A netizen asks Madam President to look into bigger local issues such as train breakdowns, as it is affecting the daily lives of Singaporeans. She said she has to resort to taking premium buses and taxis just to avoid these delays.

Now only after the undeserving Halimah Yacob has been selected and installed as the President then Tharman comes out to say that he "would have preferred a contest". Why didn't he voice out his opinion before or during the "nomination day"?

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?

A little girl reciting the Singapore pledge fully in the Tamil language has been making the rounds again, especially in the wake of a divisive racially reserved election just days ago.

Former NSP Sec-Gen Lim Tean claimed the MSM had "grossly under-reported" the number of attendees for the Hong Lim Park silent protest against the "blatant racialism" of the Elected Presidency. He also thanked Tan Cheng Bock for turning up.

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?

Who cares about the humble living? As a President, Halimah Yacob should accept all the good and bad that goes along with the job, including moving out of her jumbo flat. Who can afford 'humble living' in a penthouse anyway?

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.

As momentum built in the run-up to nomination day for the reserved Presidential Election , it was becoming increasingly clear that the most popular choice of vote was going to be the spoilt vote .

Although Singaporeans are unhappy about the controversial decision to allow Halimah Yacob to become President of Singapore in a walkover election, many netizens did not take kindly to the kind of reception Madam Halimah Yacob's appointment received in China.
