He likes to joke, but he's an absolute joke himself. So let's help him donate that $48K and more to the gahmen!

Got 300000 people voted for him

[@user-wm6eu8si9d]

He block people who make negative comments about his FB posts, of course what are left are "fun, light and enjoyable"

[@DrChanIMH]

How he know only small number offended. Half the population is women. Keep quiet means not offended? Wow

[@darthvader4209]

TKL lives in his own make believe world. This is a common trait of egomaniacs

[@miklee4834]

His past postings are coming back to haunt him now.

[@eightfoldsg]

His body language and response says it all

[@noelloh561]

Hes delusional.

[@michaellim8601]

You are right.

Look at his eyes when he nods his head many times and opens his eyes very wide. He does this a lot.

Admire beautiful girl wrong meh

[@darthvader4209]

Nothing wrong with admiring beautiful girls (handsome guys) or things .... most decent humans/males just don't objectify it or express it like he does

[@chiakc5066]

George Goh has better moral standards than Tan KL

[@jlo7204]

Goh the zeelo (zero) man . Am lost . Cannot.good that Ed kick him out. Tan just a very desireful man..he is flying kites in his mind ..quite a man stuff ha ha

Indeed, they are either pervert or pedophile. Halimah was useless but at least she's not gross...

[@UltraVioletMilk]

You mean Tharman and NKS?

[@micahiah2]

Be careful with your words. you represent Singapore. You are not comedian. Sorry but i dont think you are suitable to be the president of Singapore. Actions speaks louder than words. You can say all the nice things, but your life speaks volume about your character.

[@joechia8435]

Pretty woman, walking down the street ❤

[@togi1010]

are the comments here supporting him actually supporters or trolls? we live in a post-irony age that it's impossible to actually identify ironic comments vs actual comments 😂

[@Aivern]

Lol how are they malicious when they are just reposting, in full, your own content? And the only reason why you think it's a minority is because you block anyone who calls you out on your creepiness. Dude just built his own echo chamber and gave himself a high approval rating.

[@michaellim8601]

😂😂

[@michaellim8601]

Before filing his nomination on Tuesday, Mr Tan released a statement claiming that he was the target of a "smear campaign" over the posts. However, checks by CNA on Wednesday showed that the statement has been removed both from Mr Tan's website and Facebook page. A post on the social media platform from Tuesday morning where Mr Tan said he "totally" rejects AWARE's claims that he "objectified" women has also been taken down.

[@michaellim8601]

Exactly.

[@michaellim8601]

They are not harmless. They are offensive, intrusive, sexist and inappropriate.

[@Buttercookies0]

Can easily fall into 'beauty traps' set by other countries. MPI, right from the beginning, I already feel that he has got that lecherous look.

[@janeminnie5683]

You want to represent country people then of coz cannot anyhow post as good example to public. You anyhow post then other country or own public may think you represent own people on this kind of doing. Alamak.

He post only, did he actually piak? But we know that TCJ did.

@@Buttercookies0 but he said majority find it light

[@chiakc5066]

He coment that he will influence the Government, he is asking more ministers to look at pretty girls, getting more to lower their standards, and resigned

[@sgfuture7114]

Look like he is just a attention seeker.. He's seem to be very proud about what he posted... 😅😅😅

[@SuccessforLifester]

It is okay. Most uncles are like that. Others are just pretending to be righteous. Even candidate Ng is going to marry a young pretty girl

[@darthvader4209]

Dude, marrying a young pretty girl is way different from objectifying women! Seriously, your morals are ......

The discredit campaign is gaining full gear against TKL. The Government already screened him to be man of integrity, experienced and fit for the post of President, who are we to judge. You dont trust the Commision?

Most singaporeans base on Looks. Superficial. They may be shocked that TKL graduated from Raffles. He is like a good hearted businessman who does not focus on marketing

[@LonganLee]

@@chinchowpowpook you want theory? Go for shiny

[@joy1ess]

I think you made a very good point, about everyone here focusing on his looks. if we're all brutally honest, that is true. but think of elections like a long drawn out job interview.. job interviews also require candidates to look the part. this is also no different

[@joekerr8334]

He from insurance industry , so can expect this type of chit chat about pretty girls. . Ha ha ho ho . It is just his opinion , like his upfrontness , i.e. dare to take responsibility of his actions. Did not deny , i.e. not arrogant man

Don’t worry Mr Tan, we support you! Making a mountain out of a molehill. Something is not right in a society when simple words like saying pretty girls can draw negative responses.. 🤦🏼

[@zrw2820]

What's wrong? It may be silly or bad humour, but what exactly is wrong? If a woman posts that she saw some handsome guys somewhere, is there anything wrong? Why is state media directing firepower towards one single candidate? Under whose order and command? Such good dogs, well-trained!
