Halimah is already training to be the Singapore president. She was at the National Day Parade rehearsal, standing in for President Tony Tan and performing his NDP role.

Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim has announced that he will not be running for president. He also had tips for upcoming presidential candidates. "Whoever is willing to step forward to take on the job must continue to carry the ethos of multiracialism, which is important," Dr Yaacob said. "He or she must continue to do their best to rally all Singaporeans, not just the Malay community."

The next President of Singapore have been slated for Malay candidates, and if contested, we will see a campaign between Malay Presidential candidates for possibly the first time in Singapore history. President Tony Tan's term ends on 31 August this year, it will be an interesting next few months as we will see who the Government will roll out as their selected President. Judging from their criteria, and by the fact that the next President is from a minority, we may not even see a real contest.

Statistically for the next presidential elections: … 99.9% (estimated) of the people may not qualify; Over 90% (estimated) of all the countries’ presidents may not qualify.

At a dialogue session on 15 September, a question was asked if the White Paper was directed at preventing certain individuals from running for the PE, Minister Shanmugam quoted my name. He told the participants and singularly identified me although my name was not mentioned by the audience, that l cannot qualify under the new rule change.

Don't you find it funny? Since the PAP government like to emphasize national identity, loyalty to country, and demand all Singaporeans to serve their "national service", why they allow the people who collaborate with the Japanese and then the British to rule our country?
