TT never has intention nor desire to be the EP and had plans to retire 5 years ago.....it's all bcos of TCB
U must be the last person in Singapore not to know that Tiny Tony is the uncle of Lee Hsien Loong. How does that feel?
Do you expect Gay Loong's uncle to do do anything about it? Both sides are his direct relatives. He is staying away from it like many of the other relatives.
It is pretty clear TT was drafted. One of the most silent of Presidents. Even the ST can't find much to cover about his doings. I suspect the deal was he would save the their asses but he would slumber through his term. No more than one, mind you.
If you think TT is a big disappointment in this event...wait till you get the Speakeress. I think far worse and more biased in opinion.
At least TT diam diam sit there collect salary and no take part in Lee debate.
Whether he was drafted or volunteered is no reason for him not to do anything now when the ball is in his court. He just cant ignore it and pretend nothing is happening.
What do you expect him to do? He has no executive powers and he is not adored like the late thai king. Barely 35% of the voters chose him, remember?
Does Tony need me to advise him on what to do in the current alleged abusing of power by LHL?
If he does not know his duties and powers, ask him to read Articles 21(2)(i), 22G
Are you officially on his advisers' council? Shouldn't those guys, his aide-de-camps, be telling him or advising him what to do?
Tony should not be blur even if the Council of President Advisers didnt advise him to invoke his Presidential powers. SG is in dire straits because of alleged abuse of power by LHL. This is time for him to act
Articles 21(2)(i), 22G allow him to get CPIB to investigate the alleged abuses
What sort of an elected President is Tony?
TT's term is ending soon, he just wants to peacefully collect his millions and then fuck off lah..........
TT was obviously a very reluctant EP. He really did not need the power nor the income.
He was clearly placed there to combat TCH & TJS...and as a scapegoat and having served his purpose as a conscript, he is now in ROD mood.
for his personal sacrifice he deserves the medal of honor.
Tony Tan son in law is actually helping Lee Hsien Yang to deal with legal matter and social media matter.
he also helped to translate part of Lee Hsien Yang chinese fb post
