Here is a piece of my artwork dedicated to your farce of a "win".
Hope you can sleep well at night knowing you are sucking millions of taxpayers' dollars without having to really do much in a fucking lame duck ceremonial role. Oh and of course pretending to "serve" us Singaporeans when you will merely be at your master Mr Pinky Dishonourable Lee's beck and call.
'Singaporeans have an aspiration for race to matter less': DPM Tharman
" It is understandable that questions are raised on the reserved election. It is also understandable that most people, including myself and I’m sure most people here, would have preferred a contest. But the aspiration for race not to count is something that needs working towards. It cannot just be a pledge, it cannot be just an incantation."
Hundreds turn up at Hong Lim Park for silent protest against reserved presidential election
Two former presidential candidates were among hundreds of people who turned up at Hong Lim Park on Saturday (16 September) for a silent sit-in protest against the recent presidential election.
Tan Cheng Bock and Tan Jee Say, both of whom took part and lost in the 2011 presidential election, attended the event five days after former Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob was declared on Monday as the only candidate eligible to run in the presidential race. Halimah was inaugurated on Thursday as Singapore’s first female president, and the first from the Malay community in 47 years. This year’s election was reserved for Malay candidates.
Yahoo News Singapore arrived at Hong Lim Park around 4:30pm, and estimated a crowd of about 200 people. Around 6:00pm, it grew to about 800 people, according to this reporter. Organisers, however, estimated that the attendance was 2000 people at its peak.
Tan Cheng Bock was the main attraction of the protest, with a large crowd gathering around him when he turned up slightly after 5pm. Many of the attendees took photos with him and chanted his name. The former Ayer Rajah MP did not speak to reporters at the event.
Tan Jee Say told Yahoo News Singapore that the walkover in the reserved election has set a “bad precedent”.
“It’s bad democracy, it’s bad for meritocracy. Prime Minister (Lee Hsien Loong) has told us there are lots of people who can qualify, but yet we are disappointed that Halimah ended up as the only one who was eligible to stand,” said the Secretary-General of Singaporeans First Party.
When asked if the government would pay a political price as a result of the reserved election, he said most Singaporeans would forget about the issue by the time of the next General Election.
“The next General Election is still far away – about two, three years (more). I don’t know whether Singaporeans’ memory will last that long. A lot of things will happen along the way. There will be a lot of ‘goodies’ given by the government,” he added.
Gilbert Goh, who was one of the event organisers, explained that the protest was a silent one as the organisers felt that they would not be able to secure a police permit if there were speeches at the event.
Lim Tean, the former Secretary-General of the National Solidarity Party and a co-organiser of the protest, said, “There was no need for any speeches today because I think over the past few days, Singaporeans have made their own speeches on social media, which have been heard very loud and clear.”
Singaporeans have been disenchanted with the presidential electoral process and wanted to signal that the “manipulation” of Singapore’s Constitution cannot continue, Lim added.
“I think the silent protest today was a very powerful message to the PAP government.”
Gilbert Goh has called for a silent sit-in protest (text below) against the reserved presidential election today from 4.30PM to 6.30PM at Hong Lim Park.
I usually don’t do protests or solidarity.
But in solidarity, I posted yesterday a post on Hali’s inauguration speech thatimplies we are racists. And later today and tom in further shows of solidarity (I still don’t do protests), I’ll post more takes showing how the changes to the way the president is chosen
— decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which the office is held; or
— induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against the presidency and the president.
Sad.
Lamentation of the Malay minister’s brudder-in-law https://mothership.sg/2017/09/a-monumental-miscalculation/
Worth a read even if his comments appear in a PAPpy funded publication. Which begs the question, “Why does it appear there?”
What do u think?

Dear Fellow Singaporeans,
We have just received the NParks permit to stage a first-ever Silent Sit-in Protest against the Reserved Presidential Election this coming Saturday 16th Sep from 4.30 to 6.30pm.
Its a sit-in protest meaning that we won’t have any speakers for the event with no stage and no microphone speaker system. You can however bring along your placards to show your displeasure with the incoming government-appointed Presidency.
If you feel dissatisfied with the recent events surrounding the controversial PE, this is the time to show up and be counted. You can continue to be a keyboard warrior quietly firing away online but the time to step up is NOW!
Fear has crippled you all this while you are burnt up inside and its time to unleash that frustration by showing up with like-minded Singaporeans together as ONE voice.
People dropping by are encouraged to bring a mat and sit down silently on the park as a sign of protest against the PE. You can drop by anytime between 4.30 to 6.30pm or leave anytime of course. If you can join us for the sit-in silent protest for the whole 2 hours it will be great!
If you bring food and water along do be mindful not to litter the place.
Do wear black so we are united as ONE heart and people regardless of race and religion.
See you soon Singaporeans – Malays, Indians, Chinese and Eurasians are all welcomed!”
I shall pray with utmost sincerity that this pompous cunt gets struck by lightning or dies in a car accident so those millions she is potentially going to earn will rightfully be channeled to help the poor. She has just accumulated an unprecedented amount of bad karma for sure and we don't need a puppet president.
Trying to chill the tits of us enraged citizens-we were supposed to go to the polls today.
Not working Mr DPM, NOT WORKING!!!!!!!
Shiny bald head has spoken.

Truly 不要脸.
The public is seething with anger obviously.
Cover page of Wanbao this evening. Enjoy.
I shall pray with utmost sincerity that this pompous cunt gets struck by lightning or dies in a car accident so those millions she is potentially going to earn will rightfully be channeled to help the poor. She has just accumulated an unprecedented amount of bad karma for sure and we don't need a puppet president.
