So Dr Tan Chin Bock wants to be president (For the record, Ftr, I voted for him in 2011.). He obviously hasn’t been reading PM’s lips: that the next president will be a Malay and that the choice of candidates for president will be limited to Malays.

———————————

Yes, yes, I know a nine-member Constitutional Commission led by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon is reviewing eligibility criteria for candidates, the role of the Council of Presidential Advisers, and steps to ensure minority candidates have a chance to be elected from time to time. Still hasn’t PM stated his govt’s preferences? And for the commission to go against the elected govt’s mandate (more than two-thirds of voters) is to show disrespect to the govt and the voters.

Fair is fair as there has been no Malay PM since the first president (Ftr again, his widow lives a few houses down the street). Btw, wonder if PM means Malay-Muslim or juz Malay? Unlike in M’sia there is no legal requirement for a Malay to be a Muslim in S’pore.

The thinking behind any restriction is that us Cina would prefer any Chinese to any Malay or Indian, even if it’s someone like Tan Kin Lian who lost his deposit at the last PE. And if the Chinese man is Dr Chin Bock (a compassionate, intelligent, generous, gentleman) even Indians and Malays will vote for him.

But this Hard Truth is false because there’s one Malay who can beat Dr Chin Bock. with very little effort.

Last December, an anti-PAP paper warrior and I discussed who could beat Dr Tan.

He so hates the PAP that even when he uses SingHealth, he KPKBs that he must wait: he expects no waiting at polyclinic. I asked him why he uses SingHealth given his KPKBing and hatred of the PAP administration. He says thru gritted teeth, “Cheap” but quickly adds that PAP made him poor so he kanna use SingHealth. Ftr, he owns a landed property and drives a car: poor indeed.

Does not matter who is President,Chinese, Malay, Indian, Serani or Chap Cheng AngMoh. If Prataman and Col Kentucky can be appt any Tom Dick or Harry can be appt all on who FAMILEE approves.
 
The turn of the Malay President is a smoke screen. Having an elected President when 2/3rds of the country did not vote for him is a joke and a national embarrassment. They cannot afford to another round of this. By mentioning to the review committee that we need a Malay President, the PM has tied their hands. Old man knew full well when he moved to an elected office for President, that the pool of capable Malay potential candidates is practically minuscule based on the criteria except for ex Ministers. Then the Malays candidate must be wiling to stand for elections and face the general population. It must be a brave Malay indeed.

Note that despite Tony Tan's vast experience including cabinet positions and CEO of OCBC (blue chip and giant) the PAP had to force NTUC and the Clans to throw their support. GIC staff including the Comms head was "seconded" to save him. What hope is there for a Malay candidate.

It will eventually be an appointment if not under the first phase but in the final outcome.
