The Real Truth about Tan Jee Say
I quote a letter comment posted by a Singaporean on various online forums.

Dear Fellow Singaporeans
In the interest of transparency and in the spirit of being the voice of conscience,
this to correct the false impression that is conveyed in the Sunday Times article about tjs.
Tjs has no moral righteousness, compass or anchor and blows where the winds of opportunity takes him. He quit as PPS when it became apparent that he would not become perm sec. Tjs is driven by greed and selfishness.
After quitting the government, he joined Morgan Grenfell, then Peregrine Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and finally AIB Govett.
When Morgan Grenfell came knocking, tjs jumped at the chance. He promised to bring in much monies from the Malaysian conglomerates which he came into contact with during his tenure at MTI. His results at Morgan Grenfell speak for themselves, tjs did not deliver the monies and his peers soon found that he was a light weight load of hot air.
Tjs had a contributory role in Bank Peregrine’s demise. He did not dispense proper advice that the investment into an Indonesian concern was not viable. Tjs, the person at the site did not do proper due diligence.
At AIB Govett, it was reported that his strength was in policy making. This firm collapsed whilst others survived, obviously tjs’s policies were wrong. This forebodes poorly on the potential for tjs to be EP as at every employment stop he has demonstrated poor judgement. Translate this into safeguarding our nation’s reserves and it will result in disastrous consequences.
Tjs’s next stops at Standard Chartered Bank and Hi Green is also empty of significant contributions. He was forced out of Standard Chartered by his Indian boss.
His claim to be ‘not a lavish man’ is not true. In tjs ‘high flying’ years, tjs openly boasted that his income tax contributions were higher than an average man’s annual income. Tjs aspired to the lifestyle of his successful PAP friends and his banking colleagues. Tjs had his fair share of thoughts about redeveloping his Frankel Avenue house into a mansion.
It is obvious that tjs squandered his wealth on ill conceived and dubious ventures in his empty years. If tjs had prudently invested his wealth, he would be fairly well off. This can be verified by any banker.
2006 till present, tjs was unemployable as by that time the banking industry had seen tjs for what he was, no substance and only hot air.
Let the people exam tjs’s empty years for themselves. And these were indeed empty as he was trying to chase his ‘China make money’ dream backed up by casual connections made when he accompanied government officials in China state visits.
There was the attempt at marketing Chinese breast enhancement drug treatments in Singapore.
His attempt to provide training of bank personnel also failed as tjs could not deliver what he promised.
There is also an erroneous reporting that Tjs’s wife was an investment banker. This is inaccurate. Pls verify which investment bank she was employed under. In fact, Mrs tjs abused her position when she was with their 4th child. NTUC Income would not grant her paid maternity leave so she took unpaid leave but traded on her information from the NTUC Income equity positions she managed to make money for herself. In what ever manner one looks at this, this is a conflict of interest.
Tjs’s selective use of reality makes him dangerous to Singapore.
Reporting tjs an independent candidate is also very wrong. He was brought up through the PAP system and for a time worked within the system when he was PPS to DPM GOH. In truth, tjs is a rogue PAP minion setting out his own agenda to revenge the wrong that he perceives the PAP has done to him under the disguise of public interest.
Tjs cannot claim to be a people’s man and have the Singaporeans’ interest at heart. For those who know tjs, tjs thinks highly of himself, is full of himself, highly opinionated, talks down to people. Tjs can no way be representative of Singapore’s President.
I feel that tjs does not have our nation’s interest at heart; tjs has an axe to grind with the PAP because he is disgruntled that his dreams of higher government office was not realized.
This is very dangerous and a threat to our country’s stability and because of this I feel strongly that when reporting on tjs the truth must be correctly reported.
Best regards,
The Real Truth"

Tan Jee Say escorted by SDP member
It turns out that Tan Jee Say is not shy in showing off his SDP support.
Tan Jee Say had been frequently sighted with SDP members after he declared his interest to run for President.
In his newly launched website, Tan Jee Say was even seen watching a soccer match with a member of the Young Democrats.
How Tan Jee Say wants to unite Singaporeans, without any past baggage from any political party, would be a huge question he has to answer. Or perhaps he has no answer to it.
So what does the above photo tells about Tan Jee Say?
That he wants to be different from Singaporeans or he is not supporting the Singapore team in the match against Taiwan.

Puzzled by Tan Jee Say's presidential promises
Here's a forum letter to The Straits Times. It shows how Tan Jee Say is acting as a proxy of the SDP in running for the Presidential race.
I AM curious about the reasons behind Mr Tan Jee Say's motivation to serve Singaporeans ('Another Tan enters the fray'; last Saturday).
The investment adviser has resigned from the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP). Yet he continues to promote his five-year $60 billion National Regeneration Plan, which he lobbied for as an SDP candidate at the hustings for the recent general election, in his presidential bid. Has he confused the role of Singapore's head of state with that of an opposition MP?
If he is elected president, Mr Tan is reported to have stated that he plans to turn the grounds of the Istana into a central park. As far as I know, no country in the world, including the United States, has done this for the official residence of its titular head.
Security is a key consideration. There is also the dignity of the office. Imagine a foreign dignitary being met by sweaty joggers on his way to an official meeting with our president and prime minister.
Singaporeans may want a president who is not merely a rubber stamp for government policies, but it is just as important that we do not elect someone who rolls out populist schemes to appeal to the masses.

'Burn minister' man quits SDP
A SINGAPORE Democratic Party (SDP) member who was investigated for inciting violence against a minister has quit the party, citing internal disagreements.
Mr Abdul Malik Mohammed Ghazali, 27, was arrested in August last year for his comment on a Facebook group page set up to complain about the Youth Olympic Games' organising committee.
In the comment, he said it was time to 'burn Vivian Balakrishnan and the PAP'.
A day after his arrest, he met SDP leaders and later joined the party. The project executive helped out in organising rallies and walkabouts.
Last Friday, the police said in response to media queries that they will not be taking any further action against him.
Contacted yesterday, Mr Malik said he quit the SDP because of internal disagreements on 'matters of principle'.
He said some members were unhappy that he spoke to the media without prior approval about the case against him and were thinking of drawing up new guidelines. He felt these would be too restrictive: 'These protocols go against party ideals of democracy. It's very heavy-handed.'
Mr Malik, who e-mailed his resignation to SDP chief Chee Soon Juan on Tuesday night, also disclosed yesterday that he has applied to join the Singapore Malay National Organisation, a component party of the Singapore Democratic Alliance.

Kenneth Jeyaratnam disagrees with SDP's route
Finally, an Opposition Leader has casted doubts on the publicity tactics taken by the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP).Reform Party Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam has this to say about the SDP:
"SDP has chosen another route whereby they campaign for equality and Freedoms directly. ( I hope I haven't misrepresented them -this is my understanding)...
"SDP has chosen another route whereby they campaign for equality and Freedoms directly. ( I hope I haven't misrepresented them -this is my understanding)...
Whatever CSJ is or isn't, and after all he's my political rival. But we can't stand by and be a country which allows a political leader to be imprisoned for an act that would be perfectly legal and even deemed necessary to the democratic process in most other countries. (Not that I am disparaging the decisions of our legal system here.)"
Kenneth Jeyaretnam is the son of the late Opposition Leader Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam (or affectionately called "JBJ").
Chee Soon Juan is now soliciting for funds to help save him from a jail-term for an offence he committed. He has so far raised S$6,000.00 from Singaporeans' hard-earned money. SDP is even holding a "Kampung Night" dinner to raise funds for him.
Chee's party members also sell his books in public to raise funds for him.
Show your disapproval to this party machinery and the selfishness of Chee Soon Juan. Vote "no" to SDP!

YD Member draws inspiration from autocratic Sukarno
One wonders if the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) even screens its young members or orientates them properly.Muhd Shamin, a member of the Young Democrat (YD) - the youth wing of the SDP - recently wrote an article on the SDP's party website, invoking the wisdom of former Indonesian President Sukarno:
"“100 orang hanya bermimpi, tetapi berikanlah aku 10 pemuda maka akan kuguncang dunia!” (100 people only dream of, but give me 10 young people, and I will shake the world!)"
Didn't he know that President Sukarno used guided democracy to impose autocratic rule on Indonesians?
I wonder if Muhd Shamin is trying to imply that a democratic system doesn't require winning support of the masses, but just the support of a few.
SDP has always been a small fledgling party and in GE2006, it was regarded as the least significant political party in Singapore. This comes as no surprise since SDP espouses liberal ideas that are influenced from their ties with foreign organisations.
In SDP's Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan's own words "I occasionally receive foreign funding".
A Muslim that drinks?
Breaking the law with camera phone?
Vote wisely.
Say no to nonsensical politics. Say no to SDP.
