We need a president who is charismatic, speak well and can think on his feet when he meets other global leaders. He must represent Singapore on the global level. I can't think of anyone more suitable than this chap.
Maybe I was living under a rock, but I nv knew that he made such important changes in our education system. And he even opened North light & pathlight. These are huge policy changes that made a real positive impact on the daily lives of Singaporeans. Kudos to u, Mr Tharman
Yes. Its true! When I was a kid (I'm not that old lol) it's like, PSLE is like better grades, better/more schools to choose from lo. Bad means less schools to choose lo. REALLY bad means ... dunno, retake PSLE? U like sports/music ... choose as your CCA lor. Get into sch team, I guess? Strangely (or incidentally), I remember phases of my sch life by the education minister HAHA. Like, Pri sch - Teo Chee Hean Secondary sch - Tharman JC - Ng Eng Hen NIE/teaching - Heng Swee Keat So anyway, along came Mr Tharman in 2003/4, and ... [off the top of my head, I can't remember in order hahah + mebbe more I can't recall] >> DSA >> Pathlight >> Northlight >> Sports School >> SOTA [this was so popular I think some of the pioneer batches backtracked a year to apply, cus they only initially took lower sec] ^ I didn't personally benefit/apply for any of this but I remember being quite wowed. Before these, life in sch was really good grades lor. The better your grades the more power to you ... that's all 😂 He's also Thar-man who decided no CCA on Saturdays (for good or for bad, I actually didn't mind CCA on Saturday, more chill HAHAHA). I think it was also him that decided to do away with big end-of-term exams, and do bite-sized assessment instead? That one, great in theory but damn stressful HAHA. I remember like suddenly Sec 2 every week got damn test, sometimes two. simisai 😂 I sound like such a biased fangirl (inclined to support him, though for other reasons) but it's sometimes difficult to see the contributions of a minister unless it affects personally you (same for NS/housing/road tax, what have you), just happens that everyone experiences going to sch - and people of my time (😂) have seen the impact of Mr Tharman's time in the Education ministry, like - the contrast between the then and now. (-:
@@eudorac91I am way after your time, but I guess the bite-sized tests are not for me. Big end of year exams means I only need to study once, bite-sized I got to study every week. But then and again, that is the purpose that studying should not be last minute.
His extensive knowledge of the reserves means no one in the govt and i mean NO ONE, can bullshit him or smoke him if the party or any party needs to dig in to the reserves.
i think what makes tharman different is his strong dedication and desire to supporting and working on ground initiatives to actually improve singaporeans’ lives. i’ve heard many accounts of taman jurong residents and just how tharman has helped them, and i can see why taman jurong is so supportive of him. i guess the biggest and perhaps the only somewhat valid argument his opponents have against him is his past affliation with PAP. But personally I feel that Tharman has a mind of his own and I can feel his conviction and desire to “add substance” to the role of president instead of just being a “yes man” for ceremonial purposes. I’m more willing to pick someone who has a long history of actually doing things to help and impact singaporeans’ lives, and can be the best representation of our country, strengthen our international standings, instead of choosing the ones that are supposedly independent candidates just for that sake.
Right? This is my fave and its not just the person. It's like even within his speeches across diff platforms, *THIS* is the one where he really sells his track record, like shows past experience and proven KPI /successful projects and how these will carry into the new position. Great questions/follow up, this was absolutely the best "job interview" haha. As the "interviewer" selecting my "candidate", I'm def sold 🔥
I think my very least criteria is for our president to be able to stand on the world stage, someone we can feel proud of that represents the best of Singapore.
Tharman A man well respected globally. A man with great knowledge and wisdom. A man that has a heart for the people with many amazing stories of his care and help A man. My President 🙏🏻
tharman brought up a good point, cause in this day and age it’s more important than ever for singapore to strengthen our international standings and relations, and he is definitely one of the best people we can find to do that. apart from being an good speaker he’s also really sincere and affable so i could really listen to him talk on and on without getting bored or smth.
Mr Tharman is the clear choice. He's well spoken, a deep thinker and a true gentleman with a calm disposition. Can't ask for a better person to be our next president!
People that says he is too good for the role…. Come on guys. Is like promoting the weakest member on the team and not supporting the star member because he/she can plays a better role in their current position. That is so demoralising. If you are in this situation, you still want to work hard? With a proven track record mr Tharman has, it already proves to everyone how qualified he is. On the international stage, we will be so damm proud that such a solid person is representing our country. It’s a vote, please vote considering how it will affect our image and relationship with other countries.
Intelligent, forward thinking, independent mind, strong international presence, experience working with politics/polices. I would hope to hear more of what he contributed. He deserve all the credits being out now as an individual. Even a glimpse of what he highlighted was awesome and to be proud of. This president election should be based on individual presence on their strengths and how they can contribute as a individual. Most of us work for a employer. Most of us just happen to enter where we are.it's not really a matter of choice or smth that could be changed. Should not be the reason as a roadblocker/distractor.
Wa I think this video saved Tharman’s performance at the presidential forum leh. Gave him a chance to elaborate on how exactly he contributed to SG with more examples and less fluff. And also his stand on being “party” affiliated, by explaining how it’s a positive thing and how he doesn’t play party politics etc and explaining the process of policy making. I daresay it might be the best episode out of all TDK presidential series. 🤭
THANK YOU TDK this solidified my vote - questions were fab, loved the discussion, really allowed the candidate to showcase his portfolio and KPI. If the people of Singapore were the employers/interviewers, I was definitely sold by this podcast episode ahaha 🎉
Out of all 3 interviews, 1. Tharman, 2. NKS. Forget about the 3rd one. This guy is gonna make Singaporeans proud on an international stage. And I'm not necessarily a PAP voter, its whats best for the country.
I'd say it could be due to the current syllabus which may already be heavy in terms of content. Next is, financial literacy may be difficult for children to appreciate since they don't get involved in the world of income, expenses and taxes etc, so it's best developing their broad based academic knowledge at a young age rather than financial literacy. When young I think they just need to know the very basics, the basics of which are alright if taught similarly to how sex education is taught.
because if financial literacy were taught in schools, no one will be working past age of 40 to keep singapore companies and MNCs afloat here, as well as no one will be available to make the rich richer
@@sian1of2@johnlim1678 Haha Tharman's 5 things just in education (maybe more I can't recall) Northlight Pathlight SOTA Sports School DSA ... all in one portfolio of 5-6 years!
Tharman gets my vote. He is humble, knowledgeable, eloquent, respectful and most importantly he is able to represent Singapore at international level given his vast amount of experience he gathered while he was a minister.
This episode is really, really a candid to the psyche of Mr. Tharman and his approaches to Presidential vocation. It definitely sways my choice in voting for him.
I am not a PAP or a anti PAP😅 people here. Time to time I do and dont agree with govt policy or decision they made. Tbh after watching all episodes of interviewing candidates my vote is to tharman. Well done sir ! NKS did impressed me with some part but tharman really did win my heart more. For TKL is totally out of my choice sorry to say that :)

Definitely Presidential material despite what he is and where he used be from. Hope SGaporean sees on polling day. External commentors know how good he is.
Thank you for this episode exuding positive vibes by a logical, calm and collected gentleman. Mr T is totally deserving as he fits the presidential role to a T (pun intended). Five stars and the bonus crescent for his past track record and to all his “hidden talents”.
Tharman has good track record and is intellectual. Had he not been with the PAP, no one would make noise. The main issue is partisanship. ever since NKS keep on saying non-partisan, that word got stuck in my mind. Guess he still will win the contest this time. 6 years to serve, he would be 72 by then. Alot of things can and will happen within that timeframe internationally. Anything happen internationally affects things domestically. So a president with exceptional international standing is needed.
kind of ironic because his time with PAP is both considered a strength of his but also the biggest (and perhaps the only valid and strong) argument his opponents have against him. regardless, he’s still the most qualified man and in fact one of the best we can find to represent our country.
Keep it up daily ketchup! Thoroughly enjoyed your three episodes of the presidential candidates. It gave insights into the ‘faces’ of these candidates whom we dont see from regular mainstream media. They were less en guard and presented their relaxed and perhaps usual self. Kudos to your channel!
21:00, great strategy as not all students are strong in language especially mother tongue language. Some kid are brilliant in math and science but barely can pass in mother tongue language and vice versa. After all, just teach children that are good in certain subject otherwise, it’s pity to force children to excel in subject they are weak.
I really want to vote non PAP candidate give them a chance, BUT my mind asking me this very importance question. Did they really care for the country and the people if so WHY I have not heard of them contribute any thing to the society or helping the people in need for all this years. 😮😮😮😮 When come to election for PRESIDENT . They suddenly appear from nowhere ,😢😢😢 where they have been all these years 😭😭😭.
Just from this series, you can hear who has the most passion for helping & uniting Singaporeans. I truly don't hear this passion in the other 2 candidates.
If Mr Tharman were to play an RPG, he would be by default a Support Role as he has purported; probably would win MVP too. On a more serious note, glad that he pointed out on the knowledge & experience relevance in regards to reserves management rather than investment
Saluate to you Mr Tharman! I cannot understand when people said they don’t trust PAP to check PAP… Why do people just label and generalised? TKL’s supporters said that he is direct and straightforward. Who has a strong mind who has a weak mind? Who has a pretentious way of saying I withdraw my comment but actually I don’t believe vs someone who does what he says and shown us the results of his strong ability to make positive influence and delivered real results!
he is clearly the brain wat more... is he wasting his time in singapore? am sure IMF will invite him , president is the least we cld do for him, keep his brain with us ,
Singapore need a President to strengthen our international standings and relations with the whole world and Tharman has the international standard and a welcome face to all world leaders...so Friday my vote goes to him.... lucky he appear on The Daily Ketchup Podcast that cement my opinion and choice ..... sorry NKS
I'm only at 21mins out of 30+ and I'm sold ALREADY. But also yes, I was a teenager in the time of him in Education Ministry and watched all these changes unfold ... 🎉
Thank you for bringing all the candidates on! Best series and really allowed every candidate to speak their mind fully. Very well crafted and executed, good job Daily Ketchup Podcast team! 🎉
Tharman 🍍is the only people President amongst the three, 20 years on the ground helping, listening to Singaporean residents, especially less privileged. NKS and TKL did none of that, only last minute then pretend to be on the ground😂 For our and our kids future👉🍍🍍🍍🗳✍️
He can fit either for PM or President role although his high caliber experiences better fit to be the Prime Minister. 13:19 President is not ceremonial role but puppet. Hope with him serve as the new President, he change the President role, not merely as puppet but playing active role with concrete actions for welfare of citizens and not for benefit of ruling party.
Having a deep and thorough knowledge on the reserves itself is a double-edged sword. Mdm Halimah approved billions for the Covid assurance package and she did not have knowledge in the reserves before that. She did perfectly well as there is the Council of Presidential Advisers to advise her. Who is to give a reserves expert any advice? 😅
Since “K” and “L” is next to each other on the keyboard, it is quite common to mistype my name to Leong. I am not offended by this. Typo. Human error. Finger too fat. There was once when my CCC Chair forwarded an email to Kim Leong and me (as Kok Leong) and cc to Mr Tharman. Within 5 mins, Mr Tharman sent an email “Typo - Mr Goh meant Kok Keong”
We need a president who is charismatic, speak well and can think on his feet when he meets other global leaders. He must represent Singapore on the global level. I can't think of anyone more suitable than this chap.
People will think of him as the safe choice but seriously he is our safest choice for Singapore.
“Too many of our kids grew up feeling they are nobodies” instant tear up nevermind that I’m in public
Maybe I was living under a rock, but I nv knew that he made such important changes in our education system. And he even opened North light & pathlight. These are huge policy changes that made a real positive impact on the daily lives of Singaporeans. Kudos to u, Mr Tharman

The choice is so obvious. Mr Tharman will be a genuine, compassionate and wise president

humour is the highest form of intelligence. i think he proved that today
omg tharman himself on the show?!?? my favourite politician regardless of political party. he’s just so well spoken and affable. love him
Finally, someone read the JD of the role that they had applied for.
Actually the only one who is serious to take up the job. The other two is just here for the running.

Say and do is another thing. I cannot feel MR. Tharman sincerity besides advocator for CECAsians? 💙💙💙
Omg I also think he didn't shine as bright as his head @ presidential forum 🙃😂🤪
A thinker and a gentleman, and an activist at that. He should be our next president.
thank you jon for asking solid and thought-provoking questions that allows us viewers to hear what we won't hear anywhere else from Mr. T himself!

Finally! that the positive vibes from tharman and NKS
Tharman is da Man for the Top Job..... Salute to Mr. Tharman ❤
I vote Mr Tharman for sure . God bless you and your family 🙏
Tharman is the best of the best for Singapore president
My votes 🗳 for you...All the best & Gd luck Sir..
Tharman has good track record and is intellectual. Had he not been with the PAP, no one would make noise. The main issue is partisanship. ever since NKS keep on saying non-partisan, that word got stuck in my mind. Guess he still will win the contest this time. 6 years to serve, he would be 72 by then. Alot of things can and will happen within that timeframe internationally. Anything happen internationally affects things domestically. So a president with exceptional international standing is needed.
Aiya + also he can do 2 terms and not even be 80 sia. 72 and then 78. He shld just go4itttt sia.
kind of ironic because his time with PAP is both considered a strength of his but also the biggest (and perhaps the only valid and strong) argument his opponents have against him. regardless, he’s still the most qualified man and in fact one of the best we can find to represent our country.
Mr.T : It is all about Singapore 🇸🇬. LKY: All my life is about Singapore 🇸🇬.

It's regretful to know about the recent news about Tharman, but I really hope that people will choose somebody with substance than making promises
I am voting for Tharman. 👍👍
Vote him for? Importing more CECAsian?
@@johnlim1678 what has that got to do with presidency? that shows how much you know what being a president actually does.
@@johnlim1678👍👍👍
Tharman really echos the whole phrase of 'noblesse oblige' .
It's a shame that we have to choose between him and ng kok song.
Its encouraging to see more candidates like this. Even if they dont win they can still work towards the goal in a smaller scale.
He can fit either for PM or President role although his high caliber experiences better fit to be the Prime Minister.
13:19 President is not ceremonial role but puppet. Hope with him serve as the new President, he change the President role, not merely as puppet but playing active role with concrete actions for welfare of citizens and not for benefit of ruling party.
v good interview! ❤

Thank you for asking THE question upfront.
❤😘❤The ONE & ONLY❤️😘❤️
Having a deep and thorough knowledge on the reserves itself is a double-edged sword. Mdm Halimah approved billions for the Covid assurance package and she did not have knowledge in the reserves before that. She did perfectly well as there is the Council of Presidential Advisers to advise her. Who is to give a reserves expert any advice? 😅
Taman Jurong has the best kopi-o tailoh.....if you need to keep awake and ALERT, you get it at Taman Jurong.
Since “K” and “L” is next to each other on the keyboard, it is quite common to mistype my name to Leong.
I am not offended by this. Typo. Human error. Finger too fat.
There was once when my CCC Chair forwarded an email to Kim Leong and me (as Kok Leong) and cc to Mr Tharman.
Within 5 mins, Mr Tharman sent an email “Typo - Mr Goh meant Kok Keong”
Among all the candidates' wives, TS' wife looks the part of First Lady the most. Her husband isn't too bad too.
SOLID LAAAA!!!!
