Read in the papers that Tony Tan's experience in financial matters might be useful. Any opinions?
TKL also a director in a MNC company that worth few times more than SG treasury for 5 years, he also can qualify wor.
For financial literacy and experience, I'd rank:
1. Tony Tan (OCBC & GIC)
2. Tan Kin Lian (NTUC Income)
3. Tan Jee Say (AIB Hoare-Govett)
4. Tan Cheng Bock (no direct experience in financial sector at all)
That said, the two previous EPs both have no direct experience in financial sector at all. That's why OTC was successfully stonewalled when he queried and SRN didn't even bother or know what to query.
I wouldn't trust TJS whatever experience he has, not a man who jump in and out of SDP from GE to PE. TKL has a 30-year track record of loyalty with NTUC but he doesn't seem to understand president role and responsibility. I'd go for TT.

Tony Tan does seem to have more relevant and extensive financial experience. Just not sure if that will be useful as President is after all a ceremonial role. Unless he can act in an advisor role.
Tan Jee Say seems rather confrontational. Will it be a case of rocking the boat till it sinks?
Yeap, I've said in other thread, he sure will question every decisions PAP proposed, which sometimes slow the decisions. And I'm sure CSJ will involve somehow.....

So the slightly more neutral ones remaining are Tan Kin Lian and Tan Cheng Bok?
useful..............for hiding the truth................
tony tan not as smart as he looks
I don't object to people voting for TKL and TCB too if you don't trust TT to be independent enough even with his extensive financial experience and knowledge. Both TT and TCB have records of dissenting against PAP policies. I'll agree with you, TJS is a no-no. He'll oppose everything and even make good policies hard to pass through.
