Holding the second key


Dear Mr Tan
I am glad someone has seen through Dr Tony Tan's proposed candidacy.  He held the first key for a long time until he relinquished it very recently with a view to getting hold of the second key.  Will a holder of the first key, should he be elected the President and become the holder of the second key, uncover his own past sin (if any) while being the holder of the first key?  Do Singaporeans want to give a past holder of the first key the second key now and be none the wiser?       
Singapore needs to make a different choice!

Dear Mr. Tan

Dr. Tony Tan as Elected President is like appointing the Chief Financial Officer of a company after his immediate resignation to become its External Auditor. What do you think?

Mr Tan KL, when you reposted this quote from TSL, are you saying that you agree that the EP's role is akin to that of an external auditor to the government.

Is it the EP's job to check on how the various government body manages its monies, or it is constitutionally merely to grant permission for expenditure of the Reserves.

I hope you can clarify your interpretation of the EP's role with respect to the Reserves.

I post statements which are not wrong or defamatory. I will leave it to my readers to judge if they agree with it or not. I will give my personal views on some statements - but in other cases, I will be neutral.
