You have a sense of what you want to do and
you just do it because if you
listen to the world, your work will never be
done."
Mr Nathan
acknowledged that there is a perception that he had not
been as aggressive in his approach as his predecessor, the
late Mr Ong Teng Cheong, who was Singapore's first Elected
President.
Said Mr Nathan:
"There are voices saying that but I can't
answer them. I know the limitations of the Constitution and what
you have to do. So I'm not there in a boxing
match."
Same, birds of the same
feathers flocked together - nathan and his "boss" PAP make the
choice of not listening.
He is enjoying his role as a puppet and has not decided if he
wants to run for the presidential election. Please spare us,
nathan, please do not run for the next presidential
election. Enough is enough.
Nathan, you have collected so much money millions and millions from
Singaporeans, it is time you just retire. Highest
paid president in the world does not listen to the world, arrogant
!
I have respect for our late dear President Ong not nathan.
He does not want to be blacklisted so not performing the same as
late President Ong, what a bloody
coward! Selfish to be thinking of
himself.
President Nathan: Criticisms about me
are like ‘noises’ in the environment
After keeping ‘very quiet’ for the past 12 years, President S R
Nathan has been making quite a lot of ‘noises’ lately to please his
PAP masters and to belittle ordinary Singaporeans who have been
paying his obscene salary.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the NUS Commencement
yesterday, Mr Nathan described criticism against him as “noise in
the environment”.
“It cannot be stopped, hence there is no point adding to
it,” he added.
He also found his ‘voice’ to warn Singaporeans against voting
for a president who bows to ‘populist pressure’, claiming that it
would pose a ‘greater danger’ for the country without
substantiating his wild claims.
Noting that Singapore has come a long way to what it is today,
Mr Nathan said unhappiness might have arisen among some sectors of
the populace along the way in a blatant defence of the unpopular
PAP regime:
“It would be best for everyone to look back, see the big
picture and ask: ‘How did we arrive here? What are all the good
things that we’ve done?’”
When asked about his future plans, Mr Nathan quipped:
“I’ve not made up my mind. You know, I’ve been working
from the age of 14, 15, so the only thing I know is
work.”
Mr Nathan has indeed worked ‘very hard’ during his two terms as
Singapore’s first ‘walkover’ President so much so that few
Singaporeans other than the PAP leaders are sad to see him leave
office.
