It is true. My father was around his age. During their generation, you either attend a Chinese school or a neighbourhood kampong government school which teaches English and Malay. As a result, my father who attended the government school can’t speak Chinese (mandarin)He can only speak his dialect, Malay and English. Dialect was widely spoken and not Chinese. My grandmother used to joke Chinese is not your heritage language, it’s northerners from China who uses it, you need to speak dialect and not mandarin. Pls understand NKS and not judge him unfairly. He was born in a different era, he cannot be fluent bin that language. Speak mandarin campaign only started in the 70s, my generation, when we were taught this in school.
Yes, totally agree. My grandmother only spoke in Hokkien, no mandarin! I picked up Hokkien cos of her. Even then I am lousy at Hokkien. My mother was taught in a Chinese sch so she knows Chinese, Hokkien and interestingly Malay. Even Chinese is only up to P6 level for her. My dad was taught in an English sch so he could speak English but not Chinese. Being a Baba, he also spoke Malay and Hokkien. So how did my parents talk to each other? HOKkIEn!!!! They married late and i was born to them at a later age. NKS is around my parents' age. So, it was no surprise for me to know tt NKS doesnt speak Chinese. Chinese wasnt mandatory then. It is a pity tt dialects were forced to die out when Chinese became compulsory for all. Dialects are rich languages in their own ways. Just like in India it isnt just Hindi or Tamil but many other dialects.
He is totally honest when it came to 2nd Language later changed to Mother tongue. Many in that generation can identify with him when we were part of Malaysia.
But he is running for president. He should at least PREPARED or MADE some efforts to speak a few words in mandarin, definitely not just showing attitude when asked. It’s not an unreasonable or unexpected request… And LKY also was not educated in mandarin but he kept learning because he had the people at heart!
Respect the man who knows how to comunicate in his mother tongue. Its not he can't speak mandarin at all. I am sure he knows other dialects and malay languages. The most important point he said was he will correct his mistake and will learn how to speak to write in mandarin soon without any hesitation.
Mr Ng Kok Song comes across as a very decent man. 👍💐 He could well turn out to be the dark horse of this campaign. All the best to you, Mr Ng, and Sybil too! 🙏🏻
NKS needs à Miracle to Win because he was not iñvolved in Politics. Not Famous except that he had made Singapore Rich and Famous which many young Voters don't know. Why did he wants to be President when he should retire in a Penthouse in Orchard Road. As President he will be working closely with LKY's Pm Son. NKS wants to Reunite LKY' Broken Family because LKY was his Old Boss and Best Friend. As President NKS has the Power to Convince PmLee to follow the Will of his Father to demolish the Lee Family House in Oxley Rd when his Sister is not iiving there. NKS will tell PmLee that it is against Gòd'sWill to Honour his Father like a god. PmLee listened to his Wife HC.
.NKS want LHL to listen to him when he becomes president to reconcile with..?..WOW u can stretch that far..so enlightening... have quality to be adviser..Sg fortunate to have u around..😊
@@CSC-gu4us Do u know that NKS was with LKY for 45 years. He is almost part of the Lee Family. KS is older than LHL KS saw him Cried for the loss of his Family. This PE gave him a Chance to Reunite the Lee Family. KS wants to do it for LKY who gave him the Good life. As President KS has Power over PmLee who listens to his Wife who listens to S. KS's God Said, The Greatest Enemy is from your own Family. Now LHY is LHL's greatest enemy. Who is the Cause of the Family Breakup?
It is easy to say serve Singapore, Serve Singaporeans. If it is true, then first make a public declaration that the salary of the Presidency throughout the term will be donated to charity. This applies to our political leaders as well.
@Mothership, you should not have blocked the vehicle license plate number, and don't deliberately show the back of the interviewer to the camera...you want your subjects to be transparent, then don't make yourselves opaque
just wander before betting to be the president, what have he help to assist Singaporean? Why when wait till president election then they go around meet the people show face 😂
Remember Ng criticising others on spending money on merchandise and its a wasting money then why is he wearing a "T" shirt with the word "Ng" in Mandarin then hence he has no moral right to criticise others isn't it.
Can't imagine Singapore having a President like Ng and it will be a disaster for us. Ng just says what he felt and full of accusations on other candidates, especially on Tan KL but reframed from being critical on Tharman because he knew that he has practically nothing to criticise Tharman. As compared to Ng,Tharman is a well respec😅ted by World Leaders and also on International Financial matters and he is humble and graceful and a caring individual and always with a smiles,as compared to Ng is "miles" apart. The people of Singapore will know who they would chose to be the next President and Ng can carry claiming that he will win the election and prepare for his Presidential Wedding😅😂😂
Waste of time interview. Every single one of his interview is all about explaining himself and justifying his personal issues. Whereas Tharman mainly focus on the interest of the people.
Teochew niang, ka chng an an. And there is no more photographs taking ~ it is called Selfie. Also, U r not an Asian man at heart; most Ah Peks don’t go chasing skirts of age gap of 30 years.
Are you sure about your last statement? There's an entire market of female scammers targeting older men. Or have you not taken a hike round Chinatown's malls and seen loads of "service providers" peddling themselves for men that age?
@@teeteetuu94 There r respectable asian man and many tiko peks. R U implying Ng as 1 of your said. Go to Geylang n Thai Bars ~ plentiful of flesh to pick; if U so desire. Mind U - public vessels r dirty n subject only to individual self cleansing.
@Broskisnowski And I also know those Anglo Saxons have dark sexual desires of Sadomastic nature, of being tortured as slaves, drinking piss, urethral sounding, strangulation to heightened sexuality ~ I don’t think those Ah Peks desires that captioned here.
Well described said of this "CKP." He thought all Singaporeans were "dumb-dump."he has accidentally mentioned that he has known her fiancee since 17 or 18 years ago, and his wife passed on 14 years ago. he may have some extra marital issues, then, isn't it. then girlfriend and now fiancee, and she is all alone as both her parents are already dead. How can he be a role model to Singaporeans. Can't imagine him telling her that he still requires love and not only care!
NSK may inspired those young ones........but the older ones...lah, uncle. And cannot speak Mandarin, but can sing in Mandarin song.....sia. Wow!!! Only visited his old place when standing for PE, that's amazing!!!
The hand that has fed Ng his entire working life can be traced to the PAP. Even Ng’s post-retirement career would not have taken off if not for billions in state reserves/converted CPF monies handed to him and two former GIC colleagues to start a hedge fund.
An ostentatious president-wannabe can never unite a majority of Singaporeans who live in public housing estates. The former GIC CIO was also a key participant in the most reckless investment decision at the height of the global financial crisis.
GIC and Temasek has more to lose if they pull out of Avanda. Avanda is their cash cow. The government won't be that stupid to make loss in order to spite Ng Kok Song
GIC’s board included Tharman as one of its directors. Since both were part of PAP’s opaque system, we can bet our last dollar on transparency not seeing daylight should Ng or Tharman become president.

Down to earth person and rather sincere in wanting to influence policies.

Actually interview at a car behind is quite dangerous. If the break suddenly spoilt. The reporter (why we can not see his face) also in dangerous
Have you ever watch a Wayang Kulit ?
Ng kok song too old, he said in teochew, too tired, too tough. In actual fact, this Ng Kok Song is too old to be a Singapore president
President must know speak Malay, Chinese not dialect.
just wander before betting to be the president, what have he help to assist Singaporean? Why when wait till president election then they go around meet the people show face 😂

Don't think age-gap plays any role,look at:France's(1st.lady)yeah.....
Dishonest man. Gov invested $4 billion asset into NKS company in this blatant dishonest conflict of interest. Shameful. Gutter politics.
An angry man look
还算可以

Can I call you by your hanyu pinyin name? Because your dialect name is very I'm sorry, not nice but funny sounding.
So this is the guy that talks about gutter politics.
Sorry NKS. Wont be voting for you.
Mr Ng KS is the best Presidential candidate, l will vote for him.

He is the only one without any political party affiliation. He was just a civil servant. Is that a sin? Is that morally wrong?
I am a non Singaporean but i have benefited from PAP's administration so does that make me less independent?
@@eszeezee6967there's always going to be trolls at comments section who say things that doesn't make sense just to bring people down.

Unite ? Since when flat dwellers can unite? Even next door neighbours don't know each other ..
alot of questions but only 1 answer. Puppet
Waste time
Will Ng dare exert his ‘independence’ when threatened with the withdrawal of billions from his Avanda fund?
