Alex Tan, Former PSP CEC Member, Joins Tan Kin Lian’s Presidential Campaign Team

SINGAPORE: Former Progress Singapore Party Central Executive Committee member and party chairman Tan Cheng Bock’s longtime personal assistant, Alex Tan Tiong Hee, has reportedly joined presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian’s campaign team.

Mr Alex Tan, a founding member of the PSP, said: “The ship of democracy is sinking! But alas – the gift of heaven that gave forth the manna to the hungry and dying Israelites – has come to salvage so fortuitously a lifeboat in Tan Kin Lian. Phew! Why not? So that’s how I re-opened my friendship with Kin Lian – and our lifeboat!”

Singaporeans are now asking whether Mr Alex Tan’s move indicates the PSP’s support for Mr Tan Kin Lian in the three-horse presidential race. Mr Tan is widely seen as the candidate most independent from the Government but has come under fire for a series of past social media posts.

With endorsements from Dr Tan Cheng Bock of Progress Singapore Party, Tan Jee Say of Singapore Democratic Party and Lim Tean of People’s Voice, it is clear that the major opposition parties are behind Tan Kin Lian in PE2023.
