I suspect that if TKL really wins, PAP will panic so much that their parliament will move swiftly to amend the constitution to remove all custodial powers of the president and restrict him to only ceremonial duties to attend NDP, community events & give awards, that's all LOL.
This means he will be banned from most powers and subjected to the following restrictions:
- No more 2nd key in guarding reserves or CPIB investigation - only one key belongs to the PAP Prime Minster.
- Cannot push nor champion any socials causes. This includes any matters on cost of living, public housing, CPF, taxes and levies FTs, CECAs etc.
- Cannot post anything on his social media except as instructed by the Prime Minister.
- Cannot receive any foreign dignitaries - all will be taken over by the PAP PM, DPM or SM.
- Not allowed to communicate nor contact any opposition party members.
- Public Office powers - can no longer veto appointments to key public offices, including the chief justice and the judges of the Supreme Court; the chief of defence force and the service chiefs of the Singapore Armed Forces; the commissioner of police; the attorney-general; the director of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), and the chairman and members of the public, judicial and legal service commissions.
- Can no longer work with the parliament nor the cabinet. This means he is not allowed to deliver the address at the opening of Parliament.
- Cannot have any private discussions with the Prime Minister. Cannot nag at the Prime Minister.
- Cannot pardon any individuals from capital crimes.
- Any other duties deemed necessary at any time under the discretion of the Prime Minister.
- Under 24/7 surveillance by CPIB who must report any suspicious activities to Prime Minister.
- If he fails in any of the above restrictions, his monthly salary will be reduced to $8500.
