My Linkedin is at the bottom of my page.


What will I do for the estate? Nothing to promise here. Just do a better job by being bolder than the incumbent. Incumbent is PAP and estate is managed by Marine Parade Town Council. It's a tough customer service role and in my LinkedIn I believe you can see my experience is in consumer.

Married with 3 Beagles. What else would you like to know? Glad you asked

@jeremytansg Qn for you:

What would you say to those who question your motive and agenda for running? Since you have never been in public service, never served the community before, and now, out of nowhere, you claim you want to serve? One would wonder if you just want the publicity that comes along with running, publicity which will be useful for your business/bitcoin endeavours once the GE is over.

3 years of staying in this smc, I saw LBC more than 20++ times on the ground. But, good try though. We need people who are willing to give a good fight.

I totally agree he has done his rounds. But you might be getting Gho Sze Kee as the replacement. Newbie for Newbie fight, give me a chance! Thank you

Is this the same person that got down voted en masse on r/Singapore

Found it.

From the thread

• Allow investment of OA & SA CPF monies into Bitcoin. These investments would be guaranteed by the government at the CPF floor rates (i.e. fully risk free investment)

Lol, CPF guarantee Bitcoin

 

[jeremytansg]

@jeremytansg did you consider joining one of the opposition parties ?

I did actually. I spoke to Pritam before. I told him that I am considering running here, and I wanted to join WP to volunteer to see if i can change my mind. He told me I will never change my mind. Linda Low mistakenly re-invited me again for the volunteer session by accident which I went, but I got never asked back again.

SDP still has stain of CSJ, boomers in Mountbatten won't see it favorably based on their history.
PSP is the west side so no point discussing here.
Mosquito parties don't need continue lah we have the same odds.

Vote for an edmwer ?

its true hdb policy is stained since mbt and becomes pro-incumbent to pass the costs to citizens

Hope ppl in ur estate thinks d same as u

After decades of supporting the opposition, many residents of my estate are now in their senior years. Politics has taken a backseat in their lives; they find joy in the simplicity of everyday comforts. While efforts to win their hearts with extravagant offerings like abalone porridge have been made, they now prefer the straightforward satisfaction of plain porridge.

Thank you for asking.

On public service: I grew up poor, a period of time in rental housing so as a disillusioned kid I thought it was a PAP problem. So that had two effects - didn't think of public service due to poverty mindset and also began my journey of understanding why I was so angry toward the system.

By the time NTU year 2 came around I already bootstrapped and started my business so I had practically no time to think of other political endeavours. EXCEPT - i hand itchy go become the Han Hui Hui heckler.

In GE 2020 my mother had stage 3 cancer and my father and brother lost their jobs, so had to support them. Business was also undergoing due diligence by Unilever so it wasn't easy to do anything. I voted for PAP at Tanjong Pagar at GE2020 because the opposition candidates dont need say lah.

Post GE I think more people should think more carefully about why we continue the HDB ponzi scheme. High prices means the next generation pays for the previous's retirement. It has all types of terrible 2nd and 3rd order effects. I have no business to shill for my personal gain sorry. Bitcoin is a $2 trillion market, i cannot move it. It is a mathematically guarded idea - that money should be finite. It is a network guarded by energy, and it is superior money. Singaporeans deserve to retire in durable money.

Thanks you asked!

I guess Pritam and WP is not interested in Mountbatten since it’s deeply entrenched in PAP. Just like how hougang is deeply entrenched in WP

 

[charleslee1989]

Lim Tean might be lucky to escape a 3 corner fight if he contest in Jalan Besar (contest 3 corner by NSP which is now even more hated) or Tanjong Pagar



I wonder why she left(was seen as recently as Mar in KB), maybe told she won't be Fielded?

No idea too but from what I know from PSP, if you want to even have a slimmest of chance to be fielded as a candidate, you need to do very regular door to door visits like every week do 1 time at least. PSP emphasize a lot on ground work. Even if you are Harvard/Oxford/Cambridge grad, you also have to do it every week.

recently got a 5 year old token drop 90% in a day

https://cryptobriefing.com/om-token-crash-allegations/

problem is that access to bitcoin and other crypto tokens should not be done by the man on the street. if the common man are getting scammed easily by a phone call, then promoting bitcoin to the masses to manage on their own cryptos on their own wallets would be a financial disaster without a middle man (i.e. the banks now providing anti-fraud services). the man on the street would need a management "wrapper" to prevent them from issues like accidentally sending token to wrong address or wallet getting hacked

I think every party wants to say they know how to spend better than the PAP. I don't think it's a good angle. But I've spent alot of time thinking about why we put ourselves in this position in the first place, and I realise we have to redo the HDB and CPF system.

Singaporeans all want to work hard and harvest their retirement asset in an inflation protected way. The current system makes the next generation that way. When land costs are factored in, the next gen have a floor pricing to live. This floor pricing is paid for with their CPF(which is lost to the time value of money because the interests belong to CPF) and they are becoming exit liquidity for the older generation. I like Confucian values but wtf is this lol

who pay if the underlying Bitcoin declines? why should CPF take that risk if it does not enjoy an upside?

A country as well-organized like Singapore actually has the power to sell many financial instruments to hedge our volatility risk. After all, backing the SGD is just really selling the US Dollar. Based on our financial system and exposure to entrepot trade, we can actually create many instruments at the MAS, GIC and Temasek side for institutions to partake in taking on long duration SGD risk, while we both participate in Bitcoin upside.

That's because of the sheer amount of USD transacted here and our Gold reserves. You are right - individual people need the wrapper and hence the IBIT in USA is the best performing ETF in history and in the world.
