Elected Presidency – Another Uniquely Singapore innovative idea

The most creative and innovative people in Singapore must be the political leaders. They are coming up with mind blowing ideas that no one could think of and always work. The latest is this great idea called Elected Presidency. It is like a genie coming out from a bottle to solve all the critical problems of Singapore, ie, to protect the nation’s reserves from being squandered by rogue govt, to unify the country, to give the minority a chance to be the president, thus be seen as participating in the main stream of the country’s politics. The unifying factor in a multi racial society, where he is seen as a symbol of racial unity is really crucial.

Whenever I write a piece praising the govt I know for sure that I would get a lot of walloping from my readers. But I am just saying the truth. This EP idea is so innovative and so effective that soon other countries would be borrowing it from us. There is a genuine fear that the ruling govt of the day would turn rogue, and Parliament and all the parliamentarians, all 87 of them, could not do anything and someone must rub the bottle to release the genie in the form of a EP who would then be able to slam down the rogue politicians from running amok. I am not sure whether a minority president is more important or the protection of the nation’s reserves, the rush to make the next EP election a Malay President election would give an indication of which is which.

One genie, a very exceptional one, with all the stringent qualifications, with no compromises on meritocracy even if chosen from a reserve minority EP election, will be able to take on a whole Parliament of rogues.  This EP is the last man in the defence of our nation’s reserves, incidentally include the people’s CPF savings, so don’t pray pray.  Your savings in the CPF depends on the EP to protect. With this genie EP, your CPF savings are safe, forever.

And there is no worry that the genie would turn bad himself. His power can also be limited by the non elected but appointed Council of Presidential advisers that are smarter and more powerful than him, to control him if the genie misbehaved. If this is not enough, the Parliament could overrule the EP with a 2/3 majority I think, correct me if I am wrong on this. The genie is the most powerful factor, but can also be controlled. This is called checks and balance.  Who says Singapore got no checks and balance? Some may think this concept a bit ‘mao dun’, but the virtue of it is that it works to the point of flawlessness.  Many million dollar heads, the best in the island, have been put together to ensure that this is the perfect thing to have, so how can it be wrong, or how can it not work?

I don’t think any genius or any country could come up with a better and sounder idea, a better man, a unifying figure, all powerful to protect the nation’s reserves from a rogue Parliament,  all rolled into one man, but its power can still be curbed when needed, by the same Parliament it was designed to control. With the EP in place there will be stability, no gridlocks, and our democratic Parliamentary system will be safe. And this is a responsible thing to do for the future generations. Anyone opposing this idea or offering alternative ideas is irresponsible.

PS. Someone said that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both qualified with flying colours when the stringent criteria for an EP are applied on them. This is a good proof that the formula and criteria are good since Trump and Clinton are good enough for the USA, so cannot be wrong. The formula has been tested.

This minority president thing would one day come back to haunt the PAP.

Based on the Papies EP system logic, a minority PM should come into picture any time sooner, & base on their new criteria the next PM should be Botak Taman ..there is no need to think hard or choose by pinky..tio bo?

Botan is Indian not Malay lar and the next ep for Malay only. I just switched off the tv when news like that broadcast as I can not tahan the nonsense.

Yaacob said the Malays want a Malay President so this election for Malay EP. And constitutional change to make sure it will be.
What if the Malays want a Malay PM, would the PAP also say can? Would PAP do a constitution change also?

Why don't we just go back to the old system of our parliament nominating a President.
Then LHL and his PAP majority in parliament can choose whoever they want to be President.

And Singaporean taxpayers can save some money by avoiding this expensive dog & pony show to "democratically choose" a President from a field that has been artificially reduced to just one person.

Is the above viewpoint a fair and true sentiment?
What do you think?

We have to abolish the elected president to feed a single person with millions dollars but doing so little things for citizens ie for citizens, they are not benefited.

Look at today s election results:
Hang seng crashed this morning at close to 500 points.
Mexico currency crashed 5.5% (10:15am Sin time) and around 9% at 10:35am) at this moment.

U guess the market is guessing who will win?
He will not bring TPP to Singapore door step. Neither She will. But there is one big gun thought TPP will be passed.

Why abolish the elected president? Back to basic. The world is changing to take care of their own country's citizens first.
Its the movement: citizen first. Voter first.

DT: "you have no job, what a hell gonna do?"
Singapore citizens are gonna be poor if they insist to give jobs to foreigners at priorities, while the govern spends dollars after dollars on property.

Property is the key to boost the ministars salaries for the past 20 years. This kind of industries create few good jobs for educated citizens and young men.

Singaporeans are in trouble if they do not change their minds on globalization. The trend is opposite, based on US election trend.

The “real Black Swan” that China has to face up to is the enemy within — in the upper echelons of the military and government — as well as its inability to transfer power peacefully and the threat of a long and bitter civil war.

TL Tsim has studied the Chinese political scene since the 1980s, with a background in journalism, including the South China Morning Post and Hong Kong Economic Journal before starting his own consultancy.

In an interview with Real Vision TV he said the greatest misconception among its people is that Chinese dynasties are super stable structures that last a long time.

Ohio state is a marker since sixties: the winner of the 18 tickets would huat liao, get the job to be white house housekeeper.

Trump got it just now. Will he be the housekeeper?

Singapore s economic and foreign policy is stuck with the extreme position it took since 2015. China will be able to ignore Singapore s influence to control South China Sea through US. Trump is unlikely to give free money for the generals to sail at the sea and drink beers partying. If Hillary wins, she will be stuck with the strong demand for jobs. South China Sea may not be the priorities among the many. Of poor health, Hillary is expected to last 4 year term, not 8 year.

Singapore neglecting creating jobs by broad industries instead of concentrating on construction and property while they intentionally curbing salary as a way to please the giant corporations through importing foreigners, Singapore cannot lapse to a better position overnight. China market is likely hard hit by Trump s higher taxes against it. Demand on Singapore goods and services to the biggest export market will further decline.
Singapore s biggest mistake is: curbing citizens salary growth against the fast pace increase in property and rental. Thanks to Pap s great job. If China open the KL Port Klang, Singapore s trans shipments will be further hits because Singapore s US war ships are watching and monitoring the china cargo.

Trump s win is more than 90% now, after winning Ohio. For now.

The world democracies big or small have been hijacked by self serving crooks, rogues and scoundrels in all spheres of government, commerce, business, banking and finance. Everywhere the people are held to ransome with low salaries, high taxes both direct and indirect and high cost of living with highly expensive housing, transport, health and medical services. Western democracy is doomed. We need more enlightening people to serve the country and the citizens. If you want to grow rich and make a lot of money please go into business and not politics because politics is a calling to serve the people and the country with respect, dignity and integrity. We do not need crooks, rogues and scoundrels in politics camouflaging under a veil of false respect with cloaks and ties.

Eagles Eyes, you are right. USA with over 350 million people cannot produce more decent people to run the presidency rather than two trash scumbags. Hillary Clinton is devil woman incarnated. She is full of evil She kills and slaughter people without seeing blood. She has destroyed Iraq, Libya and now Syria. She is a liar and charlaton. She and her husband's Bill Clinton Foundation cheated and siphoned off about 20 billion dollars of Haitian earthquake fund donated by the whole world to Haiti. She and Bill Clinton are so evil that they should be put behind bars for life.

Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair,hover through the filthy air. That is the state of affairs in all so called western democracies now.

Opposition parties should urge PM to add this amendment

The elected presidency should goes to Opposition party to prevent dictatorship of one party state in Singapore.

In addition to that,

If ruling party had majority seat in Parliament, the speaker should goes to Opposition party.

If ruling party had successfully form a govt, one portfolio, Minister of Communication and Information should goes to the Opposition party.

Trump won the presidency. I think Ash Carter will not be Defense. Plan to surround China is not likely attractive to Trump. You know? Trump lined up his family to meet the supporters at his winning speech (this is Trump, he always family line up and no big guns from GOP on stage), he hugged a little girl. That is Trump s grand daughter. This little girl can speak fluent mandarin and sings kiddy mandarin songs. Trump s daughter has plans to do biz in China. No doubt from her planned education for her little girl.

Little dot s pm wanted TPP in white house after dinner. He can never smell it from the fact that GOP won also control of Congress and Senate on yesterdays' election together with presidency. TPP is Obama s economic plan to exclude China. TPP never allowed China to join. The little dot pm likes TPP so much, he might be at the loss. Because RCEP, China s TPP included little dot. Will China benefit little dot for its failed plan to surround China after Hillary s failure? Its hard time for little dot for the failed policies against China.
Trump promised to charge Japan and South Korea for providing US military services to protect these 2 countries. The bills cannot be 5 cents, correct? Will Abe now ask little dot pm to follow japanese war ships to tour South China Sea, when Trump cut the 7 fleet and 3 fleet budgets?
Japan and little dot has good combination in characters among the 2 leaders.

Albeit a tiny RED dot (snuggle between two red mammoths)

Please save the sarcasm because the government is indeed very smart to get people to accept paper wealth of CPF and HDB flat as real, and suffer death through a thousand cuts each year, frequent insults, and still vote Papy, happily.

Either your rulers are very smart or Sinkies are very stupid. The latter cannot be true since we have so many accredited universities and centers of education. And our people are consistently pursuing new tertiary degrees.

This gov repeatedly calls its voters morons, provide rabbit hutches for homes, keep wages low even with the value added education, no place to go during weekends, standing room only sex, and still the Happy populace. Must be enjoying the damn good chenghoo.
