Dear Mr Tan
Perhaps you may wish to incorporate the following yahoo forum posting in your blog.

The original spirit is for the EP to check on potential renegate ruling party. The effective EP should logically be a non-PAP minister/MP for proper check and balance.
Presidential election is for the people to decide.
Why did the elite "leadership" of unions and establishments so selfishly take side ? It must be for obvious reasons ie. to enjoy holding senior positions continuously 20-35 years ignoring the need for leadership renewal.
For the sake of Singapore's future, establishment-endorsed TT should graciously withdraw. Failing which, hope 2 out of the 3 other candidates will pull out.
This will help forge a Unifying Force (1-for-3 approach). The more focused voters will then be able go full steam help the Unifying Force garner a decisive 55-60% vote count, leaving TT with just 40% vote count.

What if Tony Tan is not the focus of contest at all & the contest is focus between the other 3 candidates. ??? ??? ???
ReplyDeleteIn line with the original intent for an EP (for a more effective check + balance in the event of any potential renegate ruling party): it will tfore be an honourable move if estabilishment-endorsed candidate withdraws from the presidential race.
ReplyDeleteLet the 3 non establishment-endorsed candidates contest on a clean and dignified mannner.
In line with the original intent for an EP to ensure there is proper checks and balances in event of a renegate ruling cabinet, it would be an honourable move for establishment-endorsed candidate to withdraw from the presidential race at the first instance.
ReplyDeleteThis so that the non esablishment-endorsed candidates can contest on a clean and dignified manner.
