Paul Tambyah can speak fluent Mandarin

[pclow59]

Better than a 成何体统 Chinese

 

[twinklingstars]

not surprised, his wife is Chinese (she was my professor back in NUS)

His wife is also a doctor?

 

[li9ht5peed]

[blankies]

Wow.....respect......

 

[mansae]

His wife is also a doctor?

nope she's a marketing professor and she's also quite a nice lady unlike many other bitchy marketing profs i've had in nus who likes playing favourites, this prof was always very fair

[XiaoJinLing]

Ok. Hope he get it but the pap guy also not easy for him...

 

[Intel888]

If I'm not mistaken, his wife is a Chinese.

Oic.
Then he should know the culture, and can connect with the population i.e. the majority.

 

[rainygrainy]

All the best Prof....!!!

 

[EDMW-Hates-Me]

I like him. he was an expert in infectious diseases and gave some thoughts during the Covid pandemic but PAP unwilling to incorporate him into the taskforce

He also said no need to wear mask. Some edmwers were scolding him back then.

 

[deathan9el]

not a surprise actually
mostly seniors around here may know more than 2 languages

 

[gwbasic]

Of course lah, he ish Paul 坦白 mah...

 

[westtraveller]

I think I recall a video where he said he learned Chinese as 2nd lang in school that’s why can speak until this standard

 

[noname2016]

He has an impressive portfolio actually, worked in the NUH for years, working through both the sars and covid pandemic and is an Asst Dean for NUS Medical school. At some point i think he was also involved with NCID for the pandemic efforts also.

He could have easily joined the Thunder Party but he chose to represent Sinkies by joining the opposition party.

Why he join SDP? He might have a better chance if he go WP

 

[anchoraz]

Tis doctor v good. Mus vote him in.

West side, he got chance at Bt panjang.

He should represent SDP in coming Chinese debate. Sure win more swing voters..
