Share Your views on the possibility of a President that has executive powers, like the ones in France, Russia and the US!
You can have it in your dreams. We adapt our govt system from the British... so president is more of a "head of state" without any powers.
Respected but do not have much intervention powers in policy making.
S'pore president very powerful what..............without him a lot of events cannot happen............need him to cut ribbons..........
no point having a president that's not completely useless................any president is bound to be another of the Lee's puppets and lackeys............
No opinion.
Whats the difference anyways.
Just some minor seremonial differences / arrangement.
Can be PM or executive president.

I understand what youre saying. I feel that a presidency with powers is fiction with PAP. PAP needs a puppet to represent Singapore, or else, their trick would be exposed sooner. However, my topic is about the executive presidency under the opposition party, since chances are remote that S'pore will revert to the South African, French or Sri Lankan way of presidency, under PAP,then we'll have to see the opposition's manifesto. What do you think?

still no point lah..........the president is just another useless mouth to feed...........most countries with prime ministers also no presidents mah............plus S'pore so Goddamned small............
S'pore has the biggest bureaucracy in the world..............so many redundant ministers............that's why S'poreans kana taxed like crazy..........
if no president, then who will take care of Istana garden and dogs?
even the Istana gardener is more useful than Nathan..............
