Hello, this Women's Charter is a real monster. For example, Section 69 (4) of the Charter says: The court, when ordering maintenance for a wife or child under this section, shall have regard to all the circumstances of the case including the following matters: (a) the financial needs of the...

Are you deliberately concealing some piece of information? Foreigners who are granted citizenship get the right to vote.

Hi, The Constitution of the Republic of Singapore makes it mandatory to conduct a referendum in only one situation – surrender, transfer or relinquishment of sovereignty by way of merger, incorporation or in any other manner whatsoever. Article 6 provides that: (1) There shall be —...

According to the ICA's website, the Global Investor Programme is very much alive and kicking! 1. Who can apply under the Global Investor Programme? Investors who are interested to start a business or invest in Singapore may apply for the permanent residence under the Global Investor...

Re: Ngiam Siew Ying - The superscale NPTD Director who wrote the 6.9 million White Pa Reminds me of one of my favourite comedies "Yes, Prime Minister". This video shows how survey results can be FIXED by asking the right type of leading questions to get the conclusion that the...

Ho Jinx would have been powerless if dumb Sinkies had not been so grateful for an entirely forfuitous chain of events that they willingly gave absolute power to her Father-in-law. If she has become an Old Buddha with great power, it is only because daft Sinkies do not have to balls to insist on...

From another thread: The white poster says "We demand REFERENDUM on PWP". Yes! To protect the innocent, I have to clarify that Rumpole is not the uncle wearing striped polo shirt. :p

I don't give a damn what you think and you only have the right to speak for yourself and not "most of us". Does your "us" include the 3,000 who were at Hong Lim Park this afternoon? Me don't needs your permission to do or not do anything just as nobody should give a fark whether a dumb ass...

This latest post of yours confirms you are a dumb ass whose IQ is as low as Doc Elmer. My opinion is that the "Constitution Requires Govt to Hold a Referendum on 6.9 million!" and I stand by that. I have also given a dumb ass Wabbit a link to the various methods of Constitutional Interpretation...

'Allo Mister Wabbit, you obviously are an IB - either for Team A or Team B. You have not even tried to rebut any of the points raised in my posts in this thread. Instead you chose the PAP IB route of making bold assertions without any supporting arguments. Please do not assume that I am...

You are either ignorant or a PAP IB. This is the link to Part III of the Constitution from Statutes Online, part of the official website of the Attorney General's Chambers...

How about this? Just change the lyrics from "We want independent unions that are free from Party Minions" to "We want a democratic nation free from Party Minions" and it will be quite appropriate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D4GQ0w04YU

Good question. Part III of the Constitution (comprising of Articles 6 to 8) deals with "Protection of the Sovereignty of the Republic of Singapore". Article 8 explicitly states: 8.—(1) A Bill for making an amendment to this Part shall not be passed by Parliament unless it has been supported...

There are many theories of Constitutional Interpretation, just google it. This link will give you some ideas of the various methods: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_interpretation Nobody gives a damn about dictionaries from 18th or 19th centuries. The SG Constitution was written in...

Yes, the constitutional barrier is Article 6. Please see the original post for the text. Becoming the 51st state of the US of A is clearly a transfer of sovereignty and requires approval by a two thirds majority of eligible voters in a referendum. This means that even if Parliament voted by...

The focus is not on each naturalised citizen's status but on the POLICY of granting citizenship on a massive scale such that the effect will be that current citizens become a much smaller proportion of the total voting population. It is the policy itself that is being challenged as...

You obviously have no idea what statutory interpretation involves. Try telling a judge "we should only use the dictionary and nothing else to interpret all our written laws" and he will laugh at you. Benions on Statutory Interpretation is the bible on this topic and used by judges throughout the...

It does not have to be either GE or referendum. We can have both. Even an unsuccessful legal challenge on the question of whether one needs to be held can have impact on the next GE. Voters may be swayed by the fact that the Govt so "chao kuan ah, so important issue also don't hold...

If I recall correctly, sovereignty is not defined in the Constitution. So it is open to interpretation and there obviously is no local precedent. They should test it in court, even if the chances of success are uncertain, what with the appointment of judges being made by the PM with no...
