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. "

It seems that All the President report to Prime Minister

He not happy then sack

so after Ong, the other Presidents became Yes Men.
IMHO, there is no more check and balance anymore
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.
You dont know that lady is selected one meh?
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".

President don’t check her own job and expects some1 to check for her only reveals her insignificance in our country.
