presidential election 2011


today is another historic day for our tiny red dot nation and all singaporeans because we get to vote for our next president. and coincidentally, the next president will definitely be a 'tan' from the 4 hopefuls who are (not in order of merit), dr tan cheng bock, mr tan jee say, dr tony tan keng yam and last but not least, mr tan kin lian.

without prejudice, may the best 'tan' win to be sworn in as the 7th president of the republic of singapore.

my comments:

during the hustings, i have noticed a recurring point raised by all the 4 presidential candidates stressing that they are 'independent'.

as a financial adviser, i can fully understand the importance of being independent as articulated by all of the presidential candidates. and with the passing of the financial advisers act in the early 2000s, i bacame known as an independent financial adviser but with the implementation of the representative notification framework effective november 26, 2010, everyone, be they insurance advisers, bank advisers or independent financial advisers are now collectively and individually known as financial advisers.

although my business card does not reflect my 'independent' status anymore, essentially nothing has changed and i still stand on my 'independent' practise and unbiased advice.

and this is something which remains unchanged, now and long into the future.
