Re: The Tripartite Bull

The pool at the Istana were not paid by money from a workers' cooperative. You hope you can tell the difference between a workers' cooperative and state budget. Unions are typically for workers. Maybe NTUC have got unions for CEOS and Property developers.

I was told, Istana also has swimming pool...

That's right, Capt GMS. LKY uses the pool pretty often. He jogs in the Istana too. I once attended a function inside the Istana and took cover to smoke. An officer from SecCom politey asked me to take further cover coz LKY was jogging and would jog past where I was smoking.

Lucky you take cover further, for if he passes you, you may be machine gunned.

tkl said in his blog that the pool is on rooftop 7th floor.

I believe the pool access is from 6th floor, with 1 flight of stairs to the roof. Buildings in those days had their shaft engines on the top most level or the roof level(7th floor), hence the last stop for the lifts would be 1 floor down(the 6thfloor). I think that anyone who wants to swim must go to 6th floor and walk up the stairs, so that no one could sneak onto the roof without being noticed. You could say its for "security" reasons.

Tan Kin Lian will not pull out of Presidential Election

04:46 AM Jul 01, 2011

SINGAPORE -

Former NTUC Income CEO Tan Kin Lian declared yesterday that he has "decided to proceed" with a three-cornered contest for the coming Presidential Election, five days after he had reportedly said he was open to discussion with fellow presidential hopeful Tan Cheng Bock about the possibility of one of them stepping aside.

Mr Tan Kin Lian wrote on his blog: "If I get the certificate of eligibility, I will contest the Presidential Election."

He added that he has begun sending out his campaign message by e-mail to his supporters and he has asked them to forward the message to their "friends, colleagues, neighbours and acquaintances".

Mr Tan wrote on his blog that he will pay for the election deposit "on my own". He has also collected "sufficient pledges to cover the basic expenses (but on a modest budget)" for his campaign. "If there are more donations, I can increase the outreach activities after the campaign starts," he said.

In his campaign message, which was also sent to the media, Mr Tan reiterated that he came from "a humble family background".

Said Mr Tan: "I understand the struggle of many people who find it difficult to earn enough to meet the cost of living, have to travel in crowded public transport daily and have to face the competition for jobs. I am close to the ordinary people in Singapore and can be your voice to carry your views to the Government."

Mr Tan pointed out that he has "never been a Member of Parliament or Minister in the PAP Government". Said Mr Tan: "As President, I will be able to think and act independently of the Government and take a different perspective in looking after the interest of the people of Singapore. I will work in cooperation with the Government to find solutions that are best for the people."

Apart from Mr Tan Kin Lian and former Ayer Rajah MP Tan Cheng Bock, former Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan has also declared his intention to stand in the election, which is due by Aug 31.

Earlier, Dr Tan Cheng Bock had reportedly said that he would not abandon his bid for presidency. With Mr Tan Kin Lian's declaration, the country looks set to witness its most intense Presidential Election to date - should all three presidential hopefuls be deemed eligible.

He can't swim so no pool. But he has to wash hands. So, golden taps.

You are comparing a NTUC Trade Union House with Istana?! :*:

Am afraid you are losing it... Am feeling sad for you.

You really think TKL stands a chance in this EP? So much about your self claimed 90% accuracy... Project TKL will pull down your stats.

I am not so sure about such comparisons, Scroobal. The pool at Income may be open to staff but apparently, the pool at Istana, paid by taxpayers' money, is only for few people (or even one person?).

Unless you are saying, the pool at Income is only for TKL alone then I really have nothing to say.

TKL has clarified, he hardly use the pool at Income; about a total of 20 times in his whole 30 years at Income.

It is a good comparison actually. Both used public money to build and maintain the pools; ie. Income - workers? Not so sure but I bet it is from Income's own earnings. Istana - Taxpayers' money. People like you and me, cannot use the pool at Istana, isn't it?

Tan Kin Lian hits back at netizen's accusations

Tweet Presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian has threatened legal action against a netizen who had accused him of "inappropriate behaviour" while he was the CEO of NTUC Income.

According to Mr Tan, the netizen - who he identified as the boyfriend of an NTUC Income employee during his tenure - had posted "malicious statements" about him on several websites, reported The New Paper.

Among other things, he accused Mr Tan of letting staff who share his views - particularly if they were young, pretty, and female - get promoted more quickly. Mr Tan rebutted this on his blog and to The New Paper, saying that promotions, transfers, and staff termination were not done by him. Rather, it is the cooperative's human resources department who handles these matters.

The netizen also said he used the swimming pool of the NTUC Income Centre every morning. According to the netizen, the pool is located on the sixth level of the building, the same level as Mr Tan's office.

Mr Tan said that the swimming pool is actually on the seventh level, while his office on the sixth. He also said that he might have used the pool a total of 20 times during his 20 years in office.

Re: The Tripartite Bull

You got to be silly to argue along these lines. The issue is nothing to do with him using the pool. Is is appropriate to build the pool based on the fact it is a workers cooperative and the workers are not the ones using it. The pool at the Istana is part of the furniture. When TKL becomes president, he can use it just as all Presidents can and have used it.

I am not so sure about such comparisons, Scroobal. The pool at Income may be open to staff but apparently, the pool at Istana, paid by taxpayers' money, is only for few people (or even one person?).

Unless you are saying, the pool at Income is only for TKL alone then I really have nothing to say.
