Presidential Election 2011

[limlim]

Oppsgal:

Only 3 candidates?

:faint: don't know who to choose. Does this election got any impact on how Singapore will perform, like GE?

possibly, if he is able to put in some check and balances and extract transparency and accountability from the ruling party.

Share a real life kid's joke here.....


Once upon a time, a precocious kid told me he wanted to be President of Singapore when he grew up. Then I told him, President of Singapore <> President of USA, there would be no power. Immediately he asked, \"Then who has power?\". I replied, \"The Prime Minister.\". Again a rapid reply from him, \"ok then I shall aspire to be the Prime Minister instead.\". So cute right from a child? :lol:

aiyah, where salary is concerned, both jobs ok lah :evil:

kids not tainted with power of money yet....

u shd say being a prime minister is bigger becos prime minister spelled with 13 letter whereas president only spelled with 9 letters...

so prime minister is BIGGER.. :laugh:

i am ventilating my pent- up feelings:


if jayakumar and law minister shamugan say president just has blocking powers,and yet the pay is over 4 million per year
what sort of "advanced foresight "thinking and planning has been going on for the past two terms?
all WHOLE PAP elite should have bear responsibility for the "over payment "in view of such non executive role.
i have a more favourable impression of the late President Mr wee kim wee and his wife, who seemed to me to be more people-orientated

Yes, I have high regards for the late Mr Wee too. Had met him in person at an event, very approachable and no air at all. Mr Ong Teng Cheong was not too bad oso, quite people-oriented. Can't say the same of the current one though. And yes, $4m seems like an exorbitant amt for even a president. But as Mr SR Nathan would have told you, quote him: \"Although I've been quiet, I have been doing work.\" unquote.


Btw, he is coming out with a memoire, wonder if it's a \"tell all\" book... :nailbite:
