reading the straits times you get a feeling the campaign has
began and sph makes no secret who it's rooting for....it's pitiful
to see the only national newspaper is taking such a bias stand. it
was questioning if the challenger, andrew kuan has the right
credentials apart for his accounting expertise..funny enough i
wonder if the present office holder knows how to even read a
balance sheet.
the new mr. nkf is solidly behind the present president, now we
know why he was chosen as interim and later permanent chairman. the
newspaper also seems to play up mr. kuan's church affiliation...i
wonder why so? is it to highlight to those who are not christian to
not vote for him??? disgusting...
i for one will vote for mr. kuan. i don't know him nor am i a
christian but only because i hate rubber stamps. can he win? sure,
remember mr. ong teng cheong won by a small margin? that was a slap
in the face of pap. no matter what, mr. kuan (if he does not get
disqualified because he didn't fill the form in blue ink..sacarsm)
must get a good result to remove the mockery of the elected
presidency...
this was mooted by then pm lky who wanted a counter check on the
government. when the late mr. ong teng cheong took his duty
seriously by asking to look into the financials of the state, the
then pm goh was livid and introduced new laws to limit that.
ironically, then mm lky suddenly said the president's office is
non-executive but only ceremonial. poor mr. ong, whose passing only
saw him a state 'assisted' funeral and not a full state honoured
one for that one interference.
so folks, for all the rants that you've been making in these
forums, it's time to act on it....
