Earlier I already mentioned, if anyone pay attention to the environment.  

Last 6 yrs, malay president is warm up seat,  Tharman will sit out the full 12 years as a Indian president,  which by then he will be 78.  The next one in 12 years will be open for a Chinese president liao. 

All plan for nong nong time ago lah, not that difficult to understand leh. [laugh][laugh][laugh]

 

Thought they planned the current female President to pave the way for HC. [lipsrsealed]

I am really amazed by some of you, who wanted tharman to do all the impossibles... come on, whoever take up this position can only walk around, smile and wave, shake some hands, give a few little speeches, and sign-off whatever gov push to him, that's all, he is powerless to do anything that gov has not advised him to do.

I don't mind him  or rather anyone to be there, it is just a farce and I just want PH!

They might move Desmond Lee over from West Coast. Since West Coast already got Iswaran also. No need two ministers there.

If "walkover" no public holiday[:(]

Gov Election Dept has to select a PE date and declared it a Public holiday (mostly sat). Once declared, cannot suka suka cancel. :a-aggressive:

Then nomination date and see any nomination to contest the PE. If none, then a walkover (since we know Tharman contesting).

If there are many, then subject to the selection committee to check the criteria of each candidate.

We shall see. But end of the day PAP will still get their way.

We all know the President is ultimately powerless.

If Tharman wins by a big margin, will it prove that Singapore is ready for a non Chinese PM?

Isn't he kinda wasted as a president though? 

I'd rather he stay on and advise the younger generation on economics.

Write MC Count money.

I believe Singapore has been ready for a non Chinese PM.  I know i am.  Race really isnt the issue but heritage and character (in addition of course to brains, vision, etc etc)  

Tharman is pretty popular with all races and he is a qualified candidate so it should be a “walkover” for him
