[Sg] - Christian website features Tan Chuan Jin in "What it means to be a leader of Singapore as a PAP minister"
- Thread starter UltimaOnline

“Mr Tan urged leaders to aim for authenticity, to be the same person whether you’re facing cameras or with those under your care.
“I realise it’s far easier to be yourself, otherwise you keep putting up a front and start losing track of who you are. People are seeking authenticity. This has a huge bearing on engendering trust,” he said.”
This didn’t age too well. Lol…did he even snigger or grin as he sprout out such bullshit? U reckon?

He was true to his words because he uttered " fkin populist " even in a position of supposed neutrality as House Speaker. What a man of principle!
True to himself. Banging away despite being told not to do since February by the Prime Minister!
We never get to see him praising open mangoes.
Perhaps this speaker job was boring for him ... he needs to dig trenches and hole himself inside... now he is free from this boring speaker job... go back to his favourite pass time dig more trenches and holes...
This christian website took down their TCJ article, then reposted it with a note from the editor
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR (17 JULY, 2023):
Dear reader,
We apologise that the articles with Mr Tan Chuan-Jin were temporarily offline while we took in the news developments and contemplated how best to approach them.
These articles were published before any allegations came to light, and so we trust these articles will now be read in the appropriate context.
As faith-based websites, we do our best to highlight examples of people living out their faith. While these are often everyday, everyman examples, in some instances, the newsmakers are high-profile figures, including politicians.
But while we all aspire to be blameless (Daniel 6:3-5, 1 Peter 2:12), the sad reality is that we are all aware of the fallenness of all man, and the reality that no one is exempt from temptation and sin.
We believe that while missteps may be made, lessons can be learnt. We believe that where repentance is shown, grace and forgiveness can follow. We strongly believe that our heart should never be to tear people down, always to build people up (Ephesians 4:29).
We believe that those of us looking on as believers should adopt a restorative posture. Do join us in praying for the people involved, and for this nation. May love guide our hearts and righteousness be our hallmark.
Grace be with you,
Edric Sng
If you’ve seen his posts on social media, then you’ll know that few in the political realm are as open about faith as Speaker of Parliament* Tan Chuan-Jin.
In an Instagram live broadcast organised by impossible413, the former Brigadier-General discussed at length on topics like community spirit and leadership.
But at various points in the conversation, Tan also spoke plainly on what it’s like to be a Christian leader in the public sphere.

Sharing a similar point he had made on leadership, Tan reaffirmed that we should aim for consistency in both our public and private selves.
“It’s far easier to be yourself,” he said, emphasising the need for authenticity. “Otherwise, you keep putting up a front and start losing track about who you are and what you are.”
Even though he doesn’t use his position to proselytise, Tan shared that he sometimes receives comments about how he should not be quoting from the Bible on his Facebook page simply because he is a Speaker or Minister.
“There will always be naysayers. That’s something that you have to deal with and accept,” he said, revealing that he runs his own social media accounts.

Explaining that what we put up on our pages are a “very public testimony”, he said that it becomes stumbling when one quotes the Bible on one hand and “cast stones” in the other, in ways that do not glorify God.
“Often times, we are the poorest witnesses for Christ,” he observed.
But Tan also clarified that simply sharing Christian verses online does not make him a “good Christian” by any means. Instead, it is an aspect of his life that he feels convicted not to hide from the public eye.

At the end of the day, Tan shared that he is a Christian who has his shortcomings, with much to learn and do in the pursuit of God’s heart.
Beginning the session by acknowledging that he felt “exceedingly inadequate” especially at being put up as a leader on a Christian platform, Tan rounded up his sharing by admitting that he does fall short even as he tries to live in a way that is pleasing to God.
He also encouraged others to stand up for what they believe in, imperfect as they may be. What that means for Tan is being able to acknowledge his inadequacies and still be comfortable in his own skin.
“I still have my own struggles as a Christian and as an individual,” he said. “But notwithstanding that, in my public role, I do feel there’s a responsibility there to do what I can.”
*At time of writing, Parliament had not been dissolved. Tan Chuan-Jin has also shared his reflections on other topics during impossible413’s Instagram live conversation on May 30, 2020.

OF PIETY AND POLITICS
“I’m not shy about sharing my faith,” he said, believing that one could be a follower of Christ and serve in public office concurrently.Sharing a similar point he had made on leadership, Tan reaffirmed that we should aim for consistency in both our public and private selves.

However, Tan also offered a word of caution, urging Christians to be careful in how they conducted themselves online.Explaining that what we put up on our pages are a “very public testimony”, he said that it becomes stumbling when one quotes the Bible on one hand and “cast stones” in the other, in ways that do not glorify God.

Not everyone is lonely like u.
Just another hellbound, apostate church. Blind leading the blind.

Tan Chuan Jin is one bold motherfucker eh. He rebelled against God as well as the Prime Minister of Singapore.
He's a maverick.
Going to church is like going to a weekly fan club or a social club. They also donate money to the church, I heard it's tax deductible.
And that's why he is condemned to speaker. All the god nonsense. But can fuck side pussy
