Who brought NTUC Income to task when it decided to "shortchange" policy holders?

Who has been rallying and standing up for us come rain or sun when we lost more than $500M through being mis-sold financial products. While the BEST PAID government in the world tried to "act blur" and "siam" its duty to safeguard our interests?

He is none other than Mr TAN KIN LIAN.
Have we not suffered enough from the monopoly of power by one family and one party? After half a century of "independence", we have become a nation of downtrodden and exploited third-class citizens in our own country with no rights, no voice, no representation and no social security. While members of the "Inner Circle" and foreigners are reaping awesome benefits. Is this what we are risking and sacrificing our lives for? Do you still call this a nation?
NO!!! We will say it LOUD and CLEAR! We will let the wicked and corrupt hear it! We will let those who are prepared to stand up for us hear it! We will let Mr Tan Kin Lian hear it!
Mr Tan, we support you to run for Presidency or for the General Elections wholeheartedly! Go for it! WE ARE FULLY BEHIND YOU!

Tan Kin Lian eyes elected presidency
This is the headline of an article in the Sunday Times.
The front page has the following message: "Im game to be elected president or member of parliament if people wants me" Tan Kin Lian now opens up on his political ambition.
My "political ambition" has been summarised in this posting in my blog on 2 November 2008:

It is also reflected in the article written by Nur Dianah Suhaimi. It reflects my views quite fairly. The headline is an exaggeration and gives a distorted angle.
My friend said that the article may backfire on me. My supporters may not be able to get 100,000 signatures. Why not ask for 50,000?
I told my friend, "It is not my interest or ambition to stand for election. If I do not get 100,000 signatures, I have the excuse to opt out - that this is a bad idea." I am willing to leave this to the voice of the people.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
