Look at the last column where it dictates if Council of Presidential Advisers (CPA) needs to be consulted, and the items that are marked "NO".

The EP can say NO to the appointment of PM, without having to consult the CPA.

Still think the EP is just a 2nd key guarding the reserves ? @Papsmearer is right after all.

EP can kajiao kajiao the appointment of key appointments in Government companies, including Temasek ? Wow !

Still think EP is ceremonial chobolan ?

The EP has the power to revoke the appointment of Chief Justice, Attorney-General, Chief of Defence Force and Commissioner of Police .....

wanlaneh ...that is helluva a power ! Yes, albeit CPA needs to be consulted. But it's a personal discretion, that means the EP can initiate it.

They don't want citizens to know too much.

Means wat? Means PAP (thru their supporters) will find all ways and means to smear TKL during this period to ensure he is not elected.

Else sure activate this contingency plan....
