Born in 1956, Remengesau is the eldest of eight children of Thomas O. and Ferista Esang Remengesau.
President Remengesau reflects on his now-close relationship with his father, saying that when he was young, “my biggest disappointment was that we didn’t spend quality time together.” Remengesau describes his youth as “rebellious” and from his description, his activities more than raised concern of his highly positioned parents and other family members.
Remengesau’s aberrant behavior peaked when, in his late teens, he took a new government vehicle and crashed it, totaling the car and sending himself to the hospital for three weeks with a broken collarbone.

Yet the Remengesau administration is in the midst of a stormy debate over the key issue of whether the private sector is growing fast enough to satisfy national needs.
Remengesau favors the high-end, affluent visitors who have spending power, but arrive in fewer numbers and have less of an impact on the country's world-renowned marine and rainforest environments.
Indeed, when Tommy Remengesau goes before voters next year, Palau may be one the only countries in the North Pacific where voters will be debating issues related to the nature and pace of economic development.

But Palau, in its effort to protect a species marine conservationists say is threatened by overfishing has enacted a comprehensive marine protection law this month that states fishermen must now release a shark, dead or alive, even if it is caught unintentionally, what fishermen call bycatch.
In Palau and across the Pacific and the globe, fishermen have increasingly targeted sharks for markets in Southeast Asia such as Hong Kong and Taiwan where the expensive dish of shark fin soup is widely popular.
Remengesau recently received some international attention in May when he led a bonfire of shark fins seized in Palau.

 Palau sets fire to shark fins seized from Taiwanese fishing vessel
The gasoline-doused fins were set alight on the orders of Palau President Tommy Remengesau to demonstrate that the tiny republic was serious in its crackdown on shark fishing and mutilation, the director of public safety, Hazime Telei, said.
Remengesau, who received international attention when he first set fire to confiscated shark fins last May, said the republic could have sold the fins for a substantial profit but that it was "not in the business of selling sharks, nor do we want to be".
Comprehensive marine protection laws passed in September banned the practice of lopping off the highly-valued shark fins and took the additional step of outlawing shark fishing all together.

After fruitless meetings with the Palau National Congress, President Tommy Remengesau is pushing forward with voter petitions to get five proposed constitutional amendments put on the November election ballot.
President Remengesau maintains a Constitutional Convention is a lengthy, expensive and divisive process to achieve a relatively small number of changes and could “open a can of worms” for the young nation.
His proposed changes are offering Palauans in the United States the coveted option of dual citizenship so they do not have to relinquish their Palauan citizenship to take full advantage of the benefits of living in America.

For a seasoned politician, she’s surprisingly—and refreshingly—blunt, whether she’s talking about President Tommy Remengesau, Jr., the way government runs, being a minority of one at national–level politics, or about attitudes that need to change.
Earlier this year she told Pacific Magazine she wasn't ready yet to make that decision, and as Pacific Magazine went to press for this issue, she still hadn't gone public, though she hinted that her decision could be influenced by and made after Palau's hosting of the 9th Festival of Pacific Arts this month.
