SINGAPORE: Presidential hopeful Ng Kok Song questioned on Monday (Aug 28) if appointing leaders of opposition political parties to the Council of Presidential Advisers (CPA) in return for their support could be a "form of corruption".

He was responding to rival candidate Tan Kin Lian’s comments that he would ask Progress Singapore Party (PSP) chairman Dr Tan Cheng Bock and Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) member Tan Jee Say to be part of the CPA if he is elected President.

Speaking to journalists before a walkabout at Ayer Rajah Food Centre, Mr Ng noted on Monday morning that opposition party leaders said they were supporting Mr Tan because he is an independent candidate.

"How can Tan Kin Lian say he’s an independent candidate when he’s dependent on those opposition party leaders? What sort of independence is that?” he added.

“There’s a danger that he’s going to be manipulated by those leaders of the opposition parties.”

Mr Tan “even went so far as to say” that those who support him may be appointed to the CPA, said Mr Ng.

The CPA advises the President on major constitutional duties and its members have to abide by high standards, he noted.

Mr Ng said he was instead suggesting that it could be seen as a “moral perversion” of the CPA.

Dr Tan’s show of support for Mr Tan on Sunday has turned this presidential election into a General Election, Mr Ng said

“This is very very wrong. Why can’t the political parties concerned wait … for the next General Election? Why confuse the people of Singapore.

“If opposition party leaders want to make their political point, wait until the General Election. This is not the time to do it,” said Mr Ng, adding that this is an “act of disservice” to Singaporeans.

[ODA TETSURO]

They are preparing a "PAP fix" if TKL becomes president?

[moonrab]

NKS on full firing ahead!!!
Target infront. OTOT..fire..

[sgh]

Obviously NKS feel the threat from TCB with his endorsement of TKL. Afterall results have proven TCB can gartner really a lot of votes only narrowly missing out a bit previously.

NKS need to open fire to now. But he is GIC ppl govt ppl so many years how independent is he? He is same as Tharman that side ppl in most ppl eyes. He bring along his young fiance also cost him some votes with ppl saying he old cow eat young grass. Morally it is wrong.

Kosong can also say who he want to bring to CPA if elected. He can also suggest HC if he like. 😄

Why is he so sure TKL will be elected President ?
Mr Tharman has no such worry. 
Next President is Mr Tharman.

[Obamao]

[ArielCasper]

In any election, all candidates will attack the leading candidate to bring the person down so that they are the one leading.

Here we have NKS attacking TKL, so must be:

1) TKL is the leading candidate so must bring him down to overtake
2) NKS never intend to win the race, so help leading candidate to clear the path

So which do you think is the case here.

He got a point there. If TKL is elected as the EP, I don't see how he can remained impartial with the backing of TCB and TJS leaders of opposition parties.

[victortan]

Wow, exciting if TKL really got elected and appt oppies to the Presidential council..

LHL hair sure got even whiter...

[moonrab]

He got a point there. If TKL is elected as the EP, I don't see how he can remained impartial with the backing of TCB and TJS leaders of opposition parties.

Very obvious he is the Opposition candidate. I think he also doesn't denied it.
Without opposition voters, he goes back to 2011 4% vote. Lose deposit. 
This is politic.

[menghuii]

it's clear here
if u want NOT NORMAL u know who
if u want status quo u also know who

[Lukongsimi]

So which do you think is the case here.

How do u know nks never intend to win the race ?

[Lukongsimi]

With Oppo supporting him he is not an independent candidate.

[ArielCasper]

How do u know nks never intend to win the race ?

Then you must be thinking TKL is leading the race, that why NKS attack him to bring him down..

We got a TKL supporter here..

[moonrab]

With Oppo supporting him he is not an independent candidate.

This so call "Independent candidate" has no validity since President Election started.
All is BS in mine opinion 

[Lukongsimi]

Then you must be thinking TKL is leading the race, that why NKS attack him to bring him down..

We got a TKL supporter here..

Don’t know what u are talking about ?
I never think that how Lian will win the race

[Goldmine]

NKS has raised a pertinent question on the backing of two opposition leaders for TKL EP bid. Will this protest lead to a disqualification and render the Cert. of Eligibility null and void.

[ArielCasper]

Don’t know what u are talking about ?
I never think that how Lian will win the race

I know what I am talking about. You are the one who has no idea what you are replying..

Go to my reading posts and read what I have written, then give me the basis why you think NKS is attacking TKL now when Tharman is the clear leading candidate.
