Andrew Kuan might be someone who has some problems with his jobs
and is now trying to get a better of himself in life by running for
presidency which in his own perception is a way to vindicate
himself, he is still a human being.
As human being, he should be allowed to contest an election whether
for presidency or MP. A hawker, an unemployed or a housewife can
similarly run for office. People may reject him or her at the
ballot but please do not follow the example of establishment to run
down our dying breed of political participants. People are mature
like what Nathan is now saying after 40 years of independence. If
he is sincere in this remark, then he should advise the
establishment to let people judge Kuan with their own uninfluenced
sharp eyes and keen perception.
People will know and should be left alone without all the defaming
suit or compulsion to judge any candidates for themselves without
hitting below the belts which is just as bad as any poor job
performance of Mr. Kuan. It is time for people to understand what
they should do in any election and not be pressurised by any
character assassinations or press sensationalism aimed at running
down our dying breed of political participants.
