The constitutional scope of the president's power is limited to that of a custodial role over that of the country's reserves along with being the nominal head of state. If the president is to have equal power as the prime minister, who derives his legitimacy and power from parliament, that would effectively mean the end of the Westminster system in Singapore. Goh is not suggesting merely constitutional reform but a complete evisceration of Singapore's constitution and parliamentary system

Singapore politics is too dull and horrendously run by one unchallenged party. Having this man voted as president may add more excitement and colors. We should not let this opportunity goes to waste, especially when the past 5 years have been a disastrous without a real president.

Who are they to say what the president role is? He check on the reserve and report it to us, Singaporeans. If any wrong surface then get investigated, and jail the culprits.

If he is smart and daring enough he will state the truth in public that the role of a president is similar to that of a statue eg guan gong or even more honest a puppet.
This honesty will garner many votes and possibly win botak.

If he’s honest , he wouldn’t even try to be a damn politician !

That's why there is no point to tell lies in public.
Just tell the truth. You want to be a statue uhcle let you be one.
If he was being truthful, he will say that the huge pay cheque is a big motivator too.

He didn't even pretend to say that he will donate his earnings.

LOL 'equals'... you're a puppet, albeit a well-paid one.

Sinkieland is a totalitarian regime, if there were proper checks and balances in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation about the overpaid Istana doggie doing a 'check' on the govt. :roflmao:
