Happy National Day to Singapore! How many of us watched the NDP? How many of us felt proud seeing Halimah Yacob as our Mdm President?
Yes, she was nice to have stayed a little longer to meet some of the performers, but what has she really done for Singapore? How come we can only remember her milo gao kosong? Doesn't it remind you of how unfair the reserved presidency was?
"Just wanna remind myself.. that she is #NotMyPresident because:
1. The Reserved President is a scheme engineered to keep out non-PAP approved candidates like Tan Cheng Bock.
2. The law to change the Constitution to allow for a Reserved President was hurried through Parliament in mere months.
3. The now incumbent had a walkover because all others who applied to run were disqualified without any reasons given.
All potential challengers to her were barred and not a single voter got to vote for her.
So no, she is still #NotMyPresident no matter what PR spin is put out there.
It is important for all Singaporeans to remember how she was installed for political reasons by the ruling party.
It is not disrespecting Mdm Halimah but recognising how the system was abused and how we should not accept such abuse for the highest office in the land."
