any more in SG??
This is What President job is, hold the reserve key this is why he need to ask yet???

" However, soon after his election to the presidency in 1993, Ong was tangled in a dispute over the access of information regarding Singapore's financial reserves. The government said it would take 56-man-years to produce a dollar-and-cents value of the immovable assets. Ong discussed this with the accountant general and the auditor general and eventually conceded that the government could easily declare all of its properties, a list that took a few months to produce. Even then, the list was not complete; it took the government a total of three years to produce the information that Ong requested. "

" In the last year of his presidency (1998) Ong found out, through the newspapers, that the government aimed to submit a bill to Parliament to sell the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB) to the Development Bank of Singapore. The POSB was a government statutory board whose reserves were under the president's protection; the move according to Ong, was procedurally inappropriate and did not regard Ong's significance as the guardian of the reserves; he had to call and inform the government of this oversight. Still, the sale proceeded, and the Development Bank of Singapore still owns POSBank. "

PAP has changed the constitution such that if the Council of Presidential Advisers disagrees with the president's veto, the parliament can override the (president's) veto with a two-thirds majority. With PAP now holding more than 2/3 of parliamentary seats, it means that the president is useless.

Only naive 61% believe PAP is honest

PAP changed the PE Criteria to fit themselves.

Which private sector employee/ MD/ local CEO can make profits after tax every year?

"During this period of service, the company must, on average, have at least $500 million in shareholders’ equity, and have made profit after tax throughout the entire period".
