Let's cut the chase, Tharma any good or not?
#1

From my recollection, this guy never did anything worthwhile and commendable in his career with PAP

If there is any indication of his exceptional calibre to be the President, kindly lay them out for all of us to judge

No right?

So, case closed then

Another also-run selection, just like Halimau

IAM really disappointed

He may not have made so many mistakes as other MPs not because he is good but rather his role in the last 10 Years was merely deputy PM without any specific portfolio. 

Even if he is suitable to be a MP, it does not mean he will be suitable as a PM. Will he come out every month with policies or activities to unify Singapore? 

On the whole, give him a chance. Though, it is a risk for some groups of people and a 5 years period or risk.

Win the World but lost your Soul.

some say that astute SM Tharma did his best to follow even-more-astute PM LHL's directions;
and that he (astute SM Tharma) put in his utmost effort to fix any non-Party members.
all we know is that he is well-accustomed to residing in palatial estates..

Does he have the power to make any difference and reject Parliament’s decision?

Among the papayas he is best choice. Who wants HC. President is the best next step after minister. Got a panel of advisors just sign whatever is to be approved. Wasted talent to be next president but secrets upper most important when our reserves are concerned. Spore must continue to hv Triple AAA ratings.

Reasons why Tharman is selected to be president

1. He is obedient
2. He will not rock the boat
3l He will not change anything
4. He is a yes man


To the pap the above traits are the most important to be a good president

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Pap backed president how to be good?

Is it pink's ploy to use him? If he wins, he becomes a puppet president. If he loses, pap can play fear of freak election
in GE to gain votes

Ancestry and family... Clapping Rotfl

Tharman is a Singaporean of Sri Lankan Tamil ancestry. One of three children, he is the son of Emeritus Professor K. Shanmugaratnam, a medical scientist known as the "father of pathology in Singapore", who founded the Singapore Cancer Registry and led a number of international organisations related to cancer research and pathology.

Tharman is married to Jane Yumiko Ittogi, a lawyer of Chinese-Japanese descent. She is actively engaged in social enterprise and the non-profit arts sector. The couple have one daughter and three sons.... Big Grin
