Ze Westminster model got no term limits one lor ok.

However the UK parliament(unlike S'pore) has an upper house(House of Lords).

The House of Lords scrutinises Bills that have been approved by the House of Commons (lower house or eqv to our parliament).It regularly reviews and amends Bills from the Commons. While it is unable to prevent Bills passing into law, except in certain limited circumstances, it can delay Bills and force the Commons to reconsider their decisions. In this capacity, the Lords acts as a constitutional safeguard that is independent from the electoral process.


In UK,the independence of the judiciary is confirmed through statute, constitutional convention, and weight of opinion. In England and Wales, judges in superior courts cannot be arbitrarily dismissed by the executive, instead serving whilst in "good behaviour". Those in lower courts have similar protection from dismissal without due cause. Most members of tribunals cannot be dismissed by members of the government department of which they form part. This is important in cases of judicial review and other judicial methods of preventing government abuse of power

Putting into operation these institutions is useless without the culture behind it. In the UK, the protection of rights and civil liberties is very strong because culturally and historically, England developed these checks to curb the power of monarchs. Indeed, all that the modern world knows today regarding rights and liberties, freedom of expression, freedom of association, due process of law came from the UK. Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, John Locke's Second treatise on government, Ashby v White,etc,etc. There is a very strong cultural attitude, especially among the intelligentsia, towards all these.

In Singapore, we do not have that.
