A netizen disagreed with Min Shanmugam for saying that every minister's speech be taken as statutory legislation. He argued that if this is true, it defeats the purpose of The Hansard (an official record of speeches) and having Parliamentary sittings in the first place. What do you think?

A netizen sarcastically suggested SMRT to remove their "reserved seat" signs as nobody bothered giving up seats to her even though she is heavily pregnant. Why liddat siol?

Our reader wonder if Workers' Party will have the chance to speak on the Elected Presidency in Parliament. He asked if it's possible for all 6 WP MPs to file similar adjournment motions and at the last minute so they stand a better chance.

Sylvia Lim of the Workers' Party has re-filed a notice to speak on an adjournment motion on the topic "Counting from President Wee Kim Wee or President Ong Teng Cheong for Reserved Presidential Election - Policy Decision or Legal Question?"

Ex-NMP Calvin Cheng said the EP was fair and square and blamed people for slamming Halimah's race or using the #NotMyPresident hashtag. He thinks everyone must respect the result especially because she conducted herself with dignity.

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?

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?

Farid Khan thanked people for their support despite being disqualified from running for Presidency. He said he stepped forward because he saw a duty to do so for the Malay community, given the limited number of candidates who potentially qualify under the amendments.

Some may not consider Halimah Yacob to be Singapore's 2nd Malay President (as she is Indian Muslim), it is indisputable that she will be the first President who lives in a HDB flat.

Workers' Party's He Ting Ru is worried that people are so upset about the elected Presidency but wonders if it tells a lot about our society given that so few good men/women were willing to put themselves forward. What do you think?
