Like Father, Like Daughter | Kin Lian & Su Ling

Tan Kin Lian's daughter, Tan Su ling, spoke at her father's rally last night.

Like father, like daughter. Sincere and Passionate.

One cannot help but to emotionally connect with what she is saying. I teared while listening to her.

 Here is an excerpt of her speech:

"During the Lehman Brother crisis, he single-handedly stood up to help defend the rights of ordinary citizens who lost their money.


No one stood up to help them.


My father had many friends when he was CEO of NTUC Income. Do you think he had a lot of friends when he stood up for the common people?


NO! He had no friends at that point. He was the lone voice in Hong Lim Park.


He spent several days and nights organising petitions to the relevant authorities, urging them to look into the mis-sellings. In the process, he stepped on many people's toes. 


Many of them his own friends, and even relatives.Some even questioned his motives for getting involved, but he refused to bow down to pressure and criticism because he felt that was the right thing to do."


We are not choosing an idol as our President, who is bigger, smoother, cooler, richer, better than us. Please shed that outdated 'fan - idol' mentality when electing leaders.

We are choosing someone who can empathise with us, the ordinary Singaporeans, and would do something about it. The President represents the People.

Tan Kin Lian is the only candidate who has been consistent in slogan and action, i.e. 'Voice of the People', way before he embarked on the Presidential Elections campaign.
