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?

The Singapore Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against the Government for not calling a by-election in the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC after Halimah Yacob vacated her seat. The pre-trial conference will be on 9 Oct 2017.

Our reader expected Halimah Yacob to win as Singapore will have a female head of state to 'show off'. He said the other 2 contenders did not even have comparable track records and were trying to 'dilute' her votes anyway. What do you think?

Petition starter who wanted to make PE2017 an open election for all races has closed his petition with a heavy heart. He thanked Singaporeans for their support and wishes Madam President the best in unifying the nation.

A netizen shared this posting on a popular local forum. Does this sum up what happened in this reserved "election"?

What a netizen thinks is the PAP's recipe to the EP. Do you agree?

Singapore playwright thinks race was just a distraction (this EP) for the PAP to retain elite power. He said PAP would rather deny people the right to confer Halimah with a mandate than "transfer" power to the people. What do you think?

Our reader thinks Singaporeans squandered their best chance in GE2015 where the opposition put up its strongest fight against the incumbent. He warned against giving the PAP a blank cheque as it will 'come back to haunt you'.

SDP's Damanhuri Abas is convinced that the reserved Presidency is a political ploy by the PAP to deny Singaporeans rights to choose their popular President. He assures people not to feel down but to bring about change in the next GE.
