In his four years as the Unit’s first and only chief so far,the MP for Ayer Rajah has so established his credibility that he has come to stand for Feedback with a capital F and to personify the Unit in the eyes of the public”

Champion for the Underdogs | “He is indeed a very busy man,but he remains approachable. One of the most remarkable characteristics of his personality is his dauntless spirit of fighting for the underdogs. His involvement with the disabled came at a time when accessibility to public places for the disabled was an issue of public attention.
While most people in public service would only pay lip-service in support of a barrier-free society,Dr Tan was prepared to put his money where his mouth is. He is an ardent believer that deeds speak louder than words.”

HANDICAP WELFARE ASSOCIATION | | A Win Win Formula for Ministerial Pay.While using the bench mark of the median income of the top 1000 Singapore earners is better than 48 high earners in the past -the formula has not changed,only the numbers. Every year,the median income of the top 1000 earners will be used to calculate Minister’s pay. Some of those 1000 would have fallen off the list the next year. But,because the current formula only takes in the best 1000 in the high earners cohort each year,those fallen ones in the first year will not be considered in the second year. They will be replaced by better performing ones. Thus it is a win win formula. Consider this;if we were to use the SAME 1000 cohort over the term of office of the Ministers in our calculations each year,we may have a clearer and truer reflection of the fortunes of our top earners. It will be a case of comparing apples to apples. This will be reflected in our minister’s pay.
