The President being just a custodial authority and having to consult the Govt in all matters, then it is primarily a demotion for TT if he is the President, and thus over qualified for the job.<br />Then it would be the country's loss for such a talent, his powers restricted by the Constitution.<br />We may make a guess, that PM Lee dun want him to be at GIC, as PM, the Chairman, wants full control and dun want TT, who is more experienced than him in Fund management, to be his Advisor, As President, the PM could control TT instead.<br />Yes, we could gauge that as President, It's demotion for TT.<br />like father, like son, PM Lee wants full control of the country's funds. Let's hope that, our PM is shrewder than his wife in managing our moneys.yujuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726993183726863734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-3568759450451595142011-08-06T09:33:14.321+08:002011-08-06T09:33:14.321+08:00Rex comments as follows,

PAP might as well install their president straight away. Tony tan is well respected by Lee Hsien Loong, but not necessarily by the People of Singapore. You will never find a person "a figure of Unity" that will unite both Pap and non PAP people. Such person doesnt exist.<br /><br />The PRime Minister's respect for the elected president is NOT THE ISSUE. If the elections shows the majority will of the President is Tan Kin Lian, or Tan Jee Say, then the Prime Minister has to humble himself <b>and learn to respect the will of the People as well as learn to respect Tan Kin Lian or Tan Jee Say whoever</b>.<br /><br />The PM is simply too proud to respect anybody other than a stooge yes-man. <br /><br />rexrexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387243237414170987noreply@blogger.com
