            With LTK, Sylvia and gang gonna to be \"sue until pants drop\", doubt there will be any heavyweight opposition left for next GE.

            Yes. It gonna be a walkover

            that's the problem we are facing. we want opposition in the parliament but they really 不争气.
            MIW sure laugh until pants drop since no heavyweight opponents.

            To be fair, if you've been following Parliamentary sessions, you would know that Opposition MPs have been doing their jobs conscientiously raising numerous valid issues in Parliament.

            However, no matter how hard-working they are, it's still very hard for them to be deemed 争气 when there are just 6 of them.. vs 82 from the ruling party..

                May I know why you keep redirecting traffic out from KSP Forum to this other Forum page? You are the owner of prolificskins? I saw you posting this link at the LHY thread too.

They've also posed many decent parliamentary questions.

                  The quality of the questions is there. Just that many are more legislators than town councillors, so they need to work harder in that department of spring cleaning etc. Hope the successors and young WP can quickly learn a thing or two from the 3 seniors before they are declared bankrupt.

                      Plus our elected President has a chance to prove she's a good President in the ensuing 2-3 yrs.


                      That will be really easy to do. A good President just needs to be seen and not heard. All I want from our President is a handshake and a photo op that I can hang up on my wall. 😉

                      No, a President will be heard, good or bad. Because the President must send condolences alongside the PM each time there's a natural disaster, terror attack, demise of another head of state; or happy messages to her people on NDP, etc.

                      I'd already shaken Mdm Halimah's hand before. You can go queue up on Deepavali outside the Istana for that photo opportunity 🙂

                      Speaking of the wall photo, may I know if the photos of Dr TT and wifey have been taken down since 1 Sept? Anyone working in or near public/govt buildings here?

                      I wonder how Mdm President is going to look like in the scouts uniform? It's unprecedented for a lady president with tudung to don the scout uniform.

                        last time, many years ago, was there any election, before Yusof Ishak formally became President ?

                        Or was it another .... walkover ?
                        What do you mean? There were only 2 PEs in Singapore after independence. OTC and TT batches.

                        Yang di pertuan Negara was created to replace the last British Governor appointed by QE2 in 1959 to prepare us for self-governance. Then came SG independence, so the title of Yang di pertuan Negara was changed to President. Yusof Ishak was Yang di pertuan Negara from 59-65, then renamed President from 65-70.
