The guy is shrewd, classy with a great sense of PR: see below.
Ada standard as a natural aristocrat and as a president.
With him as an elected president, the PAP administration will have to take account of his views, no matter what the legal position is on the powers of the president. He’ll signal his unhappiness or displeasure even when he has to follow the advice of the cabinet.
Well those who voted for Tan Jee Say and Tan Kin Lian, I hope you are repenting for doing the PAP’s dirty work for them. Each of you didn’t even get yr thirty pieces of silver.
And Tan Jee Say and Tan Kin Lian were the rewards of preventing him from becoming president worth it?

Message to my friends and supporters
Many Singaporeans including Netizens, have expressed their concern that the Constitutional Commission’s report has excluded me from the 2017 Presidential Election.
I have been kept busy assuring them that the Constitutional Commission Report will be tabled in Parliament in the form of a White Paper on 15th Sept.
Parliament will debate it, make amendments, support it, or even reject it.
We should not jump into conclusion that the whole exercise was to prevent me from running.
After all, the people in charge are men of virtue and integrity and would not resort to doing this.
Let us wait for the coming debate before jumping into conclusion.
