President Nathan looking forward to next phase

By Alicia Wong | SingaporeScene – 44 minutes ago

President S R Nathan said on Friday he is looking forward to the next phase of his life, "which will hopefully (have) less pressure".

Speaking to reporters on the eve of Polling Day, he was quoted as saying by Channel NewsAsia, "My feeling is the same - I've decided to step down, so I'm ready for it."

He added that Singaporeans are sensible people who will do what is best for the country. He hopes voters will look at the polls from that perspective, as they have done all these years.

President Nathan was speaking at the sidelines of the Teachers' Day reception at the Istana, where give teachers were given the President's Award for Teachers.

They are:

* Mdm Dianaros Ab Majid from Haig Girls' School,
* Ms Serene Han from Montfort Junior School,
* Mdm Chua Mui Ling from Woodlands Ring Primary School,
* Mr Ganesan Raman from Fairfield Methodist (Secondary) School
* Mr Chong Jack Sheng from Woodlands Ring Secondary school.

The annual award recognises teachers' commitment to the holistic development of students and to nation building.

More than 10,300 nominations were received this year.

Overheard in coffeeshop in Bedok this morning, discussing EP...

Ah Pek, in Hainanese "What is so difficult about the job. No need to be educated. All you need to do is to say one word. Just say 'yes' (said in English) everytime the government ask you to do something.

Understandbly, it HAS been a very presurering in the past 12 years.

Hey, Prataman, it can't be helped.

After this, he dun have to go office anymore and still get paid. Im sure he will be less stressful.

You don't know his excuse for not trying for 3rd term is because he has flatulence problem? With a fat arse like that, the pressure is from there giving lots of smelly farts.

If cooking Briyanis is called pressure, then I got nothing more to say about this lump of fat..

Congrats nathan for becoming the most distant president in singapore history.

when people speak of your name, we will recall the dark decade when singaporeans were maligned by pro state policies.

We will always remember your silence and your absence.

Has anyone noticed that the four candidates (including TT) has done more to justify their bid for the presidency in the last three months than SRN in the last 12 years? Scary!

SRN will be missed by the ruling elite and is assured of a state funeral when he uplorries.
