The Presidency: reserved in case of any fallen Minister?
-
with about 4 months to go before presidential elections, there still isn't a clear candidate. the most probable name so far has been abdullah tarmugi, but he has been unwilling to commit to anything. is it possible that this post in reserved in case any minister loses the seat?
-
Tough choices.
Professor Jayakumar
Lim Boon Heng
Abdullah Tarmugi
maybe Tom, or Harry
Dick still around?
-
I doubt so.
Very sia suay..... those who have retired earlier maybe... but those contesting this elections no bah... -

jayakumar too useful to be president? lim boon heng said no. i was thinking more of, what if by a "freak result" mah bow tan loses his seat... -
Scenario1:
i once saw people on a sinking ship fulla holes in the middles of a huge ocean...fulla holes.no one wanted to repair it even though it was sinking....then some people founded some material to repair the holes on sinking ship.then some found a dinghyand floated it in the middle of the huge ocean.
so some started patching up the ship with material and found it was difficult because they didnt have the right engneer or people with knowledge to fix it.then some decided to climb into the dinghy b4 the ship sinks.
so the situation ended where one group of people climbed into a small dinghy in the middle of the ocean.the other stayed back on sinking ship scratching heads trying to know how to fix the holes on sinking ship with water gushing out of the many holes.
results:people in dinghy were found 1 month later dried up like ikan bilis.
sinking ship sank a bit at a time until there was no way get materials to fix the holes underwater.everyone died on it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scenario 2:sinking ship had people and no one cared much n pretended ship would fix itself somehow...everyone died as ship slowly sank.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
captain of ship was dry n comfy all the while until he was on the roof top of his sinking ship a few metres from circling sharks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
solution:
1)either u get experts to fix the holes on sinkin ship.
2) build another brand new ship b4 old ship eventually sinks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note;
if u dun get the story...then dont bother readin it.

Possibly.
Maybe reserved for highest ranking incumbent party loser in the elections.
Just like NCMP scheme.

President will come from government (inside) and probably holding a full diplomat, speical envoy, or high commissionor rank.

I think the Presidency is the highest paying position.
Much better than a normal minister salary.

LHL always gives this argument that cos president's pay is low, everyone below him got their pay suppressed. come on. which rule say president, PM or minister must earn more than their subordinates? when former HK chief executive tung chee hwa increased civil service pay, all his cabinet members starting earning more than him. -
this thread, started even before GE, is coming true...?
