The idea of an Elected President was mooted with the good intention to safeguard our reserves, so that should the government turns rogue one day, somebody is there to stop it from looting.
This is the whole idea of the Presidency besides of course the usual ceremonial duties.
But the 39% want to turn the presidency into an opposition party...make him a LOTO with the power to say no to everything the PAP wants to do, until they are soo frustrated that they resign.
We have GE and the oppo lost. So now they are turning the presidency into a type of opposition that is unconstitutional. Any candidate who suggests "checking the government" is lying through his teeth to the voters because he should know damn well that he cannot do what he says he will do, yet he campaigns on that line. Do you remember the four Tans? One of them said precisely that. He deserved to be voted out.
