When you go to the polls this Saturday, you will be electing your next president. Hopefully, with your support, he will be Tan Jee Say. You will not be getting a figure head but someone who is willing to exercise the power given to him. Some people have come out to say the president cannot do this and cannot do that. They made it seemed that the elected president cannot do much except to listen to the cabinet. The president is not that weak. He is elected by you. What he cannot do as a president, he can do so as your representative. He can still listen to you and if need be, to express your concerns.

There may be certain legal constraints on what the president can do or cannot do. Jee Say understands that and will work closely with the government to make sure that this is a better country for all of us. But that does not mean he should be just a rubber stamp.

It would certainly be most absurd for an elected president to be denied the right to think and express opinions like any other citizen, or be disallowed from having his conscience guide him.

The Istana is not a 5-star restriction camp.

When you elect the president you empower him. We expect him to make sure we and our children do not suffer from the mismanagement of our money in the reserves and the CPF. Read More

Tan Jee Say clarifies job-hopping past in presidential rally speech

Presidential candidate Tan Jee Say dispelled in his presidential rally speech the Internet chatter which said he didn't perform well in his financial sector jobs.

"Things move very fast in the financial sector and you have to be nimble. I've changed jobs three times in about thirteen years. Not too bad a record compared to others in the financial sector," he told the audience.

He then elaborated on his employment history, such as being involved in the privatisation of SingTel when he was working at Morgan Grenfell, reported The Straits Times. His explanations were supported by another speaker earlier in the night.

Mr Basil Hwang, the managing director in a law firm and husband of Singapore Democratic Party's Michelle Lee, had spoken on stage about the queries surrounding Mr Tan Jee Say's switching of jobs. "Some people switch jobs every one to two years," Mr Hwang said. Mr Tan also said in his speech that the elected president needs to exercise his powers independently without fear or favour.

"We have had such a president before and we need one now," he said at the first presidential rally of the campaigning period. Other speakers before Mr Tan included National Solidarity Party (NSP) member Nicole Seah, who took to the stage earlier in the night and recalled how Mr Ong Teng Cheong was the people's president. Jeanette Chong-Aruldoss, also from the NSP, went up on stage to give her support to Mr Tan.

"Of the four candidates, Jee Say is the least partisan and most likely to act independently," she said. She also said that she was confident that if Mr Tan was elected president, he would not be "pro-PAP or pro-Opposition" but "pro-Singaporean". The rally ended with Mr Tan's family joining him on stage for photos. An emcee at the location claimed that there were 30,000 people in the stadium. Read More
