President SR Nathan, please save your reputation
President SR Nathan has generally been well-regarded by Singaporeans despite not being elected by them to office. However, recent events have severely dented that respect and Mr Nathan must move quickly to avoid further damage to his reputation.
Firstly, as Mr Low asked in Parliament, how did Mr Nathan agree so quickly to using the reserves? What is the process used to evaluate such requests? What are the reasons for him agreeing to the government's request?
Mr Nathan is the custodian of Singapore's reserves. Under the disastrous leadership of Ho Ching, Temasek has lost $58 billion of Singaporeans' hard-earned money. Who knows what happened to GIC which is under the control of Lee Kuan Yew?
Mr Nathan, as President, you must take the initiative to release the above information for the public to know. Without a Freedom of Information Act, ordinary citizens have no other way to demand the disclosure of such information from the government.
You are a very close friend of Lee Kuan Yew. But he is not your boss. You do not need to save face for them by covering up their mistakes. Please remember your duty to the citizens of Singapore. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
