So isn't it an irony that he is now standing for PE? Dun tell me that he will be completely neutral. We cannot be certain of that.Actually we have a very good system in place for check and balance. Unfortunately it seems that the good system had been bent or breached with various means such as imposing qualifying standards for Presidential candidates where only certain people with PAP connections can passed. So, the Presidents all these years looked like PAP men. It appears that all these were done to attain absolute control of all state machineries under the PM. This is just my observation.

Only reading from newspapers otherwise Commoners will never know whether CPIB request been turned away by PM or not..
Importantly a PM should be certified by CPIB as not corrupted before stepping down.
