  it would sound funny if the head of state title goes like this

  "Minister Mentor XXX visited China and met up with President Hu Jin Tao."

  They can always add another line. In Singapore, Minister Mentor equates to the head of the state.

  Agreed with you bro. Redundant to have president. Minister Mentor - Enternal President. Mr. Nathan is only a puppet. Lau Lee ask him to sit. He dun dare to stand. He dare to challenge the government a not and ask for audit on our reserve.

  I personally vote to abolish president. No power what there to say.

  i can only comment. Opposition is not united enluff to exert pressure on the government. what's there to say. Our older generation and civil servant all side with PAP. Our strength is too small.

  The octagenarian Lee, who is becoming increasingly unpopular among young Singaporeans, said lately that he would like to work for as long as possible.

   

  Just like Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars Universe..
