British tabloid calls Singapore President Tony Tan a ‘Prime Miniature’
[UPDATE 29 October 2014, 10:23am: Added response for UK's The Sun Newspaper]
A British newspaper gleefully pointed out the height difference between Prince William and Singapore’s president Tony Tan during his state visit to London.
The Sun newspaper appeared to call the president a “Prime Miniature” in a photo of him standing beside the taller Duke of Cambridge, said local website The Real Singapore (TRS).
The british knew that chinese are not natives of singapore and will make fun of them. Thats why the country need 'mak cik' to represent the country as president.

Singtel took shortcuts and use ZTE hardwares/equipments. Now AMDK knows that communications through Singapore might be compromised.
She should also take care of her Singtel share price. The long-term trend is down.

THis is even worse! They hoodwinked the natives and looked down on the Malays even more. If the ex-President is Prime Miniature; the current makcik is Prime Dwarf Miniature; appointed and unelected. Not the people's choice but the PAP's.
They advise her how to spend her million dollar salary
That one no need advice sir.

She sure need.That one no need advice sir.
Malays are well known for bad financial management
Such appointments are a curse.
Chua will make her company lose 10-15% of her market cap in 2019 because of her distraction.
Pillay JY was the chairman of TigerAir which sank throughout his CPA appointment.
Olivia Lum's Hyflux also sank during her ST board appointment.
So that she can enjoy corporate plan now
Its basically jobs for the Boys and now Gals,,,,,but of course the resident mudslimes will comprain that m&ds dont get such lucrative jobs due to discrimination etc etc

The CPA was established to advise the President in exercising custodial and discretionary powers in safeguarding the Government’s past reserves and the integrity of the public service. It also advises the President on the appointments of key personnel in public service.
The President is obligated to consult the CPA when exercising her discretionary powers related to all fiscal and appointment-related matters.
The council consists of eight members and two alternate members, and each member’s appointment expires every sixth year. Three members are appointed by the President at her discretion; three are the Prime Minister's nominees; one is the Chief Justice's nominee; and one is the nominee of the chairman of the Public Service Commission. One alternate member is appointed by the President at her discretion while the other is appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister, in consultation with the Chief Justice and chairman of the Public Service Commission.
Membership to the CPA is drawn into three divisions. Each division has one member appointed by the President at her discretion and one member appointed on the Prime Minister’s advice. In addition, the first division has a member appointed on the Chief Justice’s advice and the second division has a member appointed on the chairman of the Public Service Commission’s advice.
These divisions are staggered so that every two years, all seats in every division will expire at the same time. Alternate members are appointed on a four-year term.

The CPA is the PAP's back up in case the presidency is held by an uncooperative president. The CPA basically can censure the president etc....so basically the peoples choice is being violated by unelected officials
Makcik should have Leongsam be her adviser. She will accomplish so much with his wisdom.
Maybe Boss is already Makcik's adviser?
If that is the case, I am very disappointed. Makcik is doing nothing exceptional except getting free gardening services so that the money saved can go to her special account.
Isn't that the best advice Boss can give? Sit back do nothing exceptional and still paid millions?
