It is such a pity that he has left TKPS and I am sincerely saddened by this loss.

He is sincere and warm and MOE should seriously reconsider parents' request to invite Mr Seelan back. The present principal, Mrs Chong, sorry to say many parents found you to be more of "FOLLOWER" to MOE mgmt than attending to parents' concerns and requests. You should resign and give way to a new principal even if Mr Seelan does not return.

It is dissapointing too many negative comments were made on current principal, Mrs Cheong for her lack of leadership and passiveness in handling parents' concerns and inputs. Mr Bucktha, pls return to TKPS, parents and students miss you much!

All of us would be comforted to see Mr Seelan at the helm of a school he played a vital role to found. I beseech MOE to review their decision and weigh the consequences with your basis behind it.

Mr Seelan always took the time to listen to my ideas, especially the one about supporting the Tsunami Appeal, and with the school's overwhelming population, talking to the principal one-on-one was something that I didn't think was possible. I really miss his mentoring now that I have moved to Australia, and I'm sure that many other students will benefit from his great advice if he was to stay on. So please let Mr Seelan stay!

He really goes the extra mile for his students and staff and we should do the same for him by getting his stay extended!

My child has Mr Seelan's support to thank for getting a shot at P1 and finishing in band 1. His leadership style set the tone for the teachers and school alike. He will surely be missed if he leaves.

He is heart wrenched by having to leave the school, it is too early. Allow him to stay for another 2 or 3 years.
