Support for Tan Kin Lian for Presidential Election

Honeybunz SG

I will support TKL. cuz he knows me. so maybe he bcome pres, will ti ba wo.

but then... he not running election la.

sir_peanuts SG

I support Tan Kin Lian running. I like him because he is honest and humble.

He must put up an election deposit that may be around $20,000. If he doesn't get at least 12.5% of the votes, he will lose it.

Sure to get back, but now he is a simple man living quietly and thriftily on his savings. I'm sure he won't risk it.

saw him taking circle line MRT before. carrying a backpack. simple man.

Rock^Star SG

it's kind of funny ya.....he's a millionaire and he takes the mrt.

Well said, but when did I ever mention of joining politics?

Any politics in any job nature will require oneself to be cunning & at times dirty which includes working in your pub as well.

CMI? Cannot Make It. I m kind of surprise u dun know but come to think of it, it does makes sense u dun know what it stand for....

Cheers....

Hi,

As a gal, i can hardly stand, some told me CMI is some Cimos isotopes in your 3rd grade chromosome 21 pair, CMI 21, so i thot you are some genetic guy, well, too bad, just a layman term.

Thanks

He no money lah. Really no money. He lives in upper YCK, drives a japanese car when not taking mrt.

All the better for President that he did not benefit from NTUC.

Rock^Star SG

Bro, he was not chairman of NTUC (Lee Boon Yang).

He was CEO of NTUC Income (a business unit) only selling life, accident, travel, motor insurance. Local company with no overseas business, paying on the low end of the CEO scale. Pay about $20-30K, and for so many years NTUC Income was small. You think SME pay is great?

Part of the reason he's so unhappy, taking on the rich etc. If he was rich, he would be living large and enjoying life.

When he gets $4m per year, he won't be simple anymore.

When he is driven in government limo, flies SQ first class, he can't be simple.

When his family travel with him on his business tour on government account, he is not simple.

Alize,

$17,000,000,000 asset company is a SME huh.

A CEO of a $17 billion asset company' s pay is only $20 - 30K per month huh

A good insurance agent will have already earning more than $20K - $30K per month.

You must be kidding or ill-informed.

He was CEO for 30 years, NTUC Income wasn't worth $17 billion since day 1.

The thing is insurance industry is a poor cousin to other finance lines. Agents earn on commission year on year, sure alot of them earn more than salaried execs in insurance.

Furthermore, profit margin for NTUC's business (selling house, travel, motor, accident insurance) is low compared to commercial insurance. How much does one customer spend, and how much does the agent take compared to the company?

Whether or not he will be President, I am saying his CEO's pay was a laughing stock among insurance ppl.

dude....are you sure? I hope you got your facts right leh......AIA CEO of Singapore branch alone already $1-2m a year and NTUC, one of their close competitors; the CEO's pay is $20-30k a month?

And this TKL also sits on other boards of governance, so it's not his only source of income.

Alize,

Please check your facts before you make the claim.

NTUC Income does not only sell general insurance (selling house, travel, motor,

accident insurance)

NTUC Income sells commercial insurance to companies, general insurance, health

insurance, life and annuity insurance, savings and investment policies and provide

financial plannings.

Please see the url link http://www.income.com.sg/index.asp

Mr Tan has managed to grow a $40 million asset NTUC in 1977 to a $17 billion asset NTUC when he retired from NTUC. The 2009 asset value of NTUC Income is $23.1 billions.

Will NTUC Income pay him a miserable (assuming last drawn salary) monthly income of $20k to $30k given that he grew the assets of NTUC Income by ($17 billions / $40 millions ) = 425 times ?

Wow I stand corrected. My whole company has ever served an NTUC client and we always laugh at TKL. Thanks.
