accepted that as part of his trolling. He seriously gamed the system with all his troll posts even much better than youngsters. If people disagree with his actions back, they can choose to not see his posts. Because at most is the ladies feeling uncomfortable and irritated, but not violated. He is just him, an Internet troll. But now he serious about becoming president, then its whole different ball game. The symbol and representative of the country. The stakes are too high. Which in turn amplifies the negativity of the old posts. He is right to ask why years ago no one find fault with him, yet now it becomes so huge. All these organization used to ignore and suddenly now everyone after him. Unfair? Maybe. But this IS politics. Being president IS a big deal. And the answer for his questions is that from representing himself, he now wants to represent the people. So many people changed their mindset from "you are your own problem. Not my problem" in the past, to "it is going to be my problem now if he wants to represent me".

I'm an actuary and actually (pun intended) offended that TKL said his audience doesn't understand it, surely he should have learnt that communicating complex concepts in a lay person's manner is very much part of our skillset. Anyway, no idea what he means that you "that's not how countries accounting is usually done". Surely government spending (Edusave, other discretionary spendings) should be accounted under your annual P&L statements. Whether the amortisation of these spendings are done with the "right assumptions" would perhaps be a more judgmental process, that TKL could have a view on what's right or wrong. But his explanations were too broad brush... more details please Mr TKL. Don't forget that the SG govt. is able to plan longer term, and hence budget for such costs on a longer term rather than on a year by year basis. And whether sufficient reserves are needed to defend SGD, George Soros famously won a trade against the Bank of England back in the 90s. Whilst the SGD may not be as widely issued as the GBP, this clearly shows that you need substantial firepower to win such trades. Further, SG's MAS monetary policy is to ensure SGD stays within a FX range requires MAS (and further govt reserves) to be available to buy back the currency in case of an adverse movement. For example, it wouldn't be prudent to tell the everyone else how much money you have before going into a bet. Though I do agree that the govt. probably should not have used to much of a broad brush approach to help every company with wages during the pandemic, and that monetary assistance could have been more targetted.

I think Tan Kin Lian is quite emblematic of the people (esp the elderly) who fall behind with regard to social progress in current society. To some extent, even our PM Lee and Shanmugam fall victim to this, though of course not to the same extent. They don't understand that values have progressed over the years. People nowadays value more accountability, gender equality, a higher degree of respect between races, etc. It's a reminder to us all that we hardly know anything for certain, and to always stay updated with current affairs by reading perspectives from different groups, interacting with them, etc. Most importantly, stay open and humble to new perspectives even as we age and become more financially successful.

OMG! He is digging the hole for himself again! He said "Singapore would be better if 50% of female population were home makers": 1. With current high living costs, how do families cope with single income? Must the husbands work multiple jobs to bring up families? 2. If 50% of female were not working, then are we going to import more foreigners to make up for the shortfall across all sectors? Already we are facing housing issues, how do we cope with the influx in order to keep Singapore functioning? It must have been a tough episode for you guys to remain cool and calm to keep the interview going.... Good job 👍

One question: Recency and relevance of expertise. Tharman was serving as leader of PAP. NKS is actively running a Multi-B investment fund. Without PAP, after he left NTUC, what was his achievement the last 15-20 yrs?
@JtubeYouTube

This is a pain to watch especially when TKL is talking about the reserves. He clearly does not know the role of the president by saying he can set the investment policy for the reserves, this was repeated explicitly throughout this election that the president has no powers to do so. He claims to know how much reserves will be sufficient and thinks that we should release the information about the total reserves. And he thinks SGD will not be attacked, and bigger countries will fall first before Singapore if there are 3 consecutive ‘Black Swan’ events impacting global economies. Seriously?! What is TKL smoking ??? He also consistently speaks as though the President can make policy changes when it is clearly the Government’s role. I hope the electorate can see through this nonsense, I worry for the country if he is ever elected.

Objectifying refers to the act of treating someone as an object or a thing, often reducing them to their physical appearance or certain attributes, rather than recognizing their full humanity, feelings, and individuality. It's a dehumanizing behavior that can occur in various contexts, such as objectifying someone based on their gender, race, or other characteristics. This term is often used in discussions about issues like sexism, discrimination, and the importance of respecting others as complete and complex individuals.

What he is offering is the independent factor just because he doesn't belong to any establishment. If that is so why Mr Ong Teng Cheong was so well received by the people back then and exercised his authority independently? Isn't he once a PAP member and held a Deputy PM officer before he was elected as President. I don't see there is a correlation between establishment and independent thinking. Rather it all boils down to character and professionalism to carry out the duty dilgently. I will weigh more on competency in my consideration.
