Today: Man with a Mission

.........How else would you describe a man who is “impatient, easily annoyed and often angry” — according to a former employee — but always having a heart for the man-on-the-street?

“It is completely consistent with his conduct at NTUC Income when he often commented publicly on various matters. I can’t see him keep quiet about something he feels is wrong and affects ordinary people,” said Mr Stanley Jeremiah, who was NTUC Income’s general manager of life and health insurance department between January and August 2006.

Mr Dharmendra Yadav, who was a corporate counsel at the insurance cooperative, added: “When I joined NTUC Income, my mentor told me, ‘Tan Kin Lian is one person who will stand up for what he thinks is right. And he is the one person who will let you do the same’.”
