tharman will probably be president for 12 years (2x terms)

[countryman]

I've nothing against Tharman.. But what's exactly so good about him? Of coz we know of all his credentials but I don't recall him doing a single good thing for regular Sinkies like us! Has he ever spoken up for Sinkies to challenge or adjust the system @Times?

As everyone knows about Mr Tharman's credentials & decades of service to our Nation, there is no need to repeat it here. Ultimately, it is about COLLECTIVE efforts of the carefully ELECTED Legislators by CITIZENS that made Singapore what it is today. Many issues & details are discussed behind the scenes. No one could justifiably take credit for successes, as it came from the collective whom worked TOGETHER positively to overcome challenges.

That we citizens survive, have food, water, shelter & jobs, peace, progress, justice & equality, are the basic yardsticks of measurement for what the Elected Govt as well as the 61% voters had done for us. There is more to be done to improve, but in the end, Singapore is not a nanny State. Each citizen too must pull their own weight together as one to progress further.

To protect Lawrence Wong, the answer is Yes.

I don't agree.. Sorry to say n l'm not convinced.

It's okay Mr Countryman. Each has a right to their own opinions & gifted Free Will.

The insignificant nobody me will not attempt to convince you or any other fellow Human, nor take away your Earth born gift of Free Will. Free Will is a power & comes with responsibilities to oneself & to others, in our journey towards common goals, thus may each choose paths wisely. I can only share a light, for others to gain a far bigger perspective.

I wish you all the best, & may you succeed in life in your own honest way.

天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福
话不可说尽
势不可去尽
凡事太尽, 缘分势必早尽

You maybe right.
Tomorrow is never promised to any of us.
Waking up every morning is a miracle.

He sideline himself to avoid the coming war of the worlds.

He can be president for the rest of his natural life. Just change the constitution on Monday.

I was thinking the same damned thing. Why bother with an elected president? They can simply appoint whoever they want, and that person can then remain president for life. Or until they lose the pap's favour. This elected president thing is a circus.

 

[CoffeeAhSoh]

correct?

yes, correct

 

[Charlie99]

SR Nathan served 2 terms.

He was not elected, but was via a walkover

 

[rocket]

correct?

Correct

 

[Papsmearer]

correct?

u start this kind of thread for clickbait or what. He will be President for as long as PAP and FamiLee order him to be. Only u can't see that.

 

[Papsmearer]

Tharman then Ho Ching. The script is set.

That is not the script. Jinx is already 70. If Tharm serves 2 terms and she takes over, she will be 82. That cheebye should be dead in the grave by then or have open mouth like FIL

 

[Papsmearer]

Why not. He is the epitome of multi racialism and diversity.

He is the epitome of the PAP ballsucker

Spoken like a true PAP Ballslicker and IB dog. I have news for you. Food, water, jobs, shelter, peace, progress, etc. are basic things that ALL governments in the world deliver to their citizens. But non of these govts charge their citizens multi million $ salaries to do so. Just because the singapore govt also delivers these things mean nothing. They were elected to do so. Understand? As for justice and equality you mention, kindly point out where in singapore can you find it?

Don't forget that with P & M, he may drop dead even before his first term ends.

They already do appoint whomever they want to the CPA which pulls the strings of the president.

But no one really reads the constitution so nobody bothers about it.

LMW is right, race based politics like the GRCs is no longer relevant.

Speaking of the Constitution, anything advantageous to them is passed into law. They might hold debates to champion their cause, to give it "legitimacy". But each piece chips away at our freedoms. Such high handedness do not seem to bother most of us.

The country sold its soul for the almighty dollar a long time ago. LHL and HC went full retard to embrace neoliberalism in the past decades. Lee sold and Ho bought... Biggest farce in our nation's history. That failed when we started re-nationalising previously privatised entities. Bus, MRT etc. Ho Sold and Lee bought.
