PAP treats own citizens as idiots as what ccs said. Which is why they dare to do such policy changes. Pui. President should step down, the longer that traitor sit in istana the longer this country rots

Remember to reserve next presidential election to former PAP members only (ex Tan Cheng Bock, his friends, his relatives, his neighbours, his neighbours’ tennis partners, his neighbours’ tennis partners’ dogs, etc).

SINGAPORE: It will be a “hard journey” to convince people about the need for changes to the Elected Presidency and the Government will pay a political price but it is prepared to, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Chan Chun Sing on Friday (Sep 8).

Speaking at an Institute of Policy Studies forum on the Reserved Presidential Election, Mr Chan stressed that as a young nation, Singapore had to evolve its systems to adapt to its circumstances – not just to meet the “here and now” but also to anticipate and pre-empt challenges that may arise in the future.

Mr Chan asked those at the forum to raise their hands if they thought the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) had and will pay a political price over the recent changes to the Elected Presidency, and the debate surrounding it, including the hiatus-triggered model to ensure minority representation.

Noting the agreement of many in the hall, Mr Chan said: “Why, then, did we do this?”

“If we are all good politicians, we won’t and we shouldn’t do it,” he said. “No good politician would sacrifice his political capital for a problem that may arise in future generations. Most good politicians in the world would try to preserve their political capital for themselves to manage their current problems.”

“There are many conspiracy theories out there,” he added. “But for every conspiracy theory that is out there, I have a very good answer for you.

“If it has to do with an individual, then there are many other ways,” he said. “And if it is for political gain, then surely we are not achieving it as you have rightly pointed out.”

They may or may not have lost some individual votes... but the NET GAIN for having a SELECTED President is much greater than just losing a few votes...

It is a calculated loss... they know they will not lose too much votes to lose an election... but the gain of having a President on their side is huge...

President with a Council of advisors. President selection criteria that keeps changing. Last but not least, President by race. What more can I say.

In the end PAP still win. Tanjong pagar GRC, please reduced PAP votes in the coming election. Let them win 50.1%...

This would show them what exactly is political price.

Many are confused. Most see the trickery and are unhappy to be treated like fools.
