    I'm excited to see what they will bring! Sounds very exciting if they lend support/expand initiatives/create new platforms and initiatives for such things. Between the man and his wife, they show interest for sports, empowerment, arts & culture, mental health, (& this I didn't know but she mentioned in the interview -) sustainability ... and they met all these young creatives during the campaign period. Very exciting if this is a preview of what they'd like to/choose to pursue as their area of interest in presidency Of course the flipside is, if its just talk I'll be very sad. Hahaha. Even as early as this ^ interview, I felt like "ok, as a young person I quite like what I hear but- for really or say only?!"

    The crux of the public’s discontent is PAP’s application of “ownself check ownself” to investigations into wrongdoings or failed services. It cannot be that the ruling party of scholars do not believe in independent reviews. The further removed from the Executive, the better, in such circumstances. The normalisation of “ownself check ownself” is disingenuous and borders on fraudulent practice.

    Not true. It is important to have a succession plan for a younger and more energetic leader to take over. PM job is much harder. As a President, he can serve at least 2 terms or a total of 12 years. He will be 78 by the end. I dont think it is healthy for Singapore or the government our PM to be beyond 70 years old. The stress level for PM is much higher.
