The Hobbit thinks Prof Tan Ser Kiat should run for the elected presidency for the following compelling reasons:

a) He has run SingHealth for some 11 years as Group CEO – which owns SGH, KKH, CGH, several national centres and many polyclinics – surely that must be >100M in terms of paid up capital

b) He’s older than 45

c) He is a “Tan”, like Dr Tony Tan, Dr Tan Cheng Bock, Tan Kim Lian and Tan Jee Say

d) He is from RI – like Dr Tan Cheng Bock, Tan Kim Lian and Tan Jee Say

e) It’s been a long time since we had a doctor for President – 30 years to be exact, since President Sheares

f) Its a money-saving President – all the government offices only need ONE photo and not two

g) He’s already got one hospital named after him – Sengkang General Hospital  (i.e. SKGH)

Go for it, Prof Tan!!!!
