Mr Tan just lost my vote. If you want to be MP or President, just say so. Don't think and talk like a woman; wishy washy.

Need 100,000 signatures? Might as well say you need a guarantee that you'll win before you run. Scare of losing your deposit?

His words just gave Chua credit that he did have ulterior motives for helping.

make sense?

wrong.

Minister w/o portfolio is a cabinet minister who is not a member of any ministry but has voting rights; much more than a regular MP (member of parliament).

In addition, they draw a cabinet minister's pay of $1.2 million (min), unlike MP who is drawing 10x less.

In this case, her step daughter has refused to let the bank speak her directly which is suspicious.

The bank will release the fund but in this case, there is reasonable doubt not to do so unless proven otherwise. In any case, this will not be the end as if she pass away, her will (if made recently) may be contested given this case as a historical background.

Contest by who? The bank? So that the bank can keep the monie for themselves?

Tis is not a simple case actually... on one hand the adopted daughter may really wanna treat tis dementia girl well and use the money for her favour... on the other hand tis adopted girl is a cheat and wanna conned tis helpless 92 woman of her last saving. I can "become" the step son of tis 92 year old woman if i intentionally wanna cheat her.

U can consider it like a will... tis person has the right to give her money to whoever he want in his will. However if he does not have a clear mind when he write the will, the will is not valid. Tis is to prevent people from cheating people under drug influence or having reduced mental prowess.

The best thing is to really let the court decide

Or the bank wants to delay till she is fully dementia then the bank can swallow the monie or what?

This tread is about paying property tax.

Why as leesee should we pay property tax when the registered proprietor is the HDB?

Furthermore there is prohibition in renting our the flat or room in the first 5 years, and restrictions after that. So where is the income potential of the leased property?( in the first 5 years at least)

Mr Tan had been running for INCOME for 30 years as CEO,since he was 29

years old.

I really cant understand :

1.Why did he suggest so many new stuff in insurance AFTER he stepped down?

Like he favours term insurance,kicking off agents from insurance!!Thousand of INCOME

agenst were feeding him in the past good 30 years----he seems foreget!!

2.In Every letter and insurance policy of INCOME,u can see his name!!

He needs to give us a very good answer on Q 1 before he

asks for 100,000 signatures!!

I think you got the topic all wrong.

The situation here will be worse.

You have the whole dog pound using public funds to travel for fun and accomplish nothing.

You have poodles that fixed the scholarship so that their puppies can get free education.

You have poodles that cannot be hold accountable for when the funds are gone through mis-investment.

Any reason why the old man dare not step down ?

Cos he and his whole families and his relatives will be procecuted for the worse nepotism in political history.

The old man always wanted to be famous.

He will definitely be famous when all his dirty laundries are hang out to dry.

The only sad thing is that we will have a worse situation here as the opposition are no better.

The bank manager is right.

If the bank lose the case,the bank has to pay its legal fee and even

the woman's legal fee.How much will it cost?

Sure the bill will be much less than 10 million plus!!

read below.

@@@@@@@

if somethings happen after the account is closed , the bank

then may be sued for neligience by allowing the woman take out the $$.

Then it will a bigger headache of 8 million plus !!

The bank will not pay 8 million plus so easy.Right.

So u have to add the legal cost to defend the claim.

If the bank lose,the bill will come up to more than 10 millions--8.8 million

plus legal cost of both sides!

@@@@@@@@@

OCBC is right to refuse!!

Let the court decide!!

Regardless of his intention, Singapore needs more not less brave people like him.

Regardless of his approach on the banking crisis, Mr Tan should be commended for his selfless effort.

Check and balance against excessiveness means speaking up when the situation calls for and Mr Tan has the guts to carry it out.

Someone who is always concerned that accountants make alot should revamp their entire perspective. It's the teachers that make big bucks here. Maybe you can reconsider taking up teaching as a career.
