</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>




<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->AFTER the historic landslide victory by Barack Obama in the United States Presidential Election, there has been a flurry of questions on whether Singapore is ready for a non-Chinese Prime Minister.
What many people have failed to highlight is that we have already made tremendous progress in this aspect. We should not forget that Singaporeans, in accordance with our Constitution, elect the President, who is the Head of State and who holds office for a term of six years. We should also be proud to have a non-Chinese, Mr S R Nathan as our President, now into his second term. He is well-loved and respected by all Singaporeans regardless of race, language or religion.
Although he returned to office uncontested, this should in no way diminish the fact that he had the support of an overwhelming majority of Singaporeans of all races.
While race could still be a factor in the mind of a Singaporean voter, there are still many other more important factors that could influence the average pragmatic Singaporean voter, such as the quality of the MP serving the constituency, the standard of living, and economic and social stability.
We already have many outstanding and successful non-Chinese ministers in the present Cabinet. So, overall I don't think the idea of a non-Chinese Prime Minister is something far-fetched - it may happen sooner than expected. Dr Edmund Lam

Yeah!, I love him, yeah, yeah, yeah...yawn!:p

I was with a young relative at ICA renewing his passport, when he asked me, who is the Indian couple pictures on the wall!.

How do you love him, when one do not even know, who the heck, he is?:o

Honestly, I never voted for him!, still does not know what he does?, other than those 'jiat hong' trips, most recent to Kuwait, kissing babies etc.

I did not vote for him!, and it is assumed that I did, & I agree:mad:

No one except the PAP gang voted him in as president and this joker wrote that all Singaporean elected him; Hic !

He does nothing much but the tax payers pays him a huge salary every month without fail. That's how much Singaporean luvs him; Hic!

Luv & total Support for the president by Singaporeans ? Perhaps its the greatest farce of Asia.

Who wouldn't love a guy who gets paid S$4m per year to cut ribbons and state the obvious?

To say it OTHERWISE is to joke with 'reality'.

I think the prataman loves his monies more than he loves peasants. He will support whoever (Papee) pays him well. Do you guy agree? I think Wee Kim Wee was the best followed by OTC who finally did something great before he passes on. I cannot count any achievement by prataman, he seems heavily fed to listen to pappy beck and call not forgetting his presence in the last charity did not draw much donations (less than half milion in the 2.5 hours shows.)

Not really as far as most of us are concerned he was appointed rather than elected. As a result people love to make fun of him. :biggrin:
