No more PAP or familee president.

NKS - sponsor HC
TKL - People’s President.
People, I think there is a huge misinformation about TKL being a PAP guy.
No, my friend TKL was never in politics. He was not a scholar but among the smartest in RI. He left RI after O level to work to support his family after his dad lost his job.
He was basically a civil servant working his way up as NTUC CEO. What is impressive about him is that he is able to jump start NTUC from a small co-op to what it is today.
He faced many challenges when he was CEO in NTUC. He wanted to benefit the workers by making NTUC policies the cheapest in the market by not paying agent well and not giving managenent huge pay. The profits he channeled into the policies giving holders generous bonuses.
He was very well liked by the agents because he was hardworking, humble and caring to them. He encouraged the agents to give to charities.
How do I know? My sister is one of his agents and I bought many policies through her. My insurance policies was the best investments I ever owned.
Sadly, he was asked to retire at 49 because the gov took over and make NTUC Co op a profit venture benefiting shareholders, management and directors. He is just a victim as us when he was asked to retire at 49.
Now NTUC insurance and Fairprice products are more expensive than their competitors. It is Shameless they no longer cater to workers though it still retain the co operative name.
TKL said through his presidency to help influence the gov to reduce unnecessary spending and give more benefits to the citizens. Not sure how he is going to do it but I don't doubt his sincerity. His heart is in the right place.
Please do reconsider giving him your votes instead of spoiling them.
