If I am the PM

I know this is as good a talking nonsense. No one can dream of becoming a PM unless he takes the first step to join a political party and become an Indian chief of a political party. I have not joined any political party so thinking of becoming a PM is academic. But it is quite fun really, to talk cock once a while. Many people did that. So let’s talk about this daydreaming.
 
Let’s say suay suay all the parties become minority parties and need to form a coalition govt but cannot agree on who to be PM. Then they look around for someone neutral and call Redbean to stand in as the PM. So I am the PM. I would want to be the most righteous PM, most caring PM, most pro Singapore PM, not necessary pro Singaporeans. I would like to even add, the most religious PM but that would only insult the religion that I professed to believe in. So I pass this one. I am no good and I have no religion so no need to pretend to be religious and spoil the good name of the religion.
 
OK, I must think Singapore first, always think Singapore first. This is not the same as the Singapore First Party. The latter thinks and wants to care for Singaporeans. I want Singapore to do well, to prosper, to grow into a vibrant and rich country at all cost. And to do that, it must have very good and clever people with the right qualifications and experience to govern the state.
 
I will start with the President. I will make the criteria for this appointment very stringent. Remember, he holds the second key to our reserves. So not anyone can offer himself as candidate to be President. See, I set very high standard for a good President to look after our reserves. He must have excellent credentials and experience in managing big money. I think someone in the finance industry like CEO of GIC, Temasek or DBS would qualify. Anything less no good. The President is all about guarding the reserves of the state so I think it is good to limit to finance people, top bankers and top fund managers. The rest no need to apply. Oh, PM and Finance Minister exempted, automatically qualified.
 
As for the politicians, MPs and ministers, they better be qualified or have knowledge on how to run a country. Yes, yes, they must know how to run a Town Council for a start, a prerequisite. But that is elementary. They must know the meaning of running a country and must be qualified or trained in government. Just because a person is a lawyer or doctor or engineer, or a general, does not make him good enough. Running a country means knowing everything, from being in the govt to running clans, trade unions, sports clubs and charity organizations. To be able to do these jobs, to become a ‘knows all’, they must have a degree in govt.
 
NUS and NTU must conduct a degree course on govt and anyone wants to stand for election to be in Parliament must have such a degree. You think running a govt is masak masak and any Tom, Dick and Harry with all kinds of unrelated qualifications and experience can just walk into Parliament and start to run a country. Cannot right? I am the PM so I decide what is best. I may even try out a candidate to catch rats. If cannot catch rats then not good enough. To me, since I am the PM, I regard catching rats very important, more important than running Town Council. Who is there to say I am being difficult?
 
Ok, exceptions. All incumbent MPs and ex MPs can be exempted from this degree course. They got experience mah. The new rule would apply to new politicians to be. As the new PM, I want to raise the bar to make sure only good people with the right experience and qualifications can stand for election.
 
See, I think only good for Singapore. Singapore will be very good, will go on forever and be prosperous forever under my premiership.
 
Agree or not? My conditions good or not?
 
Ok, Ok, I daydreaming only and pretending to be good PM.
