i hope that someone from the government or someone from the authority can come out to comment on mr tan kin lian actions.

is what he is doing correct or wrong?

is what he is doing helping or causing more harm?

please government and the authority make your comment. a mp, a justice of peace, a judge, someone who is well know, rich and power, come out and comment.

show some support to tan kin lian or advise tan kin lian if there are any wrong.

why these important people are so quiet?

i know that even if at the eventual end, the victims lose and tan kin lian and party lose, they have done great merits.

the general public and future generation will surely be more educate about financial products, like insurance, stocks, bonds, structured products………………..

you people even if go to hell will surely suffer lesser because of your merits.

but i guess heaven will be your home.

I laughed when I heard this on the news last night: “Those who felt they were missold the Pinnacle Notes should seek the advice of the Financial Institutions”???

Does the gahmen expect the FI to say: “yes, we have missold you, because we did not explain the risks to you”?

Why is the gahmen abandoning its people in its time of need? Aren’t the MXS staffed with scholars and high calibre talents (local and foreign)?

I salute Tan Kin Lian for his endearing pursuit to get our Cold Hearted government to respond to any liabilities and or responsibilities, but I just feel it is a waste of time and effort.
All those who have lost their hard earned money to a government financial institute, just simply LEARN from it, and remember them for what they truly are.

Allow me to say that the government you were obligated to vite for, can bank on you. But YOU, cannot and shouldn’t have banked on them – especially with your monies…

Good luck to you all.

Mr Tan is really a remarkable man – when no singaporean dare to voice up and champion for the investors, he decided to stand up for them, even when he is not an affected investor.

In this aspect, he is greater than Obama.

I feel that Mr Tan would have more success in HK or other developed nations.
Many he is helping to voice up are apathetic and kia dong, kia si, kia nan, kia beh. Its really not worth to help them when they cannot help themselves from now till eternity.

“Our Parliamentarians are so quiet!!!

What so scary ? If they are not quiet then I really worry because if they are rowdy over social and country issues, it shown that our gov might have been overthrown ! Thank goodness, they are freaking quiet as usual. At least their bochapness shows our world-class clowns is still around snoring in the Ivory Tower. Now at least I can sleep peacefully knowing that my CPF is safe every month and won’t run away just like what LSS proclaimed

“Every month, when I receive my CPF statement, I feel so rich and the best part is, I know the CPF money won’t run away. CPF will still be around for a long, long time to come… Not only is it earning good interest, my capital is protected.

If the govt, the banks and FIs continue to remain silent, I suggest that Mr Tan Kin Lian start another petition and addressed it to the PM again.

This time, write the petition with blood supplied by the investors at HLP.

The PAP govt may not want to admit it but the fact that Mr Tan Kin Lian’s name was mentioned in parliament by Tharman suggests that Mr Tan’s effort has borne fruit.

Well done Mr Tan and the people of Singapore owe you one for this. It is an encouragement that for the rest of us.
