The human brain is make to corrupt, it is own thru discipline and civilisation, that one refrain one from being corrupted.
Not the human brain but one that is from Taiwan and stuffed with 'hum' that will surely be corrupt.
Sleaze and corrupt goes hand-in-glove.
It is clear that you have the least opportunity to show any form of discipline - so stop wasting time and bandwidth in this Speaker's Corner with your useless homilies.
Alteratively, I suggest the president receive an honorium which is more like allowance.The honorium should not be uder the salary scale of the govt service.
Another perk for the president could be best & free medical care till death.
No response to my above msg.Probably no objections.But I'm not sure whether there are any readers.
fundamentally you task him to save guard our reserved and you are only giving him an allowance?

My ploy ?
Just from the "say so" of a "zwei-siao" character who claims that a PAP grassroot operator is good enough to stand-in for Chiam See Tong - if Chiam is not available ?
Surely, the Bavarians have not sunk so low before they become bankrupt as a Nation - or has the bankrupt "zwei-siao-Hog" behave in its usual dishonest ways ?
What? You expect the common people to wait for MP to come by? Simi lan jiao?We don't care if the grassroot operator is alternative party or not, bloody hell get the show on.

It is an honorium.No really an allowance.It would be a salary but much lower than the present one -- an appropriate salary to commersurate for the works done.

How about you sit in front of a loaded gun with automatic trigger for 1 hour? Your balls sure drop off one.
Remember the Laju incident!

I believe the above idea should be agreeable by most forum members.
Originally posted by PRP:I suggest president be a volunteer and not to recieve salary.That would probably mean he or she is very wealthy or receives pension and doesn't mind to volunteer his service to the country.
Crazy suggestion.

Originally posted by PRP:U missed one of his duties: he signs all the law passed by the parliament
he dun sign, he overlook only, it is the chief justice who sign it. He only open the parliament, go to sleep, then when all debate is finish, he close the parliament.
you think he so stupid to sign on something that is not his problem??? laws and bills belong to the chief justice..if not chief justice do what??? shake legs and call PRC gals ar???
Originally posted by Junyang700:My as well say let all politicians be voluntary.
Or perhaps Compulsory Politics Life for everyone. Say 1/2 year each. LOL...
Your idea of voluntary ministers has its advantages and disadvantages.If a minister is to work for free, then he should be already wealthy enuf to take up the job.
The presdient signs the legislation before it can take effect.I don't know whether he has the right not to sign a law if he disagree with it.If he doesn't have such right, then the signing is purely 'ceremonial'.
Because at that time, actually in history, Singapore was an ex-British colony. Do you remember the time when Queen Elizabeth becoming the queen of Singaporeans. So actually the decision to make the office of the President, is a good move. Because that means there is more self-determination and sovereignty, including in the symbolic fields. This is important.
Therefore it is good to have a ceremonial post. Actually I do not know which one is a better system, a presidential system, or a premiership system, but as people say, if it aint broke, dont fix it. So since Singapore has been using premiership, it just continues. One premier in the executive post, and one president in the ceremonial post.
ahahaha a funny thread being dug up
the president is usually a term used for a republic, which under the legal constitution, has its powers derived, (or supposedly) from the people; and this perspective is often perceived (or rightfully) as representational of the suffrage of the people. Again, republic has many forms according to the political mores of that state, or even sub-nationalities.
President is for posture only. Nothing to do one la. Ya. One extra duty: Watch soccer with people :D
Ya hor. Maybe he watch soccer to control the bookie section. He Bookie King. Help us to see how can the fund come in via soccer.

Actually, I think the main work of the president is to advise the govt. PM has to seek his audience and he can give PM his advices. He is the head of State while PM is the leader of the govt.
Every legislation has to be signed by him before it can be implemented. So he has to know all the legislative issues. I believe he can refuse to sign any bill which he disagrees and so the govt has to convince him -- in theory.

Do you think he know. I doubt so. Anyway, election coming. Hope one of the opposition can be the President. Then we can relax and watch show.
