民选总统竞选广播 (第二轮) Pt3/4 - 陈如斯 Tan Jee Say - 26Aug2011

Mr Tan Jee Say, who has been speaking of the "check and balance" role he will play on government, this time focused his message on the President's veto powers.

With his "Heart of the Nation" theme, he wants to use the President's moral authority to do positive things for Singaporeans.

Mr Tan Jee Say said: "On the use of reserves, I intend to encourage the government to do more and utilise it to invest in the future of our own Singaporeans, rather than in other people's future in overseas banks or companies.

"I will use the office of President to promote causes that unite Singaporeans. The fast pace of change has left large sections of Singaporeans behind who feel neglected and are angry that nothing has been done to alleviate their sufferings.

"A President has the duty and ability to address their concerns. I will initiate programmes that will galvanise the young and the young at heart, and harness their energies to build a better Singapore. At the same time, I will do my utmost to help the poor, the sick, the under-privileged, the retrenched and the unemployed."
