Singapore should return to having Parliament appoint president: Tan Kin Lian

TKL;
No point having an elected president if his hands are tied on issues, he added.
“I got a lot of notices about what are the things I cannot do, so I think it’s quite an unproductive exercise,” he said at a members-only event, organised by the National University of Singapore Society (NUSS) on Saturday afternoon"
Finally he understood President does not has executive power..phew..😅
After misleading so many Singaporean including some members over here.
Now lamented, suggest go back to old system selecting President, by the cabinet.

His point is that the gov has put so much constraints on the Presidency that it defeats the purpose. Then may as well go back to appointed one like the past. Hence if he is elected, he will push the limit by constant feedback to those in charge to help improve people's lives. He is not taking no but feel that he will speak his mind. That's him and for that he deserve the vote. If you vote the other 2, then quite sure they will end up like Halimah, TT or JLB.

He's ex-pap member and is already 75 years old. He dunno our system of government is different from that of the US and China? We follow UK system. It's been like that since he was pap member years ago. Now then complain?

He just don't want to believe Our President got no executive power. Very strange mentality 😕.
Even now TKL admitted publicly.

If you read laws. Then you will not be so misguided.
Please read his full article. He lamented so many time President hands are tied.
Many officials telling him cannot, cannot, cannot. According to Constitution.
That is the Law!!!!

No need lah. He already said he will consult feedback and discuss. He said his view is to help people and improve lives. If those ministers purposely object for the sake of objecting, there are ways to deal with that. Thats what he call soft power

Soft power is to persuade.
Policy is set in Parliament through debate and vote.
That's the difference.
He cannot even goes to the Parliament.

Exactly. If TKL really wants to change this and that and wanted to improve Singaporean's lives then he should take part in GE to get elected into parliament. I don't see him around in last GE.

He is saying this in the context of those saying president has a narrow role and cannot improve lives of people. Why then go through an entire election to get a president who does nothing.
Anyway the amount of distorted reporting and more attacks over pretty girl posts is to pressure people mot to vote for TKL and put Tharman a PAP man jnto office
Tharman has an OSA conviction that the media does even question why he committed it....that is more serious than using the phrase "pretty girl" but it does not surface in the media
