Let’s work
out another scheme to replace the Elected President scheme that would not end
up with a rogue president. How about a new condition that all candidates for
the Presidency must come from the ruling party? Why, because the ruling party
has a very good tea session that would rule out any potential rogues into
parliament or to become the president. Just a suggestion only ok, don’t get
excited or angry can? Maybe all presidential candidates must be natural
aristocrats. Natural aristocrats are incorruptible by nature.
Maybe an
easier way is to revert to the appointed president scheme. That one was working
until some smart alec said an elected president scheme is better. Since all the
smart alecs now said elected president not safe, then go back to appointed
president. When they panicked the last time, they forgot the principle that
when something is not broken, don’t change it. But they changed it, to an
elected president, and now they suddenly discovered that this is a bad scheme.
But before
they go back to the appointed president scheme, let me quote a comment by an
anonymous here.
‘Anonymous said... If a rogue regime chooses its own President and any Other
Office Holders. NAURALLY ALL WILL BE
ROGUE. Commonsense la.’
What do you think,
does this comment make any sense? Which scheme will be more dangerous, an
elected president when the mistake, if made, will be made by the electorate, or
the appointed president where the mistake would be made by a handful of people?
Should the election of a president be left in the hands of a rogue govt? A
president can be a rogue, an elected govt also can become rogue right?
Should the govt take
heed to the comments by this anonymous or to listen to the smart alecs? Is
there a system that can guarantee a president that is not corrupt?
1 person effort can never achieve anything

Green white faced evil scholar.
Common folks of peasants more passionate and honest than them.
So many Directors petty cash cash also gasak, laptop also gasak. Ex-NTUC Chief also CBT.
Next Presidential Candidate must be ex Honorable Ministers, ex-Top CIvil Servants,ex-Judges etc etc.
One must not shame the PAP ruling elites,
They will try first to put a ceremonial President, if not the hurdles are so high that even TCB, TJS or whoever don't not think to qualify.
// A president can be a rogue, an elected govt also can become rogue right? //
ReplyDeleteThe logic of statistics or rather probability could easily throw light to the darkness surrounding the above question?
But power can ( temporarily ) defy any logic?
DeleteJust like gravity can be ( temporarily ) defied?
DeleteAn aeroplane can ( temporarily ) defy the law of gravity, take off, soar towards the sky and cruise above the clouds but sooner or later it will be subjected to gravity ......?
DeleteThe defy ( against gravity ) by the aeroplane is only temporary. ......
DeleteWhen a system is poorly maintained or built, any tinker is just temporary?
DeleteGravity will, sooner or later, subject the plane to its law, unless it touch down on time .....?
DeleteBut on the other hand, though it is oso known that in economics, fiscal and monetary policies effects are short run in essence, there may be a turn back, once embarked ....?
DeleteTypo @ 10.14 am
DeleteShould be " may NOT be a turn back" ....
For examples, in Japan and the US, there is no turn back option liao in their economics fiscal and monetary policies. ......
Their only option is to continue to use fiscal and monetary policies ( though already ineffective at some point in time ), to manage their economies?
DeleteAt their current ( national ) financial situations, what other option than to continue with past fiscal and monetary policies ( and pretend they are going to fix the problems )?
DeleteThus the issue is not whether the plane can defy gravity ( forever ), it is not if BUT WHEN the plane needs to touch down?
DeleteThus, statistics or rather probability can easily give an answer to the above quoted question?
DeleteNo need to ( wayang and ) debate on the issue ( and wasting a lot of taxpayers resources and everybolee's time at taxpayers expense )?
DeleteIn the short run, power can defy the logic of statistics ( and/ or probability ) ?
DeleteIn the long run, power ( like the aeroplane ) has to subject itself to the logic of statistics and/ or probability ( just like gravity )?
ReplyDeleteWhy waste time and resources?
Follow the KISS principle!
KISS...... Keep It Super Simple!
Cheers.
My choice: President appointed by parliament. The process duly recoreded in Hansard, and captured by camera for TV broadcast. Everything out in the open
ReplyDeleteHow parliament chooses the president is up to them....either by vote or by throwing dice, or even oh-peh-som doesn't matter. Those on the short-list to become president have already passed "the criteria" setup by parliament---aka our democratically elected members of the house we chose fair-and-square, we pay BIG BUCKS to, and whom we DESERVE.
Popularly elected president: Worst idea EVER!.
// The heat is on. Do away with the flawed Elected Presidency. How can we have a system where the electorate could vote in a rogue president? We must have a similar system like our GE where no matter how daft the electorate are, they would never elect a rogue govt to power. Our system is so well designed and tested, no rogue govt has been elected so far and would never will. //
ReplyDeleteRB, to draw an analogy in Mathematics, to reach a solution or solutions, 2 curves or 2 lines or 1 curve and 1 line must intersect each other, otherwise there is no answer ( solution ) to the set of functions in the situation faced. ....?
If say quadratic equation A ( a function say f(x) ) which represents the people, and quadratic equation B ( a function say g(x) ) which represents the elites, and YEW try to find the points of intersection ( common interests ) between quadratic equation A ( the people represented by function f(x) ) and quadratic equation B ( the elites represented by the function g(x) ), so YEW equalise f(x) and g(x) in mathematical equation form, right?
DeleteIn some instances, the resulting quadratic equation from equalising f(x) ( representing the people ) and g(x) ( representing some ( rogue ) elites ) may have no solution bcos its determinant ( b2 – 4ac ) is negative ( < 0 ) .......
DeleteAs an analogy, the Elected Presidency could be function h(x), cutting across f(x) and g(x) with solutions for x where h(x) ( hypothetically speaking the Elected Presidency ) intersects f(x) ( representing the people ) and g(x) ( representing some "(rogue) elites" hypothetically )?
DeleteNow h(x) ( the Elected Presidency ) may offer "HOPE" ( to the people ) as there are solutions ( for x ) where h(x) intersects f(x) and g(x)?
DeleteWith f(x) ( hypothetically representing the people ) and g(x) ( hypothetically representing some "( rogue ) elites" ) "oceans apart" and therefore offering no solution for the variable x, h(x) ( hypothetically representing the Elected Presidency ) functions as a "bridging mechanism" offering "HOPE" to the people as solutions can be found for variable x where h(x) interconnects f(x) and g(x)?
DeleteIn the end, the other animals could not differentiate the pigs from the humans. They look similar.

Delete//In the end, the other animals could not differentiate the pigs from the humans. They look similar.//
It has to be the case, at least going by the bell curve .....?
No?
In order to differentiate anything, do YEW not know YEW need to understand a branch of mathematics called Calculus?
How would the 70% know how to differentiate even simple things ( functions ) when they do not know and understand the "Calculus" of sinkieland politics?
DeleteAs an analogy, if YEW do a survey at an MRT station, how many sinkies would know how to differentiate ( mathematically ) a simple function say, ln(g(x))?
DeleteWithout knowing any "Calculus" of sinkieland politics, is it any surprise most sinkies ( about 70% ) do not know how to differentiate a pig from a human?
DeleteJust like many sinkies do not know and understand much mathematics calculus and therefore do not know how to differentiate a simple mathematical function say ln(g(x)) or know what is the derivative of ln(g(x))?
Only the minority ( about 30% ) knows ......?
But how can or in what ways can the minority ( about 30% ) impart this "Calculus" knowledge to the majority ( about 70% ) so that they know how to differentiate pigs from humans or know the answer to the derivative of choosing between pigs and humans?
DeleteWhy derivative?
DeleteBcos in mathematics when YEW know how to differentiate a function, YEW will get a ( correct ) derivative ( solution ) .......?
But how to bring about this process?
Any courses among the 10,000 under SkillsFuture that teach the "Calculus" of sinkieland politics so that the about 70% majority understand basic "Differentiation" in sinkieland politics and able to "differentiate correctly" between pigs and humans?
Whether the idea is good or bad, it will go down well after lots of talking cock and singing songs that Sinkies like to hear. It always work. There is nothing we can do and there is everything they can do.

ReplyDeleteElected president can provide a check and balance against rogue govt ( if immature opposition party take power)
Elected president should also subjected to another group of committee ( provide another check and balance against his power)
This group of committees should been elected by those certified economist experts,accountant,not ordinary people.
This Committee had power to perform a judicial review on the decision made by the president. ( in event that the president is stalling any good plan by govt)
There is yet another commonsense about Sg in sin(moral)
ReplyDeleteThe Tiny Dot shall sink and Sinkies
suffer NOT because they are starving,
BUT, because of GREED and SELFISHNESS of the People from the
VERY TOP TO THE BOTTOM and there
are 70% of them.
What is there for Sinkies to calculate not to mention understand calculus? Throw them a few lollipops or scraps and they will understand fully well what that means. And when they ask for more, ho liao, just keep throwing and there will be more good years for the PAP.
ReplyDeleteMay the farce be with us!
