NICOLE SEAH

I feel that I'm an average Singaporean.

I just want to say that I want to endorse Tan Jee Say for President because I think he really has what it takes.

If I want to be brave enough to stand up and make my opinions count, I will have to take the punches and roll with it.

I tend to do things without my parents' permission.

In a democracy, you have the right to say what you want, but don't forget about equality: are you putting someone else down by saying it?

A lot of people have the expectation that politicians shouldn't just disappear into the woodwork even if they didn't win the election.

What I appreciate about WP is that they have very clear processes for candidacy and membership. There is no fast track or parachuting.

I know now that much of the pressure that resulted in my breakdown was self-imposed. I didn't let myself enjoy the opportunities I was given, choosing instead to doubt myself.

For me, any chance to serve Singapore even in its limited capacity... I would be glad to take it up and use it to serve Singaporeans.

I hope that people who might speak out respectfully and out of concern would not get mobbed or bullied for their differing views.

The president needs to be a figure that unites Singaporeans. In order to do that, he needs to be someone who not only understands the viewpoints held by the establishment, but those held by the other more divergent sectors of society.

I understand how it feels to stand in a crowded train, to be stuck in congested traffic.

I just like to eat, buy food, eat food. Eating is my hobby.

I still feel very uncomfortable with the term 'celebrity' because I don't see myself as one.

When you are in the public eye, in the name of public service, you have to understand that the more people know about you, and the more people say they want to support you, the more you have to work even harder to uphold that trust.

I think if you want to go into politics, you have to take a very long-term view with regards to what you want to achieve. You can't make changes in just a short time.

I like someone who can make me laugh and can make me feel secure.

If you think I'm just another pretty face, read my Facebook updates, read my articles, read the interviews I've done and judge for yourself.

I started in politics as a fresh graduate wanting to make a difference, by bringing more political awareness and interest to young people.

Technically I don't play sports because I have two left feet and I cannot coordinate and my motor skills are a bit 'out of whack.'

I think if you want to engage in social media, you must take the good with the bad.

There are patches in the GRC that are actually full of low-income people... and we cannot leave them behind in our pursuit of economic development and success.

I was drawn to the ethos of WP, which believes in building a strong and reasonable opposition that contributes to our political landscape in Singapore in a constructive manner. It's a party that does not oppose for the sake of opposing.

Having strangers bash you is something you never get used to.

I was a mediocre B-average student throughout my school years.
