Not telling us what we have in reserves, can give the impression that there is something worrying to hide.
The issue of the national reserves has always been a dicey one. For those of a certain vintage, you will well remember the days on which our first elected President, Mr Ong Teng Cheong fell afoul of the Peoples’ Action Party (PAP) for asking questions about our national reserves.
At the time when he was President, it was well within his written rights to have asked questions about our national reserves. Unfortunately, it would seem from how events have played out that his right to ask was not the worth the paper it was written on. It would seem that Ong was stonewalled by the establishment for trying to be an active President and to earn his keep as opposed to being just a figurehead.
