President Nathan is a clever man.
Money makes the world go round and round.
Being well over eighty years old, many people of his age would take the easy and smart way out.

I had thought The President would be the one to decide, and the Cabinet would only advise. It is now clarified the Cabinet dictates what to be done. We should call it Cabinet clemency and not President clemency.

And maybe, this President / Cabinet has not decided one yet, in order to secure another term from the electorate, so he would not be setting a record for deciding none. LOL.

Others are now asking if the "so-called" Elected President truly has a key to our National Reserve after all !
Recents pronouncements from many in Authority ranging from " Just aspirations", "only as City-State not a Country" to this latest judgement, have left me wondering if my English is up to mark or not.

I do expect the current Elected President to do the right thing. He need only checked back what the late-President Ong did.
