Would We have Satay Man As President?

[MarrickG]

A FORMER satay businessman says he hopes to contest in the upcoming presidential election.

Mr Mohamed Raffi Bashir Ahmed collected application forms from the Elections Department yesterday, reported The Straits Times.

The 50-year-old ran afoul of the law in January this year for driving a van spray-painted with expletives into the headquarters of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis).

He was arrested again in March for disorderly behaviour and using expletives on police officers. He was freed on bail of $8,000 after he was remanded at the Institute of Mental Health.

Mr Mohamed ran a satay business but it was shut down in 2007 due to financial difficulties. He has since set up a new company selling frozen fast food.

He joins others, such as former foreign minister George Yeo, former NTUC Income chief executive Tan Kin Lian, former MP Tan Cheng Bock and former private tutor Ooi Boon Ewe, in the presidential election.

Why not? if he's voted in. Nothing else matters.

It's obvious he is jumping on the bandwagon to get free publicity just from getting the form.

Are the forms free? or do we have to pay a fee?. Collect forms, what the big deal, have to give deposit & hand back the forms.

If we have prataman, we can always have satayman, provided he is not mentally unstable. One more hurdle for him apart from the $100 millon question.

We would have an all night long free Satay Feast at the Istana if this chap is elected...

But on second thoughts errr..... this Satay Bugger looks like a looney.....

Selling Satay is nothing.
