fails WP:GNG. obviously a pundit. all sources point to his position as president of singapore institute of planners an sometimes a quote. no reliable sources for anything remotely biographical  Ohc  ¡digame! 02:55, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep While I know nothing about Singapore, and nothing about this topic, the guy seems to appear in what I think (unless someone knows better) are reliable sources. Admittedly, much of this article probably can't be supported by reliable sources -- and I'd propose that it be trimmed back to what can be supported -- but overall he strikes me as likely notable enough, if a bit marginal, once it's trimmed back.TheOtherBob 03:24, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * deletetypical promotional article for minor figures. I note that listing publications in a table is not accepted WP style, and seems to be characteristic of a particular group of promotional editors. Of course, others might naively copy it without realizing.  DGG ( talk ) 06:00, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

 * weak keep. Needs cleanup, but that is not a reason for deletion. Maybe just add his name as a member/leader in one of the organizations, such as Singapore Institute of Planners, if anyone care to write it, of which he is a former president.  Handful of minor press comments in a field that typically does not get much press may get over the WP:GNG bar...  &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 14:14, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per DGG and WP:TNT. Has written some newspaper articles, one TV appearance. Promotional. --Randykitty (talk) 22:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
