It troubles me that some segments in the Malay community celebrate President Halimah’s selection as a victory for the Malays. I am perplexed. What are we exactly proud of? Here, a Malay president was installed only because it was a reserved election. And there was no election – because there was only one candidate who was deemed to be qualified. There was no level playing field. And so a good person, President Halimah, is tainted by a faulty process.

Our reader is skeptical of meritocracy in Singapore as she claims that if we really uphold that value, we should have appointed a Eurasian Speaker of Parliament instead. Do you agree?

Singaporean playwright said he is sick of people trying to define Halimah's race. He thinks the idea of race or the fact that there is racial categorisation in Singapore is absurd. What do you think?

SDP's Damanhuri Bin Abas seems reluctant to accept the EP results and outlined lessons learnt from this Presidential 'election'. Some points include abuse of the word meritocracy, realities of racism in Singapore, lack of democracy and voiceless Malay community.

In the end, Halimah Yacob will just fade to become a silent President. "Don't expect that she will be vocal or questioning or even be too public". Do you agree?
