Article: My response to Tan Jee Say's presidential bid

21st July 2011:

With all the hype about the upcoming EP, I have finally come across an article about Mr. Tan Jee Say that is very much non-partisan; My response to Tan Jee Say's presidential bid.

If you are mainly an opposition supporter and to a significant extent; partisan, you will most likely be comparing between Mr. Tan Kin Lian and Mr. Tan Jee Say. Mr. Tan Kin Lian has left the PAP cadre since year 2007 while Mr. Tan Jee Say has only joined SDP for a mere 3 months and resigned.

With the abovementioned, let me refer to what Ms. Hazel Poa (NSP Secretary General) told The Straits Times, "The opposition National Solidarity Party (NSP) has proposed a change to the Constitution to require presidential candidates to cease being members of political parties at least two years before contesting." This change if approved should be applied to both ruling party and opposition candidates who are interested to run for presidency, no less.

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge. It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong. (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with. Though I h...

Our Second Child

15th June 2023: It's 2.22am and I am lying in the hospital bed. I am having an ectopic pregnancy (wherein my fertilised egg implants in my fallopian tube, not uterus so there is no chance of survival). I was sensitive to my body so I only managed to fully celebrate my long-awaited 2nd pregnancy for 2 days before I had some semblance of what was happening. Momentarily I questioned God but after grieving somewhat satisfactorily, I was able to cling onto the characters of God and acknowledged that God allowed this to happen to me for a reason. I may not understand why, but He promised to go through this with me. During this season, I kept contemplating the story of Job - how he endured and it gave me a lot of strength. I always find it fascinating how he could say, "... Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" More than that, my preacher reminded me how much it pains God to give and take away from me. In summary, I had a dose of methotrexate administer...
