The Next Elected President of Singapore

Well well, so the presidential elections have come again.

I am still not old enough to vote (unlucky candidates), but then, the last time we voted for a president was i-can't-remember because each election was almost a walkover by the incumbent, or someone heavily backed up the PM, MPs and government.

so here are some presidential nominees that COULD make an impact on Singapore in the future...

1) Gurmit Singh
Why not, he's an icon, he has been out there for NKF charity shows year after year (fulfils the "helped society criteria -check"), and is recognisable all over the world thanks to his stint on the Amazing Race as PCK.

Let's hope he won't appear on national TV in his permed hair and yellow boots. That'll be a hoot.

2) Eunice Olsen- or some other former beauty queen. Nadya, Jaimee Ong blah blah blah
We have broken taboos (or so some say) by having beautiful NMPs (nominated members of parliament). So let's break more taboos by having a beautiful president. (she may be an airhead, but other presidents would just look at one spot when she makes her appearance.)

3) Philip Yeo
And Singapore shall go to war. I can imagine his comments on Malaysia and other neighbouring countries if he gets elected...

4) Xiaxue.
NO! Case closed. But apparently, she's Singapore's most famous blogger (puke). Some style, but less and less substance liao. Well, who needs a short president anyway?

5) Clarence's tuition teacher *again*
For those not in the know, the last time we *tried* to elect a president, his tuition teacher applied, only to be rejected because he did not have the criteria necessary to be president.

He should try again. And then get rejected, and we would have a president that would be nominated by default (because whoever he is, he is the only *qualified* nominee)

6) LKY.
He has the cabinet in his hands, he has Singapore businesses in his hands, why not make the presidential seat his as well? Cons? He's a tad too old already, should be happily enjoying his retirement.

7) Me.
Why waste the money to send myself up for election when i'm not even going to get past the first round:)? haha.

Really, do we even have a presidential candidate in the wings? Maybe Peter Ho, maybe a retired former permanant secretary. Really I don't know.

But whomever our choices, it would be better than George W. Bush, and we'll never go to war because of weapons of mass destruction.

Or maybe we could attack the Riau islands to kill all the child prostitudes so that NMP Ms. Olsen would have her wish of the gahmen (borrowed from mrbrown) doing something to stop paedophilic Singaporean men.

Quite sad actually, paedophilic Singaporean men. I hope i don't know anyone who would turn up like that (i have one person in mind). But those you tend to have a latent dislike seem to end up in your family.
