SINGAPORE - The Workers' Party (WP) is making a second bid to raise the issue of the elected presidency in Parliament.

Its chairman, Ms Sylvia Lim, has filed an adjournment motion to speak for up to 20 minutes on the timing of the recently concluded reserved presidential election.

This comes after her adjournment motion on the same topic, filed for the Sept 11 Parliament sitting, was not picked in a ballot.


The sitting ended up being two days before Madam Halimah Yacob was elected unopposed in this year's presidential election. She was inaugurated as President on Thursday.

Ms Lim's adjournment motion is titled "Counting from President Wee Kim Wee or President Ong Teng Cheong for Reserved Presidential Election - Policy Decision or Legal Question?".


It has to do with when the Government should have started the count of the five presidential terms of office needed to trigger a reserved election.

An election is reserved for candidates from a particular community if five terms have passed without a president from that community.

If Ms Lim's adjournment motion is accepted, she will deliver her speech when Parliament next sits on October 2.

Madam Halimah's election in a walkover has sparked criticism by some people who said they were disappointed they did not get to vote.

A silent protest was held on Saturday at Hong Lim Park against the presidential election reserved for candidates from the Malay community.


Madam Halimah was the only candidate who qualified to run for the office. Two others, businessmen Salleh Marican and Farid Khan, were not eligible as their companies fell far short of the $500 million shareholder equity threshold spelt out in the Constitution.

The WP said in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Sept 19) that should there be competing bids from other MPs to speak on other topics during the Oct 2 Parliament sitting, a ballot will be conducted according to the procedural rules of Parliament.

It added that the ballot will likely be held on Sept 26.

After Ms Lim filed the adjournment motion the first time, two other MPs also filed adjournment motions to speak on other issues, and Ms Lim was not picked in the random ballot.

Bukit Batok MP Murali Pillai ended up speaking on "Community Sentencing and Other Rehabilitative Options" on Sept 11.

The timing of the reserved election was the subject of a legal challenge mounted by former presidential candidate Tan Cheng Bock. In August, the Court of Appeal found that Parliament has the right to count from President Wee's term.

Raising the issue in Parliament is one thing, gaining traction from the masses is another. Which way is more impactful? Teehee...

WP should learn from other countries' opposition parties on how to obstruct proceedings in parliament. WP can't do much of value in the house, therefore they might as well try to paralyze parliament, at least give Sinkies a good show just for entertainment.

The only good show from the current group of wp is when csm stood up to declare that lky is not his father. A spontaneous reaction of a Chinese as true Chinese culture does not accept anybody to suka suka go acknowledging others as their father. Incidentally, it also revealed the true 'colour' of the other so-called opposition present then.

I 100% agree with you that was the only good show while the rest of his existence in the parliament he do fuck off while getting paid MP salary. I guess many opposition or ex opposition supporter like myself are very disappointed with this bunch of WP monkeys.

The coming parliamentary session would be Mdm President's first session as our President. It should be a joyous occasion. Instead, WP is seeking to mar this happy occasion with a witchhunt, an inquisition. What a bunch of fuckers! Lock them up!!

WP MPs have been collecting MP allowances for so long. Why are they asking boliao questions about Elected Presidency being policy or legal ?

Come on ! Every opposition supporter is waiting for WP to ask the Govt about Temasek, GIC and CPF. Why these 3 departments escaped WP's radar completely ?

I can assure you if SDP gets into Parliament, this will be the FIRST question. It's enough to put the Govt on the back foot. Instead, WP's practicing yoga and meditation in Parliament has invited PAP to come back with avalanche of AHTC issues.

let this go, it's over. There are more pressing issues to debate. so what if they started with wee kim wee? They could just as easily have used ong teng cheong but set it at 4 terms.

WP under Teochew Kia will not prosper further.

WP is no longer an opposition party but wayang in parliament.

WP getting kicked out of Aljunied GRC will be a good wake up call.

If an opposition party want to be elected into the Parliament, first they must be able to win the ground supports in voting for them.

Not talking cocks singing songs for nothing :rolleyes:

Hearing the people concerns and helping those in needs will put an opposition member in a good position in getting elected.

Why some people do not understand these :confused:

Attending funeral wakes, having regular trade fairs in your estate and organising durian trips to Johor is not going to be good enough. They have to when need be speak up forcefully in parliament on issues affecting the electorate.
