The former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NTUC Income said he would contest based on the number of 'likes' on Facebook saying that he wanted to gauge public support as it was a big sacrifice in terms of time and effort
First, on Sunday afternoon, March 31, Mr Tan posted, “If you want me to contest in the general election, give a Like and Share. I need 300 Likes.”
However, by late morning on Monday, April 1, Mr Tan edited his post to say, “If you want me to contest in the general election, give a Like and Share. Let us make it to 1,000 Likes.”Lest anyone was thinking this may be an April Fool’s Day jest, Mr Tan put up a clarifying post.“Quite likely, yes. But I need other people to come forward and give their support. If I do not get enough support, I will not put in this sacrifice.
In another post he wrote, Some people are disappointed that I keep “moving the goal post” for standing in the general election. . I will need 100 people who promise to give their full and unconditional support, come rain or shine. I will then owe a duty to these people to stand for election.For Mr Tan, the number of likes that he gets on his post is indicative of the support people have not only for him but for the other opposition candidates.
