I had already decided before this forum that I was not going to vote for TT. However, after watching it, I will go one step further. I want to 'campaign' against him.
TT is probably a good man and in the past had been a good politician. But, he is simply not the right man for the job of the elected president. He is incapable of being independent. He just can't stop thinking and acting like the PAP. In fact, he appeared rather arrogant during the entire forum. He spoke as if he was going to win the contest. Perhaps he assumed he was already the elected president. He demonstrated a lack of patience and interest in answering people's questions. He spoke with the same PAP-elitist attitude of "we are the best and we know what is the best for you". This is surely not what we want and need. Moreover, because of his past connections, we cannot expect him to be the second key of our reserves. I can't see him being capable of questioning GIC or Temesak at all. In fact, it looks like he is in this presidential race for the purpose of being in the position of protecting PAP's interest. In the context of GE 2011, we need and want someone who will lead our country to a greater political maturity. I have nothing personal against TT. But he is just not the right Tan to perform the duties of the elected president. I am not voting for him and hope others will think carefully about it too.
