2023 Tharman beats 2017 Halimah
A Joke? A Comedy? A Tragedy?
The Elected Presidency is a joke, a comedy or a tragedy. Anyway, this is the teaching of the PAP government making us believe it is not.
Tharman 2023 stands in an ‘open’ election and certainly beats Halimah 2017 in a ‘reserved’ election.
It is A Joke. The reserved election is to protect the minority, from the GRC system to the presidential election.
It is A Comedy. We are educated to believe the EP system is an independent, fair, and no walkover. But race over merit, race over performance.
It is A Tragedy. Everyone is made to trust the EP system will work for a better Singapore and the reserve is well protected with a second key.
The PAP’s propaganda is so effective that it turns a tragedy into a joke and a comedy. And so, we ‘ownself laugh ownself’, ‘ownself joke ownself’ and ‘ownself teach ownself’ about the EP.
A Joke. If the elected Tharman becomes second Halimah. A walkover and do nothing president.
A potential and highly regarded minority race senior minister cannot become a prime minister but is qualified to be a president.
A Comedy. If the elected Tharman becomes second Tony Tan. A smart, talented but silent president.
Again, a highly commented senior minister by Lee Kuan Yew cannot become prime minister but has to settle for a presidential post.
A Tragedy. If the elected Tharman becomes second Ong Teng Cheong. It will be a disaster, a tragedy for the PAP but good news for Singaporeans. With independence of minds, will the elected Tharman exercise it?
Don’t laugh, no joke, the PAP is capable of turning the EP into another comedy, another tragedy.
