Tan Chuan-Jin all ready for online campaigning
Tan Chuan-Jin seems to be the most internet savvy politician in Singapore, taking the title from Baey Yam Keng. Barely 1 hour after PM Lee’s address, he has already posted on Facebook thanking his residents and supporters for 9 years in public office.
Here is his post in full:
“Thank you for your friendship and support these past 9 years. It’s been a precious privilege and honour to serve in public office.
To my residents in Kembangan-Chai Chee and Marine Parade GRC, I humbly ask for your continued support for me and my Marine Parade GRC team.
To my fellow Singaporeans, I humbly ask for your support for the People’s Action Party so that we can look after all Our Lives, Our Jobs and Our Future in the coming years. ????
Will continue to pray for wisdom, courage, integrity and love as I carry out my responsibilities, as I have endeavored to in the past 9 years.”
