His warm, enthusiasm, eloquence in English, Mandarin is refreshing.

One blogger captured LTK serving with Aljunied residence until 01.00 am (midnight).

In his own words, "I left at 1245 midnight Mr. LTK still have........

He (LTK) started on 25.May 8pm at void deck of blk 7xx Bedok Reservoir Rd, with plastic chair and make shift table. He sat there since 8pm until when I left he did not leave that seat. He only had some drinks supplied by supporters. No food. No rest. Did not even go to Loo!"

Way to go Mr LTK!!!

Hot Bilingual Video Debate & Talks on Post LKy Singapore - Arthero Lim vs UncleYap

Political discussion between Uncle Yap and Lim Tung Hee, candidate of AMK GRC on post Lee Kuan Yew Singapore.

Uncle Yap praises Lee Hsien Loong on getting rid of his father Lee Kuan Yew.

Chen Shao Mao is a question mark person to me.

He is a question mark.

First of all, he spent many years overseas.

Secondly, actually he is a Taiwanese national who immigrated to Singapore.

Thirdly, his wife is a foreigner (American citizen)

Fourth, he speaks with no Singorean accent whatsoever (English with American accent and Mandarin with mainland accent)

However, with all these, he strangely mention about immigration issue. Which to me is similar like he is talking about himself and how he should be deported.

Lol.

Strange things are happening. George Yeo got kicked out and Tin Pei Ling enters. And this newbie Chen Shao Mao enters.

Strange.

Also Lee Kuan Yew gone from cabinet is strange.

It is interesting to me that his language habits which are clearly foreign (has almost no trace of any Singaporean accent) is being labelled as "eloquent and refreshing"

If he is from establishment.....wooooo........totally 180 degree opposite.....

At least he can speak mandarin, unlike Lee Kuan Yew.

Veggie Bao SG

Anyways I support a clear and consice English and Mandarin, so no complain from me from the language aspect.

He spent 30 years overseas - 3 degrees (mostly scholarships) from top universities in the US and UK. Later worked in China, Beijing as an international lawyer.

In the clip, the part where he spoke to the residence, and if you hear the clips carefully (very faint), he also spoke in simple hokkien like 'kamsia di' etc.

I hate to say this and I don't wish to offend anyone or start a flame thread here.

Singaporeans have huge pride in themselves - our language, our dialects, our habits etc.

I say it is refreshing to hear Chen speaks because he didn't speak with thick American slang - he could, you know. He also didn't speak with China heavy Beijing accent - he also could, you know.

What I heard from him is that he tried to speak in proper English and Mandarin.

To me, proper English does not mean our Singaporean accent only or at least he didn't fake Snglish or fake, hokkien laced mandarin to impress us. When he didn't fake anything so as to impress, he came across as sincere - at least to me.

He is a polished and educated man and he needs not hide, appologize or fake it. This his strength and he let it shows - without arrogance.

Actually I reverse my opinion on Mr. Chen.

I like him because he is possibly the most well-spoken Mandarin speaker in the whole of Singapore political class elite.

I am fond of him.

I look forward to his Mandarin speeches in Parliament. I hope he makes some.

He is easily the most properly spoken Mandarin speaker in the whole of the Parliament, I am sure.

He will be a breath of fresh air, possibly his presence alone can have some impact on improving the local Mandarin language standards.

Ang Mong Seng from Nantah was also an eloquent Mandarin speaker.

Can Cheb match Ang Mong seng? Left to be seen

Stop portraying Chen as a celebrity pls! He should get down to serious consultation work like the PAP MPs instead of bowing and shaking hands as shown in the video.

Can he and does he get the same attention if he walks side-by-side with Emeritus Goh Chok Tong?

The last time Emeritus SM Goh toured Marine Parade, the crowds swarmed around him that it took him at least 30 minutes to move away.

Disman SG

at least he better than some bunch of lpcb

i don't know what to say
